Probably all the riders keen to return too. Depending on the points limit, there's gonna at least one disappointed rider.

I don’t want to see a diluted standard of racing. Expand Another thought are there enough rider to go around if you drop to 36? I'm pretty sure Poole and Glasgow are about 45 so you're dropping 9 points. So you're talking about dropping Lawson/ basso and Rowe/ vissing for 2 2 pointers. Apart from fact how ridiculously weaker the league would be but if we need something like 14 to 18 2 pointers then you're down to NDL reserves!

It's not raining at the moment. I took a detour past the track on the way to work and the pavements are still damp. A few puddles in places. No idea what's been done to the track though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgowstu Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Weather is good. To be cloudy, breezy and dry all day so I'd expect conditions to be pretty good tonight. Just brightening up so hopefully get dried out nicely. This will certainly be on going by the forecast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be go either way, either not enough low average riders riders and then potentially also forcing some riders out of the sport if there is no room to accommodate them in any team due to having too low a points limit. It would then force the premature retirement of riders when they still have good racing ability. Its happened before when the points limit has been drastically reduced. They need to get the balance right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Buzzing for this tonight. I’m out on the coast, but a friend said it’s raining on the outskirts of Glasgow. Regardless, the forecast is positive, so here’s hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
