Garry1603 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 So, who do you think will return for next season? Assuming the rules stay similar of course. I'd want to keep Fricke (if he rides in the UK), Kurtz, Brennan and Blodorn and maybe make a move for Ellis if he were surplus to requirements at Sheffield. Presume that Zagar might be too expensive to return which leaves Wright and Etheridge as options depending on the average limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as always the BSPL promise so much in the build up to winter only to fail to deliver so we will see what happens. But I do hope the rising star stays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they are trying to put bigger gap between the two leagues, with talk the Champ team ave is going down. Are they trying to phase out doubling up over a few seasons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Rising Star will stay imo just for cost cutting measures. Scrapping it means a higher wage bill and some clubs struggle as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect big improvements from the bottom three, especially Lidsey. So what sized league are we to expect? Just hope it's at least eight. Is Oxford expected to come up?

Bagpuss Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 It needs to be eight at least really. Oxford have announced they are staying 2nd division but hopefully a couple of others might step up......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubts about Leicester when they won't even move away from Sat to fit any overdue fixtures in for the Champ, so can't see them moving away from Sat for a full season! But will wait and see what happens with interest. If no Edinburgh next season then could have 8 in one league and 7 in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Leicester are moving up. there will be 7 teams unless Glasgow can be persuaded. Which depends on whether Edinburgh race next year or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Leicester? Really, been there done that. Given crowds are often better on Saturdays for the Championship than Mondays in the Premiership were I just can't see it.* * Unless Damian Bates is selling up to someone very gullible or with very deep pockets.

Falcon1983 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Leicester and Glasgow moving up Glasgow favourites to sign Bewley also once they confirm after current championship play offs are completed. Bewley, Cook, Basso nailed on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
