Maybe the only reason was Kerr did well at Plymouth and has started the season off pretty well and something they will try out away from home as I see Cook reverting back to 5 at home.
I got my tickets am pleased to be going again the racing spoke for itself last year hope it carries on,does anyone know what the parking situation is going to be ?
So I reckon it will be 10.5% off Ablitt average with both discounts applying so he would start the season on a 4.46/4.47 average.
Meaning that he will start just below Lambert who has a 4.48 average I think.
I worked it out as 4.99 minus 2.5% they were the last figures I saw which means Lambert can’t be fitted in at 4.53 with reduction which would leave them over the limit.
Think that’s gotta be the aim can maybe see the new Dane maybe dropping his average with his away performances,o Troy Batchelor be the team man and fo the honours lol,as Perry in the 7 berth with 2years experience will give Workington a chance when going up against other no7 riders
My table Prediction will be
1.Poole
2.Oxford
3.Glasgow
4.Workington
5.Redcar
6.Plymouth
7.Berwick
8.Edinburgh
9.Scunthorpe
very hard to pick were 3-8 goes but I feel Glasgow and Workington top4 will get them through enough meetings to get them into play offs.
Looking at all the teams so far I must say it looks the most competitive championship in a while.
My team Poole look really good with Cairns and Rushen at reserve with decent top end if Lawson and Cook and solid enough with the middle order riders I feel both reserves and 2nd strings will all have 5-6pt averages come the end of the season and I feel Poole will be the team to beat again.
With regards to other teams
Oxford- look definate play off team and for me the main threat to Poole.
Regarding other play off teams I think it’s wide open for the other 2 spots every team looks decent enough.
Think Scunthorpe will be rock bottom awful looking team imo.
Thoughts….
Worrall won’t be there it’s going to be Ablitt and Lambert and then after that it will be a big wooden spoon awful looking team for me where’s the heat winners away from home Pickering aside.
