As ever a team which will be strong at home but I fear that won't be enough. Swindon, Belle Vue and Sheffield really stand out for me. All those teams have good heat leaders and strong 2nd strings. Swindon and Belle Vue have the edge with better reserves. It's then a choice between wolves and Peterborough for the final spot imo. King's Lynn and Ipswich in a fight for the spoon. Will be a good league regardless and nice to see some names back who will put bums on seats. I think you’re over rating Swindon and under rating Peterborough! For me, Boro is the strongest team, with everyone having the potential to add a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree there is big potential but it’s only that, and I think the reason for it looking like potential is their age. Perhaps those averages are accurate given the stages of their careers? That said it’s a still a team which challenge for the play offs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said it’s a still a team which challenge for the play offs There certainly seems more potential at Peterborough than most other teams, experience means a lot but it is a shame they couldn't have drafted in some youngsters to learn from these guys. There should be at least one British under 21 rider in every team. Edited February 28, 2020 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have riders like Harris Andersen and Nicholls who have been on a downward trend for a while. I think this year its going to be very tight. I'm quietly conferdent for Ipswich. We will have a high scoring number 6 all season given an injury free season I feel Allen can up his average as hopefully can Heeps and Klint. As I said much will depend on crump if he is only scoring 6 and 7s each week we could be in trouble. Just keep the pressure of young Kemp let him enjoy his speedway and he could be fantastic at 7.

Poole have some Aussies but so do Swindon, the majority of riders in the Poole team are British though. Anyway not sure this is the right place for Poole or CL discussions .

Anyway not sure this is the right place for Poole or CL discussions . Yes, but you said every PL team should have an U21 Brit; and surely that should start in the CL, with teams like Poole setting an example rather than signing three 4 point Aussies?
