Hagon would finish the side off and make it look pretty strong (certainly at home) however if the other reserve berth is weak/new to british speedway i can see another year of close but fall short come the play offs

If hagon signed we'd already know who the other reserve is 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤡🤡🤡

Sounds like a very good idea as long as costs make it financially viable.

Looks like a few long journeys though,  Kent Plymouth King's Lynn and Birmingham,  lot of travel expenses required

Traditionally, lower-league competition -- which was close to amateur in some cases (Linlithgow, Buxton, etc) -- saw the teams travelling together, often in just a couple of vans.    

Not so expensive, and great for team bonding, too.

bit of a negative way of looking at it

its a good thing that there will be more opportunities for NL standard/ aged riders

part of being a speedway rider or any motorsportsperson for that matter is travelling, just one of those things

Yeah absolutely. Thinking it might have been something Mildenhall would have been interested in.

The fans can make it viable by turning up in the same numbers they do for Championship fixtures. Here's hoping they do.

That isn't going to happen.

Best rider I can see for Workington's last rider would be Jake Mulford, but I'm guessing he'll be back at Redcar, so Jacob Hook would be my next pick. Unless they find a suitable 4.00 newcomer.

I'd be happy with Roynon if there was only 3.50 available, but there's gotta be better options nearer or above 4.
