moomin man 76 171 Posted November 10, 2016 After the false start of the previous 'Crawley Heathens' thread, I thought it better to start a new threat, to allow Heathens fans and others to discuss the forthcoming season. Amongst the apparent issues to consider are race night and how many available dates might be available at 'Monmore Wood,' the potential points limit for team building (I personally can't see it being lower than 40) and potential team lineups if clubs will be working to a 40 points limit.

MattJ81 51 Posted November 11, 2016 Rumour was that last season would be Max's last in the NL, although I guess that depends on how things go for him with team places in leagues higher up. Would certainly be a massive space to fill, but at least with us starting team building a little earlier this year we can get cracking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,065 Posted November 12, 2016 Max says in the Speedway Star he'd consider NL next year. With the current rules preventing Ash from DU then there's a bit of a gap at number 1. Williamson back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion, riders with bigger improvements in them required at second string. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted November 14, 2016 Dwyer was hitting over 5 for large parts of the past season & i think Bowtell will prosper at another track. Atkins is one of the top youngsters who seems to be a little under the radar at present. There will be teams with much longer tails than that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly wouldn't disagree about your thoughts regarding Atkins, but I'm not sure how much further improvement the likes of Dwyer, Bowtell and Basford have in them, as they have ridden at National League level for some time in obtaining the averages they have.
