Cast1rn Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 As we approach the end of the season, and the silly season approaches, what are we looking to build to for 2024 ? 40, 42, 38, 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 When I was a regular, team building couldn’t exceed a collective average of 45. Has that changed? If so, why? I’d assume lowering the average would somewhat lower quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I would assume 40 for now. But they could decide anything at the AGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Could also depend on the possibility of the top two leagues joining together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I think we might be down a little bit on average allowed, but would expect the champ to go similar to the Prem in 6 riders + a rising star/2 point rider/under 21 type of team build. Also going to depend on how many teams in each league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how pie eyed all the promoters get in Tenerife after that anything could happen. Edited September 30, 2023 by Mike0310 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBSN Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 The biggest factor will be how many teams will be in the Championship. Heat leaders could be spread thin if rumours are to be believed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 How likely is this one league thing? Or are they going to stick with Prem and Champ, going with the rumour Birmingham are moving up, so would make Prem a 6 and Champ an 8 (assuming Edinburgh confirm). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the points limit will be reduced still further to ensure teams can't be too strong as in 2022 when the agreed 42 suddenly went down to 40!

But let's be honest 40 points had a lot of the teams built very similarly and anyone of the top 5 could've made the final. Edinburgh and Berwick hampered by injuries probably would've been far more competitive had they dodged that. So where's the logic in dropping it any further, your just going to dilute the product even further? Again I've used the word Logic which might be my stumbling block on why they would change it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Doesn't matter wot the limit is because it will allow Poole to build another successful team regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
