Cooks 7.59 Iversen 7.54 can't see Iversen doing a full season but will help out towards the end of the season. If we was in realistic chance of top four last season he would of been at lynn instead of Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the track being prepared slicker, is too. Some Stars riders need to improve big time away, and if Buster wants to stick with some of last seasons worst away scorers, he needs to prepare the AFA slicker, so it's more like away tracks. It seems a cheap option, as it will take time.We shall see. Wouldn't be surprised if one of Busters 2 teams will finish bottom.

mrss 691 Posted December 27, 2019 Is Hartel the surprise signing that Dale Allitt said would be in team? If it is , I am disappointed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted December 27, 2019 Once it was obvious there was going to be no big shake up of last seasons massively disappointing team then the expectation level should have been severely down graded. Another season of mediocrity ahead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another season of mediocrity ahead. Not necessarily, while I think Swindon and Belle Vue stand out as the best two sides I’d say the other two Play Off spots are up for grabs. Big question marks over Sheffield and Wolves and I expect our two East Anglian rivals to look 6th and 7th on paper (not that it necessarily means an awful lot). Lynn’s team will have three strong heat leaders and initially at least a good reserve and while the other three riders are a little underwhelming they should ensure lots of home wins. The key as always is points on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Scrutton 180 Posted December 27, 2019 As far as the teams riders so far announced by those signed both Swindon and Sheffield look they but both could have injuries as Peterborough and Kings Lynn did in 2019 I hope not but is possible so don't write anyone off yet If you remember Ipswich were forecast to finish joint bottom by some.

Bagpuss 10,762 Posted December 27, 2019 I think the idea that we would be signing a world beater (such as?) was a fantasy TBH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
