Marksman 536 Posted January 26, 2021 If Plymouth are to enter the Championship in 2021 their options for riders seem fairly limited apart from some of ex Rebels of 2020. Schlein? BWD? Anders Rowe? etc. Would of thought Ben Barker would be a candidate but was quickly snapped up by Newcastle. Adam Ellis and Rasmus Jensen are others I can think of but most of these options won't be cheap and 8+ averages. Seems to be a lack of 4,5,6 and 7 point riders available.

Are Ellis and Jensen not hog-tied due to Polish rules and therefore unavailable? What about Nick Agertoft or Nicklas Porsing or if he is over here with Peterborough how about Hans Andersen as No1? Brits would be Anders Rowe Alfie Bowtell and Nathan Stonman and if he can be tempted back over what about our very own Swedish Geordie Ludvig Lindgren? Just some ideas Regards THJ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I would have thought 'enry Atkins would be a strong contender for the rising star berth? Bowtell Could do a job but the big hitters are what's needed, can't help thinking BWD will be fixed up somewhere already and Roo Boy might want a few too many pennies?

lewy 2,326 Posted January 26, 2021 I would be surprised if Plymouth sign anyone from the defunct Somerset team. Ben barker would have been most obvious but he's already committed to Newcastle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mac101 1,201 Posted February 3, 2021 rumour is there trying to get crump but on a 12 point ave will take too many points up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted February 3, 2021 I would like them to join the league provided they can sign a competitive team..... a below par team would be a big mistake good luck in getting a suitable team 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted February 4, 2021 I've also heard simota mentioned. Whats that. A combined age of 100+ Will need a few young riders Atkins Bowtell 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
