Signing Crump and Pedersen is a calculated gamble and as long as those looking after the finances at Plymouth have got their sums right there shouldn't be an issue. If they have not Plymouth will be in all kinds of trouble.
If speedway is to return to Odsal then I don't see as a track to be used occasionly for the bigger meeting, be it BSPA or FIM meetings. We already have the NSS for that, so that will leave a return for league racing where I honestly dont see enough support for that.
Speedway has been gone from Bradford for a few years now so is there still the appetite and support for speedway in the city. You can lay the track, select the team but all of that is pretty pointless if the people are not there to support it.
Pedersen finished his last full season with an average of 6-91, making his Championship average around 10-36. Whether he gets any reductions I wouldnt know.
Doolan has moved back to Australia, Howe has said in many interviews there`s not a chance he would return, and Complin, have you seen the size of him lately.
Giving the circumstances Plymouth find themselves in putting their team together, not of their making, I think they will find it very difficult to put a competitive team together. Obviously there`s Covid, and of course the situation with riders who are committed to Poland.
Maybe at some tracks social distancing will be a bigger issue than others, for example at Newcastle where only one side is available compared to Berwick where the whole stadium is available, though as has already been said going on normal crowds you`d like to think it wont have a big impact. Majority of clubs would love that problem.
Giving the current situation and the vast majority of riders who are available already snapped up Plymouth might find things a bit harder than normal actually putting together a competitive team.
