spin king 1,923 Posted January 1, 2023 Very difficult to do while not all teams have been filled. But here goes. (1) Belle Vue (2) Sheffield (3) Wolves (4) Leicester (5) Peterborough (6) Kings Lynn (7) Ipswich But that can change depending who Ipswich and Peterborough bring in. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted January 1, 2023 1. Sheffield (Unbeatable at Home and should win the vast majority of away fixtures too imo) 2. Peterborough (Only if NKI, C. Holder & Tungate are in the 1-7, Nailed on for the wooden spoon if Andersen & Worrall are both in though, Not being biased but if the 1-5 contains Basso, Tungate, NKI & C. Holder then Peterborough will run riot at Home in 2023 much like Belle Vue did in 2022, Ben Cook is a very shrewd signing imo who will score very well on the big tracks imo) 3. Ipswich (This will raise a few eyebrows imo, If Doyle/Emil is the top two then that's great but the rest of the team will need to perform as well, Rew possibly in the 1-5 with no UK experience and coming off an injury, No power scoring reserve if Emil signs and King will have to recapture his old form by putting in solid shifts every week as the 3rd HL) 4. Belle Vue (I think they've made a mistake in letting Matej Zagar go tbh, Just my personal opinion I think they look a HL short next season compared to other teams) 5. Leicester (Surprising? I think the Lions team building has fallen off a cliff with the last couple of signings and I don't think they'll do much on the road next season unless Nick Morris drastically improves his away from, Dan Thompson failing to get a ride in the Championship isn't good for himself or Leicester imo, Justin Sedgmen isn't good enough to ride in the 1-5 and Jake Allen is a risky signing because he hasn't been good for the last couple of years in either league) 6. King's Lynn (Doesn't have the firepower to compete in the big Heats, KL is a team relying too heavily on the No.6 to clean up every week just to stay in meetings imo) 7. Wolverhampton (Risky side from top to bottom and they'll be found wanted next season imo, Masters may struggle at No.1 considering some of the Elite names being rumoured for British Speedway, How long will Rory take to settle in?, Can Douglas finally figure out Monmore?, Zach Cook has very limited experience on Premiership tracks so it's just one too many questions marks for me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted January 1, 2023 Don't think Emil will come so based on that Sheffield BV P'boro Wolves Lynn Ipswich Leicester However there are only fag papers between several sides so the liklihood of that being correct is remote! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at their 2022 results there is little to split Bellego and Ellis, so given that Bellego could end up a heat leadercat Ellis' expense I don't see how you can consider him to weak as a second string. Remember Bellego rides in the Polish Ekstraliga which is more than you can say for most Premiership heatleaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,824 Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) No idea on the supposed signing rumours just going by what has been mentioned on here, not that the majority look hopeful however. 1. Sheffield - head and shoulders on paper and can’t see many teams getting close. 2. Belle Vue - not as strong as the Tigers but still stronger than the rest. A ringer in Lidsey certainly helps. 3. Wolves - solid again but will need the likes of Becker or Douglas to really step up and one of the reserves. Dark horses. 4. Leicester - decent top end. 5. Ipswich - will Emil really sign? Can’t see it personally however looks a long tail. 6. Peterborough - let’s hope the supposed rumours are true otherwise another long season for the Panthers. 7. Kings Lynn - Any team with KK at the top end is likely to struggle. Solid side tho. They will all need to step up.
