I think this is going to be the best year in recent times. Good riders, good teams and 1 Morris in charge. I actually have hope that speedway over here is going forward for once. I don't think anyone will be well adrift at the bottom, which would make for a more exciting league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 As most have stated Belle Vue + Sheffield look very strong. Ipswich with the Emil and Doyle pairing will be competitive and no doubt will get plenty of Eurosport coverage. The rest of the teams look pretty even and should keep the league competitive. Leicester look pretty solid, especially if Fricke can make a contribution as an out and #1. Wolves despite the home track advantage and Peterborough Panthers look weakest. Panthers took ages to get the team finalised + just not convinced. Pedersen + Iversen back from injury. Andersen struggled last season although Basso is on the upward curve just don't think they will challenge for play-offs. Stars look ok but can see them having some horror meetings away from Norfolk. Hopefully though we will get a decent season of speedway with tracks allowing riders to race and entertain.

I'm sure Leicester didn't move up with the aim to finish bottom, nor will their opponents make it easy for them to encourage them to remain in the league. I'm sure the Leicester riders & promotion won't agree with any predictions putting them bottom, tbh I don't think there's a lot between the teams - but someone has to finish bottom!

All I mean is that the fans were split on the move back up to them the prem so we need us in the play off challenging team for it to work out or we have some disgruntled fans. That's all. Nothing wrong with your prediction by the way. Edited March 27, 2023 by FishersGate Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I may have got Lynn wrong, but was one of very few to predict Wolves to make the play-offs. Then started to doubt myself when everyone said they would finish bottom. After their first two home matches, perhaps I should have had faith in my original prediction lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Wolves, getting the bonus point should mostly be within their grasp most weeks... When the track gets drier during the warmer weather, and consistent every week during the "peak season" for racing volume, the Aces seem to kick on and deliver larger victory margins... They certainly wont be unhappy with no play offs in October this year I would think as when the track is colder and more damp the scores are often closer.. For me, they do appear one heat leader light and, given the 'number sixes' this year at most tracks, dont look like having any advantage by always having one of their "four second strings" in their tesm at reserve...

Belle Vue Sheffield Ipswich Leicester Kings Lynn Wolverhampton Peterborough All of you who predicted Wolves to be near the bottom must feel pretty stupid right now. I always thought it was a pretty decent team, now I know it is, the table doesn’t lie. Also said Ipswich weren’t as strong as everyone was making out, it takes more than 2 riders to make a good team, I was right on that also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fun to look back and see people write teams off before a wheel is turned. Always looked good enough for a top 4 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
