Bojangles Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 So, most teams are starting to take shape. Who do we think is going to win, who will make the final and who will also challenge? I'll start. Oxford to win (not biased, honest), Workington runners-up, with Leicester and Mildenhall third and fourth. Berwick to finish bottom.

Think Edinburgh / The Acadamy or whatever or going to be the strugglers unless they manage to sign Clegg and two Australian newcomers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Not that bothered to be honest, just looking forward to watching good competitive racing and the riders enjoying and improving their racing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildenhall and leicester in the final maybe ???? and either team could nail it maybe,,,,, northside and kent possibly oxford 4th if they dont suffer to many injuries and a good few teams look like title winners on paper but lots of young riders with big excpectations placed on them so who knows which on paper champions will make the top two so as nostradamus would say lets watch it all unfold at meetings and enjoy a competitive season lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petecc Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Team that avoids long term injuries has a good chance of winning. Once all teams are in place there isn't going to be alot left as replacements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hard to look past Mildenhall and Oxford at present. I suspect Leicester will go a close 3rd. The rest will be scrapping out for the minor places although Worky could be the spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Edinburgh look odds-on favourites. Not a weakness in the team so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Personally think Workington look the strongest team by far. Leicester 2nd best marginally ahead of Oxford. Then Kent, Mildenhall, Berwick, Belle Vue & Edinburgh. This is based on signed riders as Belle Vue have 2 & Edinburgh 0, can't predict them any higher!

Barrow Boy 2 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 As it stands but with some teams still to complete it looks like Oxford are looking most likely to come out on top. They have 4 riders who are established front runners wheras such as Leicester who will certainly be up there again only have 2 but have perhaps riders who will improve. Will be interesting to see how things develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
