So they are not sure why I thought they were league 1 for some reason. So yes would be a 6.00.

I think they were supposed to be league 1, but they were relegated down to the bottom league when Rawicz were refused their licence for 2024 and they decided to to restructure the leagues.

Given that Palovaara has been given an assessed 5.00 as he hasn’t ridden in this country for a number of years, that may mean Kim Nilsson would be assessed too and based on his Polish league standing these days I believe he’d come in on a 6.50.

Would be a shrewd bit of business by Edinburgh to get both of them on assessed averages.

1) Sedgy

2) VP

3) MPT

4) Paco

5) Nilsson

6) Lasse

7) James

Palm Toft. Not sure about that.

I don`t usually do this but I found myself with some time to spare this evening. I also picked up some of the comments from some of the contributors who may have inside information.

I came up with this team :

Sedgemen     7.92

Castagna        7.11

Thomson        6.53

Nilsson            6.50

Boughan         5.16

Palovaara       5.00

Max James     2.00

Total               40.22

If I have the correct averages it is 0.22 over the limit so I was hoping Nilsson may possibly

be a bit lower and perhaps Boughan has still to receive the 0.13 reduction as a British rider.

This gives us fresh faces and Victor as a reserve. Just a bit of fun and I am probably well off

the final team.

Put in Fredriksen for Boughen & it fits.

Think Lasse would be a strong reserve.

Would like to think that Paco was nailed on as well as Sedgy and Victor Palovaara.  Would also like to see 2 stronger reserves to give the team more balance.

I know that it fits as it was one of my permutations but if Boughan is available to us I would not want to lose him. I also like Lasse and that is the problem with the points limit. Happy that it is the promoters who have the difficult choices and not me. Nilsson may be the key as he might just be a rumour that is going around. 

I believe that the promoters know that a repeat of the last 2 years is likely to seriously damage attendances but

can we afford the cost of bringing some of these riders to Scotland without damaging the finances? So difficult!

Boughen isn’t available he’s signed up at Glasgow.

Edinburgh have signed Sweden's Jonatan Grahn on 5.00

Certainly another "import" was expected although this one is a surprise.  On the subject of 5.00s - maybe another to follow perhaps ?  Or a different surprise ?   For what it's worth the team I had in mind now that his identity* is known was  :

1.  Sedgmen    7.92

2. * Grahn       5.00

3  .Castagna    7.11

4. * "Import"   5.00

5.  Pavlovarra 5.00

6.  Ablitt           4.91

7.  Frederiksen 4.67       39..61

Probs. off the mark with one or two of the above but quite fancy it anyway.   May generate a lot of new interest from the fans though ?
