Will be hilarious if and when we win the league then won’t it! remember it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish - like the reason we made the play offs in 2019.

I don’t get how Belle Vue are anywhere near a similar standard to the Robins tho so can’t agree they stand out at all. A top 3 of Doyle/Batchelor/Jensen is likely to be match winners against any other team and up against Kurtz/Kildemand/Wright it’s a no contest. It would need all 3 to have good seasons with much improved averages to even come close. In saying that there is great potential for improvement in all 3. As it stands they have no clear number one who will get big points and often. The lower end tho is the slightly improvement on the Robins. Ellis V Bewley could go either way. Pit Robins top 4 against the Aces top 4 it’s not even a contest again tho. So it’s the bottom 3 for both sides that will make the huge difference. On paper Worrall and Lidsey are head and shoulders clear of Stewart and Perks. Id say Rowe would beat Etheridge on every track bar the NSS. Etheridge needs to prove he isn’t a one track pony. Im not saying I don’t rate this Aces side btw before Aces fans start having a go. They just aren’t in the same league as the Robins on paper.

No different to last year with Ipswich, whilst virtually everyone still predicted them bottom prior to the start of the season. And we all know how that ended. All completed sides are a threat before the season starts. Some more than others.

I don’t see it that way because if all the riders we expect to improve do then those extra points will soon be gobbled up. However if we get off to a poor start there will be massive scope to bring in a big hitter assuming someone is expecting to come of course.

I can’t see any side yet to complete will be anywhere near the level of Swindon, miles ahead of the rest. I’ll have a stab at the rest when all teams are finalised.

So, no surprise that it’s Sam but I still think it’s barmy building to nearly 2 points under the limit. However on paper it’s not that bad a side with scope to improve for at least 6 of the riders.

So tomorrow we find out if it’s a surprise or not then!

We didn’t make the final. Could have, should have, would have. We made it and well earned. The point is that the original comment compared the Stars strength this season is similar to Wolves (if Masters is confirmed). The Wolves performed way better than the Stars.

But 6 of the 7 back who made the play offs with ease last season.

I didn’t say he had signed a contract for a team tho. Just that he likely knew exactly what the situation was either before he left for home or now.

We don’t know the full story from their comments however. Masters will know exactly where he stands, and as he isn’t a Wolves asset he can announce if he isn’t happy or not. So he clearly knows he is fixed up either at Wolves (highly likely or likely Peterborough) CVS said he would be happy to have 6 of the 7 back from last season. He also said that they have spoken to other top end riders. Its an assumption that it was either Masters or another rider. We don’t actually know who the top line rider was meant to be in place of. Just because Masters isn’t announced its being assumed he is 2nd best. That we don’t actually know.

Think Steve was mocking Geoff for getting things wrong. He hasn’t signed.

Would have been sorted before he went home in all probability.

Masters will know exactly where he stands. He will be back at Wolves or already have a team place elsewhere. Guaranteed.

You are always welcome on any thread FB. One of the decent Poole posters.

Don’t think Doolan is riding this year. Gave his Bandits place up for a job in the fire service I believe?

Plus I think with Eurosport showing matches helps too. One out and 2 in. It’s still stronger than 2019.

I agree our top flight has been at it it’s weakest in 2019 however the fact that big names like Pedersen And Kildemand are signed up for 2020 means next year will already be stronger. Can only hope more come back.

Masters won’t be left without a PL team spot tho, as Ippo, Lynn and Boro still have places to fill and you can be sure Masters, CVS and other clubs know what the situation is. However you look at it Masters will know he was 2nd choice because it’s been confirmed CVS spoke to Greg and Fred about the number one spot and I suspect others. Im sure Masters knows the plans for next season. In an interview in SS a few weeks ago he said he was hoping to have a top flight deal and hinted that nothing was confirmed so I think it’s clear he isn’t 1st choice which will either motivate him to do better or make him resent Wolves. Either way unless we get a major shock I too expect Masters to be re-signed.

I still think it’s a decent side, but could have been better by using the extra 2 points.

We must read different social media then. Dont get me wrong I still think it’s a decent side that’s been suggested if Masters signs however it’s plain crazy to waste 2 points in team building.

Has to be the worst number one signing in history in the UK top flight league. His press interview comes across as not being interested in the UK because it’s not enough money. That offer was probably more than he deserves anyway. Just who has been ‘raving’ about Wolves? I’ve not seen many positive posts about the proposed line up only howls of derision by potentially building to 2 points lower than the points limit. As for NP, I won’t be surprised if he ends up to averaged rider at end of the year. That’s what opinions are all about.

Interesting interview with Sam in the speedway star a few weeks ago saying he was hoping to have a PL club as he is giving up on Sweden. Seems like Sam was always the back up if we couldn’t tempt a number one. I’m assuming he will be the final announcement, unless of course the management have been bluffing all along. Time will tell I guess.

I’d imagine yes they are. Someone can’t let it go. I was so over it a week ago.

The reason he responded was because you asked for examples, it’s pretty simple. But then you wouldn’t get that would you. No surprise. I knew it wouldn’t be long before you showed your true colours. Reported as well. Only you could comment on someone posting all the time whilst doing the same. Thanks for outing yourself.
