Then I see them at 5 maybe depending on a certain NP even 4. KL haven't a hope in my eyes. It's far too predictable and will struggle for points away. As ever a team which will be strong at home but I fear that won't be enough. Swindon, Belle Vue and Sheffield really stand out for me. All those teams have good heat leaders and strong 2nd strings. Swindon and Belle Vue have the edge with better reserves. It's then a choice between wolves and Peterborough for the final spot imo. King's Lynn and Ipswich in a fight for the spoon. Will be a good league regardless and nice to see some names back who will put bums on seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Boro is the strongest team, with everyone having the potential to add a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree there is big potential but it’s only that, and I think the reason for it looking like potential is their age. Perhaps those averages are accurate given the stages of their careers? That said it’s a still a team which challenge for the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be at least one British under 21 rider in every team. Edited February 28, 2020 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have riders like Harris Andersen and Nicholls who have been on a downward trend for a while. I think this year its going to be very tight. I'm quietly conferdent for Ipswich. We will have a high scoring number 6 all season given an injury free season I feel Allen can up his average as hopefully can Heeps and Klint. As I said much will depend on crump if he is only scoring 6 and 7s each week we could be in trouble. Just keep the pressure of young Kemp let him enjoy his speedway and he could be fantastic at 7.

Poole have some Aussies but so do Swindon, the majority of riders in the Poole team are British though. Anyway not sure this is the right place for Poole or CL discussions .
