My team was more hope than what I think will happen :t:

Just seen your side, looks a decent one

I just think with 8/9 teams you'll find it hard to have two stand outs

Doyle @Swindon 

Fricke @Belle Vue

Iversen @ Ipswich   

Holder @Poole

Bjerre @Peterboro

Cook @  Glasgow

Kurtz @ Somerset

Lambert @ Kings Lynn

Masters @ Wolves

 

These should start as no.1s for their clubs if a bit of money is about from Eurosport then perhaps the likes of Milik, Michelsen, Zagar might be seen again 

I hear they want 10 teams in the top flight but if glasgow dont come up then maybe they'll run with 8 sides then Cook could end up at Lynn 

Personally I cant see a 10th club wanting to take the plunge but 10 clubs home and away once is 18 league meetings which is more than enough for the top flight

Yeah, but it still made me laugh. Once in a Poole programme they called David Norris, Mavis Norris!!! I think I laughed for the whole meeting at that! :D

There was a time when referee Lew Stripp and Len Silver were not exactly the best of friends. One programme accidentally named him as Lew Stiff. I am certain it was just a typo.....

Troy Batchelor deserves a team place, as he has been loyal to British speedway.

I'm sure he will get one just that list was the realistic no.1 for the 8/9 clubs who might make up the prem next season 

I'm sure Batch will end up back at Swindon next year especially if Glasgow came up as Jensen would stay at Glasgow as they would pay more £££

Be hard to have Batch as a number 2 next season, would make the tail end a bit weak for the team that employs him.

I can’t see Glasgow moving up and losing the “local” derbies with Edinburgh, Berwick, Newcastle etc

With the average age of the Speedway Fan, how many extra bums on seats do these local derbies provide?

Even with Ipswich vs Kings Lynn or Ipswich v Peterborough you might be lucky to get 30-50 bodies in

If the rumour of a bit of money is true from Eurosport then Glasgow should go where the money is, and I am sure with their set up their sponsorship would have more value with being on TV.

he is no1 on falcons list which is what i was responding to (in a lighthearted manor)

Its always lighthearted 

I said C.Holder purely because Jack won't be at no.1 for very long

I think however that with Chris in the team you will get the best out of Jack.

My team for next year would be

1.  Lambo

2.  MPT

3.  Erik

4.  Bomber

5.  C.Wright

6.  L.Kerr

7. B.Nicol

Team total 42.47  THis includes the 2.5% reduction for the Brit riders. Think I’ve worked it out right.

Obviously not but polish league vs British league totally different as you know

It's like running a race against olympic sprinters or people with one leg

And Chris still isn’t a number one in the UK anymore either.

Not comparing the two leagues. You were talking about getting the best out of Jack if Chris is in the same team!  The only place there has been any experience of that is Torun.

CH has been in the Poole pits on many occasions this season advising/assisting etc his brother.

Think Cook will be at Glasgow if they are the 8th team to come up with Somerset

Alongside Jensen, Vissing and Starke plus 3

You might be right, but Craig has said he would like to come back to Lynn in 2020.
