Hopefully they keep the points limit at 42 as 40 would make the product worse imo. 
 

If 42 would like to see us line up like so 

1. Masters               
2. Fredricksen    
3. Sedgmen      
4. castanga         
5. Cook          
6. hook        
7. Complin 

 

Think Masters be heading south to other pastures new not Brum just my own assumption as he just become a dad again and may want to be based closer to home

Great news. Common sense to get Speedway back at Armadale. The land owners were never going to sell the land for the price asked, so it's good news on both sides to continue with speedway.

Blobby’s team will be close I think. Thomsen or Sedgmen the choice. 

Yup -that looks about right to keep the total under 41 ( with 2 x 2.5% reductions ).  JS seems to have had a transformation this year, but without that I would have given Kye the gig instead.  Sam, Cookie and Sedgy all in the same team would be a formidable trio and they all gel well together too as has been witnessed in the past.  However if points limit drops to 40 I would doubt if any team could afford to spend 10.58 on a #1 to leave only 29.42 for 6 others.  AFIK nothing official yet on limits so who knows ?  Main thing is we are running in 2023 so that is one heck of an early Christmas present !   Great credit to our management and to the stadium owners for making it happen.

I'd disagree with that, it would make the product weaker but not necessarily worse.

Take a heat 4, Lawson & Ablitt vs Pickering & Hook, you'll likely get 2 riders miles behind the others.

I'm not suggesting a 38 point limit is the way to go, but if every team was the strength of Birmingham & Newcastle i.e Auty & Pearson vs Starke & Complin the racing should be closer!

Fab news, providing it all goes smoothly. Never want to see clubs close. Hope the Monarchs can now find a new stadium for 2024.

The very strong rumour, especially on the back of potentially more Polish league riders becoming available  is that BSPL want to make the Prem stronger ie higher points limit and Championship weaker with a lower points limit. The exact points dependant on how many clubs are declared for each league and who buys the biscuits at the AGM?!

Well done to the Promotion.They could have easily walked away with their heads held high given the precarious nature that the sport is in and the ageing years of the main men,certainly aren’t in it for the money.They are an excellent Promotion with their love for the sport and the fans who rally round them year after year.All the best in 2023.
