Due to the reduced points limit for 2008 season which has been reduced from 38.85 from last seasons 42.50, the Bees have had to drastically make changes for the forthcoming season of which the major change is the departure, albeit on loan, of Scott Nicholls to Eastbourne.
However the Bees have confirmed that Rory Schlein and Chris Harris will be returning to the Brandon shale in 2008, and they will be ably joined by loanee Simon Stead who last season rode for Belle Vue. Simon will begin the season as one of the 3 heat leaders in the side.
These signings leave a total of 16.60 points to cover the remaining 4 riders.
