Oh well, having had a couple of hours to mull this news over and without wishing to appear too negative I'm afraid I'm totally underwhelmed. 

I am seriously hoping I'm wrong with what I'm about to say and I want to be eating humble pie but here goes. 

A 44 year old long retired 'has been' at No1 , albeit a previous 3 times world champion does not inspire me to believe we will be at all competitive this season. Even he isn't confident of what he's capable of now. 

Although it's great to see Drew signed up as a full Witch I'm not sure he's ready for the top league of British speedway, he struggled in the Championship last season, again I would love to be proved wrong. 

Last year I quite enjoyed the Witches being written off as wooden spooners  by everyone but this year I think I'm going to be agreeing with them. 

My enthusiasm for the coming season is seriously dented.

Gobsmacked to see Crump making a comeback. Didn’t see that one coming.

with Pedersen, Kildemand and now Crump now back in British Speedway it would appear anyone riding or retired is fair game.:o

 

And don’t forget, Wolves have enticed back Masters and Thorsell.   :)

Are you kidding?

Those two signings, for different reasons, should be incentives to go and support your club!

It’ll go one of two ways for me - crump will drop a couple of points and then drew will be exchanged for a 5.5 man and we’ll be stronger at the bottom, or he’ll show his class be a comfortable no.1 still and we’ll have a strong spearhead in him and nic who are both historically good gaters.

bit of a left field signing but either way I’m rather looking forward to the season
