TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 We’ll win the league, then Poole, Redcar and Workington will finish in the remaining play-off spots. Harris will win the CLRC and Harris and Dan Thompson will win the Pairs. I imagine Plymouth will finish last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 So far Glasgow, Poole & Redcar look like almost certainties for the play-offs, everyone else fighting for 4th spot. But if one of the other clubs has a strong season, could be a big gap between 4th & 5th. Too early to place the rest till teams are completed.

ragdoll64 Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 (edited) Predictions are all very well…..but let’s not forget this is Speedway…..so much can happen in a season to upset the apple cart. On paper so far for me….looks like it’s between Glasgow, Poole and Redcar but good luck to all teams and may the inevitable injuries be mild.

PTW Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Can see Heeps and Knudsen leaving Oxford at somepoint in a double change to accommodate Nicholls and Jody Scott,that for me would put Oxford around the play off mark atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that certainly could happen, if the teams average shoots up, there's a chance that Nicholls & Scott for Heeps & Knudsen would no longer fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unlikely to fit within the points limit. As poorer scores drop off Masters, Jenkins and Killeen are likely to see their averages rise, and McDiarmid's can't go down. Therefore Oxford will be over 40 and there won't be enough headroom to make your suggested change unless it happens within the first month of the season.

TTT Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 (edited) 1. GLASGOW (Weak reserve pairing but the top 5 is brilliant, Expect Boughen to kick on riding at No.2 with Harris at No.1) 2. POOLE (Assuming they sign Cairns when eligible to ride) 3. REDCAR (Brilliant top 5 see's them comfortably finish in the top 4 imo) 4. OXFORD (Based on Nicholls signing once he's recovered from surgery) 5. WORKINGTON (Young team with lots of improvement in them imo) 6. SCUNTHORPE (Strong Home Form will see them finish in mid-table imo) 7. BERWICK (Schlein will be going through the motions and if the replacement is Nick Morris then he might take a while to get going) 8. EDINBURGH (Sedgmen and Castagna at No.1 & No.5 isn't going to cut it in 2025 imo) 9. PLYMOUTH (They won't pose a threat to anyone in 2025 no matter who the final signings are imo) Edited December 10 by TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaddlebowRoad Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 difficult to pinpoint particular positions until all teams are complete but it looks like a top three in no particular order of glasgow poole & Redcar ox scunny & worky scrapping for 4th berwick edinburgh and plymouth contesting the wooden spoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Redcar have the strongest top 3 in the league followed by Glasgow and then Poole Redcar though don’t have a heatleader who is going to improve …. Glasgow have Thompson and Poole possibly have Zach Cook Redcar and Glasgow have strengthened and Poole haven’t and are weaker only because they lost 2 top riders Therefore I’m going Glasgow and Redcar final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls 8.53 Scott 2.00 total 10.53 Heeps 6.37 Knudsen 4.97 total 11.34 would need a near 1pt drop in averages for that not to happen.

To make those 2 changes you'd have redeclare the team at 40 or under, it's more a case of will the other 5 push their averages up enough where it won't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's not a foregone conclusion that it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
