What a 5 minutes that was…. 
 

Poole lose and Scott Nicholls announces his return for Plymouth next season. 

Yep all good, when you win the league and KO cup but lose the BSN by 2 points on aggregate let me know what a 5 minutes that was 😎

I would give Barker a miss next year

Really?

A rider that scored 18, 13, 12, 13, 11, 10 and 7 at home this season. 

For a rider on a 6.12 average next year I think it makes sense to keep him for his home scores even if his away scores were poor last year. 
 

if Plymouth can win all the home meetings and keep away meetings close that should be enough for that play off space.

From the rumoured 7 that is going to be at Plymouth next season I think they will be very hard to beat at home. 
 

lewy….. what’s your thoughts on Bowtell, I really like him but would you have him over Tobias Thomsen or Klima.

 

if you could only have 2 of those 3 ?

Not complaints if that was the case… 

 

so you recon something along the lines of potentially…

D Thompson 

A Bowtell

J Thompson

B Barker

S Nicholls

Klima

3 point reserve 

Not having Nicholls as number 1 will be crucial and I love the idea of a return for Dan, although I'd be shocked if that happened.

The only reason I'd bring back Joe is if he comes with Dan, I thought Joe was disappointing last year and the amount of times I saw him give the first bend was quite telling, still young enough to improve of course but he hasn't shown the improvement I'd hoped for.

I'd step away from Alfie personally, he's a top guy but he's reached his level imo. As a reserve, maybe but I'd look at other options.

Klima could be interesting, would be good to have another look at him.

I'd happily have Klindt back...Providing he can turn up.

So what?  Only one team can win a title -- real success is having an entertaining team providing excitement for fans, getting enough bums on seats to pay the bills.

You think that would be an entertaining team ?  I’m afraid most Fans want to see a title challenging side and this team will fall well short on that.

Plymouth finished 2nd from bottom, crowds increased very good meetings plenty to  enjoy, if we did well and won something that would be a bonus but you can still have a successful season without any tin.

This must be the only sport on planet earth where finishing second bottom of the table could be classed as “a successful season”.

Absolutely bonkers Speedway supporters.

So if Plymouth had stayed racing on a Tuesday, won the league with low crowds and went bust  would you  call that a successful season?

Most teams in the premiership football league call staying up or finishing in the top 4 a successful season.
