Plenty of season left for them to all manipulate them back down. Would obviously be a benefit to the sport if they all stayed high and forced a spread of the better riders across the league BUT that won't happen and all will be available again next year around the 8 point mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back on topic, can't really make a prediction until we know whose guesting for Kennett? Wouldnt 'Bomber' be the obvious choice? If so, I think Plymouth can win 48-42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better to watch both at away meetings if u can get, seen Poole at Leicester & Oxford so far, both were very entertaining. The spread of heat leaders would also help club's like Newcastle & Birmingham who are on the end of most of the tonkings! There av been rules before where a team cud only av 2 riders over 8.50 or wotever the average was. If a club hasn't got the finance for a heat leader like Danny King then the BSPA should help finance the deal, it's their product as well which is on show. Never liked watching at Sheffield coz they used to batter teams! My first visit to the Pirate Ship should be against Berwick in May, Bomber likes Wimborne Road.

Not only big home wins at Poole, Ray. A lot of teams are built to win at home this season like Leicester and Berwick. Something Redcar want as well according to the podcast but everyone likes their track! Going to be more difficult than ever to get away wins this season.

That just show's that the rich get richer and poor get poorer no good for speedway as a whole ,still if it's true it that speedway may not run at Poole next season it won't affect us Edited April 29, 2022 by ray c 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
