Hume, Mountain, Heeps, Starke in that order for me.

Absolutely, I appreciate that Guy Nicholls could fund it but I just can't see it happening personally, whatever somebody's wealth that would be an awful lot of money to part with for a sport like ours. If it does happen it would give Ipswich the air of the 1998 team and all the hidings they handed out.

If Ipswich can afford what Doyle and Emil would command then good luck to them but can't see it personally.

And also not being open to the possibility that others might be more in the know. Perhaps it might be lesson learned.

You can't beat a decent number 2.

Yep big seasons ahead for the Cooks, said it last year and they rose to the challenge. Both need to step up this year along with taking on Premiership berths, be interesting to see how they fare.

Alright for some

Die hards probably, and those who wish to wait until team is confirmed can do so and buy them then. Everyone's a winner.

I think its called living rent free in ones head.

Where elsewhere?

Absolutely, you will always get extremes. Balanced posters are the most preferable.

Posters who challenge the status quo and don't toe the club party line are refreshing on here IMO.

Worrall is good round most tracks, unfortunately at Premiership level he lacks any kind of consistency.

Absolutely agree, the best race tracks still have home advantage. Scunny another good example.

Absolutely, I think Oxford's season hinges on those two really. I kind of feel that Heeps is a busted flush but Jenkins looked good at times last year and hopefully he can kick on in 2023.

Assuming all remaining signings are as rumoured then I'd go Glasgow Poole Redcar Oxford Scunny Edinburgh Plymouth Berwick  Brum

Good luck to Jack, impressed me at Lynn last year before breaking his wrists and was doing OK at Oxford too.

Of course it's my opinion, that's why I posted it Scunny are dark horses for me.

The team to beat.

And all you've said is that it's a rumour about Pedersen.

I'm sure once the ownership is sorted the team will be announced.

I'm all for passion, there's not enough of it in British speedway but seventies style punch-ups and referee's box storming isn't my cup of tea and wouldn't work nowadays IMO, it was 'of its time'. I do agree with Haza though, I think American wrestling is the biggest load of tripe out there but its a show that people flock to and it fills huge arenas and stadiums. We need some of that somehow.

Absolutely, Complin is a risk too but much less so than someone brand new to the UK. You just get the feeling that he is bound to improve on 2022 having had a season back to bed in again and with better equipment and a lighter body to work with. His main attribute is his experience.

With all due respect to them both Newman and Roynon are past their best but you can imagine they would have plenty of joy against the other reserves named so far, at least initially.
