I know its not done on paper but jesus compared to other clubs they look strong. Douglas, Morris, Howarth, Proctor and Bates is one hell of a top5. You forget that unless their 2 untried (in this league) reserves make vast improvements they will struggle. If they do not win that will be their problem to top heavy. Redcar look to have a very strong (if not the strongest) top 3 plus 2 decent second strings with great potential and a good balance at reserve. They are my tips for the top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.D 463 Posted May 9, 2021 Still Eastbourne for me Very strong and well balanced side but importantly this won't be the first season they have ridden together Team spirit and understanding both on and off track is a massive factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Bear 250 Posted May 9, 2021 I think that the following Four will be in the play off. LEICESTER Only weakness could be at reserve plus how long Josh Bates can stay fit REDCAR I think the only weakness is avoiding injuries, Allen for Riss is nearly even Anderson replaced at 2 by Rowe who was only 0.5 below him in 2019 EASTBOURNE Good And strong all round, if they avoid injury could be champions POOLE. Strong top end but not quite there IMO BOTTOM FOUR NEWCASTLE All depends on Wright & Roynon on their comebacks , can Barker stay fit & keep bikes going SCUNTHORPE A long tail KENT A few too many veterans PLYMOUTH Too long a tail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 10, 2021 36 minutes ago, Shrimmy said: Allen can do one for me Come on Shrimmy, what has Allen done bar changing his mind. Last summer he stopped in Britain, not earning a penny & no one knew how this pandemic would turn out. It has been Britain's mass vaccination programme that has put us in a better position than other countries in Europe. Germany, Italy & Poland are still having high levels of covid. We know over the past few years Rob has shown a lot of loyalty to his riders, sometimes too much, when we think changes should have been made & he has done the same again. The 2 news snippets at the end of Jan showed us how quick decisions are made. One minute we announce the same team then 4 days later, we have to announce Jake has changed his mind. Rob had probably got Josh Macdonald signed but not confirmed to the public well before Jake's change of mind, which is frustrating, but we have to abide by it & wish Jake & Josh all the best in 2021 & just get to see some racing at the EWR. The vaccination programme had started back in January but we did not know how it would evolve to give us the low levels of deaths & confirmed cases we have now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
