Not sure he is gonna get that tbh. Indeed less teams and six is too few but on paper at least the Prem looks far more competitive than the Champs thos year, big gulf between the top and bottom and you could guess four or five Play Off teams right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Pretty much between Sheffield and Peterborough and outside chance for Wolves. I'd say Champ more competitive, Brum didn't do too bad last night. Only lost by 10 away, so win first home meeting and get confidence going. So that leaves Newcastle, who I have a lot of sympathy for. I think there will be a big battle for 5th/6th between Plymouth, Oxford, Edinburgh and Berwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those last couple of spots should be keenly contested but there are going to be some massive home wins. I'd say BV once Zagar comes in, Ipswich with Doyle and Lynn with a strong reserve could all end up in the final against Sheffield if things go their way, it's very open.

I've heard from only one or two people but there is interest from a third party to get involved in british speedway that will help attract some riders back but the BSPL are not keen as this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PK actually comes and averages seven ish I think we'll be very competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like PK so hope he comes back over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) He was complaining last week that he didn't get selected for Gniezno (sp?) so must be fit to a degree? Not in their line up for today either. Dread to think who we'll end up with if he doesn't appear and Puk disappears.

Arch Stanton Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Not sure there’s many (if any) reliable heatleaders around. Belle Vue have struggled all winter to find one. This is where this new rule of not being able to make changes until 25% of league fixtures have been completed doesn’t work. If Lynn can only find a 5 pointer, are they supposed to struggle for a quarter of the season before they can make more changes? If PK doesn’t come, then Lynn might need to make a couple of changes to remain competitive. Edited April 17, 2022 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish SGP and SEC qualifier 14th April Kildemand seemed to do well in a decent field last Thursday.
