Probably only one possible improver in that team and that's Atkins. Maybe 2 realistic Bowtell and Atkins I agree, ideally you would like riders based in this country.

If Plymouth opt to run on Tuesdays rather than Fridays then that offers a further alternative.

Plymouth 1 Bjarne Pedersen 11.06? 2 Hans Andersen 9.26? 3 Niklas Porsing 6.19? 4 Zdenek Simota 5.09 5 Nick Agertoft 4.00 6 Alfie Bowtell 3.02 7 Henry Atkins 2.** Total 38.62 + 2 Only the reserves look any value there and the engine room is shocking Agertoft? Really? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Taking everyone elses leavings is always tricky . Lets hope we get some speedway, plymouth get an ok team and get a solid base for the future in this division 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I remember hull being in a very similar situation having to take the remaining riders not employed. They ended up winning the league that season. So keep positive 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are positives too as the number of options to consider is fewer so less time deciding, riders out of work at present should be more grateful for the opportunity and not ask for silly sums otherwise they risk being left on the fringes for the the upcoming season. Its just a case of picking the decent gaters out of who is leftover and keeping fingers crossed for some home results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I think part of the criteria for Plymouth being accepted into the championship was they had to put together a competitive team, so they couldn't just go with a load of nl riders,it will be interesting to see how competitive we are once the season starts covid permitting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as planning goes I believe they are allowed to run Championship or NL any evening except Saturday finishing by 8.30pm except Friday which is 9.15pm or run on a bank holiday but finish by 6.30pm.

BobC Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 If Pitgate52 says its Tuesdays, thats what it will be. She is very much involved with the Management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
