Belle Vue 2023

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.

Bewley (not going Oxford now)

lidsey

 

id think that’s pretty much nailed on 

 

 

Combined GSA of over 47. Seems unlikely the points limit will be anywhere near that.

It seems to be being scrapped from what I hear. 
I don’t agree with that myself. It should stay 

The opinion seems to be that it’s not now needed, with far more options apparently being available to clubs this time around, married together with an increased points limit. Could see some pretty strong looking line ups next season, compared to what we’ve seen in recent years anyway.

Indeed it should be stronger. 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

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?

That sounds pretty good to me. 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?

Possibly Leicester.

You get the feeling there would have to be serious changes to entice anyone up though.

Yes! 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.

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.*
