The old PL Is nearly as strong as the EL argument.

It's as weak as it has ever been but still too strong for any PL team.

The odd PL team might grab a win at home but would be beaten out of sight over 2 legs.

Total certainty.

I'm afraid I have to concur with stevebrum on this, the difference in quality between EL and PL is still to massive, any result over 2 legs would always be an EL win by 25/35 points aggregate....

Yet year on year some PL fantasists reckon the EL is that weak. It isn't.

Seems like coventry have now a decent team looking at the others in the EL, Poole will run away with the league. i wonder how the top teams in the PL would go on against some of these EL teams i think they would be closer than you think.

Don't agree that Poole will run away with it, Swindon look a strong team as do Belle Vue, Coventry look basement material to me.

Belle Vue have replaced Josh G with Ritchie Worrall and signed Steve Boxhall, so in my eyes they are weaker than last year and didn't win the league so why would they win the league now, they are also moving to a new track so won't have any home track advantage to start with and probably won't for most of the season. Coventry have 3 heat leaders as good as any in the league. Swindon have Somersets team from 2013 so if the EL is far better than the PL then they will struggle if we go on what people say on here about the EL PL divide

U don't think Doyle and Morris have improved since 2013?

Yes aces are marginally weaker, but most other teams look a lot weaker.

Coventry have a strong top 2, an average 3rd hl, but the weakest bottom 3 in the league.

Poole still have to be favorites.

I still think Brady may be a weak link and changes may have to be made during the season, our strength will be our reserves.

Brady will no doubt get some time at reserve to boost his confidence, I would have no concerns there. If there is to be a change I can only see it being replacing watt with a stronger hl, and that would make u almost unbeatable over two legs.

On balance I think Belle Vue are as strong as last season. Boxall is a better rider than Nielsen and will score as many points more than Stefan as Richie may score less than Josh. Add to that the likely improvement from Cook and Fricke and they could even be stronger.

Just remember that titles aren't won on paper but on the track

I don't think I said anything about winning titles and we all know that some teams perform above expectations and some below. It's too early to form an opinion about who will finish where in the league until all of the teams are known.

I agree Boxall is stronger than Nelson but don't think Richie Worrall will score as many as Grajczonek but as Belle Vue were a top 4 team in 2015, that stands them in good stead for 2016. For example another top 4 team Coventry seem a lot weaker for 2016!

How long shall we give Boxall before he bails out? Mid April I reckon.
