But similar teams in terms of construction. What do I know, I only saw two Championship fixtures last year! I'd say the complete opposite, Oxford have a far stronger top 2/3, Redcar stronger at second string & reserve Berwick weaker top 3 than either Oxford or Redcar, but have the strongest second strings, reserves between Redcar & Oxford.

Definitely not after the first set of averages (carrying Kent scores). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Mulford is a good signing on a 2.00 ave, think he has the ability to average 4.00, but still think he'd be at reserve all season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to support home grown talent but we had Nathan Ablitt last season and he scored more points for Belle Vue Colts last season than Milford and never won a race for Poole but with lower team building points limit he may win a race or two so could be a good signing or go for Nathan he has ridden all the tracks and would be a better bet going On league track experience.

Well if you think that I hope your spot on as keeping Jake at reserve will make a winning team so that means the riders at 2/3/4 have to hit a minimum of 6 points home & away all season which is a difficult ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulford averaged a point more than Ablitt in the NL last year and actually turned up at Armadale for their most important meting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,375 Posted December 8, 2022 The Shane’s article in the SS a couple of weeks ago is a bit confusing regarding his Speedway ambitions.More interested in Long Track and his injury sounds a nasty one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulford didn't start the season with BV as he was a late replacement for Parkinson Blackburn. Nathan started the season and missed the last meeting at Edinburgh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I can't see it 3.5 at most I don’t see him moving out of the reserves any time quickly but maybe move from 7 to 6 when Shanes drops to 7? Unless Redcar drop Shanes first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Oxfords top 3 is far stronger than Redcar's..... Masters is certainly the best of them but not sure Nicholls and Kerr are stronger than King and Wright 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
