No indication if they will or will not run a team. 
 

but just incase they do Plymouth team next year if GSA on BSPA website are correct, trigger and Roynon would be a good start. 

Not sure Plymouth will Run a second team with the money the club have lost this season.

I can't see an NDL setup at Plymouth all the time they have Championship racing. Outside the cost the level of support for such a venture has to be questioned. Oxford had 2000+ for Championship events but only 300 for NDL. Our public only have so much money & they are voting with their feet.

I was at a Chargers match at Oxford, and there were a lot, lot more than 300 there.  I would estimate close to 1,000..….

Oxford's crowds at Championship and NDL level seemed pretty healthy to me.   I can see them being the only Championship club to also run a NDL team next year.

Berwick are definitely running a NDL team in 2023

Thats presumably why they and Oxford allegedly vetoed the 2 home and 2 away CL matches so that they could remain faithful to their plans to develop young talent via  NDL route. 

Laudible if true. 

Personally I think its harder for Plymouth to run NDL midweek as a lack of riders available regularly due to geographic location. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they ran CL only and focused on quality over quantity in terms of Fixtures. I've heard that Birmingham preferred that route.

They weren't on Tuesday when Championship was set to be 2 home & 2 away.   Bewick, Armadale and Plymouth were all set to dump NDL.   Did they change their minds on Wednesday?

The promoter (can't remember which one of the Courtney's) told the crowd after the last meeting of the season that Berwick would be running a team in both the CL and NDL).
