With yesterday's announcement regarding more teams looking to join the national league it will be interesting to see what the points limit will be . Also will the upper level championship average be raised as currently will block several riders from competing. Will they stop riders doing all three leagues personally think anyone riding premier league shouldn't be in national league.

Totally agree, if you're good enough to be racing against Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Bewley etc surely you're too good to compete against Mark Parker & Jack Shimelt etc al

I honestly don't think they look that far ahead. Max Perry for example wouldn't have had a team if they didn't change the rules after most teams were complete. This shouldn't need to happen if they planned ahead better!

Apart from RS’s. They are in the top division not because they are good enough to be racing Doyle etc but because they are RS’s.

I'd suggest RS picks should be riders "too good" for the NDL. But still not ready to step up to the Prem fully.

IMO every team should be aiming to run 2nd half races for junior riders, let riders book in advance so they know they're guaranteed 2-3 rides. Obviously major incidents or bad weather will impact on the time available to run the races, but if meetings started at the advertised time, no delayed start due to queues outside, unless a major RTA in the area. If everyone knows the parade is 7:15 and first race 7:30 its upto them to get into the stadium ontime. Barring major incidents or poor weather it should be easy to get 15 races done and dusted in 90 minutes, leaving a fair bit of time for some junior races.

Hinted at Edinburgh Video Night on Friday the there may be two divisions for National League in 2025.

Must be a fair few teams joining then if there's going to be enough for 2 divisions? There has to be at least 10 (from existing and new) for something like that to work surely

I'd love to see Glasgow put a NL team out.

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Workington, Redcar, Belle Vue

Leicester, Oxford, Kent, Sheffthorpe, Mildenhall? (Not sure on the Mildenhall situation)

Never going to happen, I just don't understand where all the teams are going to appear from to create 2 divisions. Unless Oxford put 3 or 4 NL teams out 😁

That's not a bad shout on Oxford

Think riders can ride for south and north teams was a suggestion.
