Totally uninspiring filled with riders who are way past their best and falling. I’d much prefer to have a young up and coming rider in my team like Anders Rowe or Drew Kemp. Peterborough’s reserves will average more than both of those and for some that’s all that matters, but I’d personally prefer a young local lad making his way up the ladder than one who is looking to top up his pension fund for one more year. Hang around for the 2nd half and the saviour of speedway, the prem jnr league may just deliver that. There must be a whole host of eager local juniors ready to take to the track (because Louis said so) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted March 5, 2020 Reminds me of the Rye House team a few years ago - and that didn’t end too well. On paper looks good with room for improvement but these riders have lower averages for a reason. Having said that I thought The Ipswich team were gash at the start of last year and we all know how that ended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers99 434 Posted March 6, 2020 Ironic really, that the season we have created major issues for our BB holders, we create probably the oldest team on record. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People saying some of these are on bargain averages, but at this stage of their careers they’re going to be very inconsistent. Not sure about this team TBH. Wouldn’t be surprised if it made the play offs or had a stinker of a season. I’m on the fence. A team that more accurately reflects the age of its fanbase.
