top 4 in no particular order,  Swindon.....Poole.....Wolves.....Belle Vue.

5 to 6 in no particular order,  Peterborough.....Ipswich.

7th, only because as of yet we don't know their team, Kings Lynn.

Agree with everything hyderd, i would predict Wolves to be top though.

I think Peterborough is too strong  not to qualify for the play-offs.   Good riders, good track, big home advantage, what's  not to like about the Panthers. 

Can see the bookies odds against them being very good...

It is great how we all have different opinions and Peterborough have really had a go and have assembled a good side.For me Poole out of the four i picked need Kurtz/ Holder to step up and both are exciting talents and i expect them to do that.Peterborough away is where i believe they will be vulnerable also i am not totally convinced with there reserves away, both are experienced but other clubs have younger and maybe more hungrier reserves we shall see.

Lets hope the referees keep an eye on all the rolling starts with Cook and Andersen in the team!!!  Unless the new guidance to refs is to let all starts go unless the tapes are touched, in which case the Panthers will be virtually unbeatable at the Showground?!;)

All teams have Home advantage tbh, that's the nature of the sport ...

Indeed, and I don’t believe it’s so great in the top league. Also it won’t be there immediately with six riders who didn’t race for the club in 2018.

ummm,that's debatable, of the 7 clubs only 1 has a definite home advantage plus they have riders that can win them points on their travels.

Prem Lge 2018-  67 home wins, 15 away wins. Would suggest otherwise ....

Don't see Ipswich finishing anything other than last or one but last, but it's all about opinions. 

I don't either. Will be a good battle between the Witches and the Stars at the wrong end of the table. But the league isn't won in March/April. One clever signing can change things as we all know.

Not a real attractive product on offer this year and the strongest looking teams are a shadow of previous years but this is what we have as the.power of the few decide for the masses we need this so called top level instead of variety and affordable teams for all tracks to put on an attractive product for new and old and weekly racing and more opportunities for British riders to progress.

 

Any way not being biased I honestly see Wolverhampton looking the strongest at the moment with a top four all capable of big scores and potential growth in the other three.

 

Belle Vue look a bit off balance but much will depend on how Bjerre goes away and if Dan can get back from injury and thanks to Rybnik that looks a certainty.  In Lidsey they have a time bomb waiting to explode so they could be up there .

 

Poole will always be up there challenge for the top and have a solid line up with potential and Swindon look strong but very top heavy reliant and could be inconsistent.

 

Kings Lynn not impressed with and Ipswich look weak while Peterborough could be unbeatable at home but away maybe they will do well at NSS but not sure anywhere else.

 

Wolves, Swindon, Belle Vue and Poole clear top four and in the play offs where anything can happen then

Whatever would that result say about Buster?   Owning 3 teams out of 7 and not one in the top 4.  :rofl:

I think the Panthers will be his saviour, finishing in the top 4 ,     but who win the PO  is a sheer lottery.....
