Couple of big ifs, but if Lambert can be convinced to do a season and the two danes want to stay, would go for something like this.

Lambert
Pickering
Klindt
Jakobsen
Basso
Nicholls
Thomas RS

I personally think Lambert could well stay with Belle Vue If he was to return to race in the UK for one reason Manchester Airport the ease of flying in and out of the UK - seem to remember Jason Crump saying similar when he was at Belle Vue

Lambert is like anyone else, he could be convinced to ride next season for the Stars, if he is offered enough money.

If Brady can get that side, we'd deffo be league winners material. 

A year away from BV would do Brennan good, suspect he'd drop to reserve, but decent reserve to have allowing for strong top 5 - with 3 genuine heat leaders

I think so. Brennen and Jakobson would swap from 6 to 2 in the riding order throughout the season, and both should do ok at 2 and great at 6. It won't happen though. I can't see Brennen going anywhere. If Lambert does ride these shores again, every team will want him on his average. Then who's going to pay the wage bill, it wouldn't be cheap. But we can dream ;)

That rules KL out then - a transfer fee or a season long lone fee for Lambert the most likely outcome. As I said if he rides in the UK Manchester is ideal to fly in and out of the UK .

And rhe circuit would be a big draw for him.

Wouldn't totally rule out a Lynn return but would say its unlikely.

Absolutely, Belle Vue is the place to be, unfortunately, every other club is 2nd rate. 

With Poland & GP's every modern rider's dream Belle Vue offers the best training opportunity.

No British rider with any ambition should be looking at trick tracks & those that are FTG's.

So Barry Briggs, umpteen times a champion, was wrong when asked why he signed for Wimbledon saying he needed to learn to ride the tracks he found difficult ?

Different times, British Speedway was the pinnacle of the sport. 1 off finals etc. 

Tight difficult tracks today get you nowhere if you want to reach the top. 

Zmarzlik, now 3x world champ is an absolute speed merchant, no trick track learning to be where he is. 

Any thought process pre 2000s is irrelevant

In the 1950's.

On deeper tracks with hugely different machinery characteristics...

When all the top riders in the world rode over here so you could benchmark yourself against them.. 

You could argue up to the early 00's it was worth prioritising over here given the worlds best still were in attendance in decent numbers..

Chalk and Cheese from today though....

Half the fun of travelling to away meetings was to see and experience a bigger /smaller track than the local track you attended every week

You can still do that at Wolverhampton...

Although "fun" isnt necessarily a word I would  use..:D
