Completely agree. Don't think on paper there is a lot between Swindon, Coventry, Belle Vue, Kings Lynn and predicted Poole team.
A lot will come down to clashes, injury and form.
Think on paper the Swindon team looks very strong.
The only concerns for me would be Zengi away form and if Adrian will put EL high on his list of priorities.
What's to stop a fast draft rider losing his PL or NL place once he starts racing.Didn't some riders sign for their EL club before they had found a PL or NL place?
Not feeling as confident.
Bridgers heart wasn't in speedway and it showed. He had some really poor displays last year and spent a lot of time doing wheelies when didn't take the lead.
In my opinion he weakens the team and has the wrong attitude. Really hoping he proves me wrong.
Would be more than happy with Pawlicki (although can't see it happening as Havvy prefers no polish riders & comes at a cost) or Mads who would be great esp round Brandon if he can't find his form.
No thanks to Bridger.
