Been watching through them rose tinted glasses again, been very little passing at wimbored road for years, as good as cooper looks, he's not the best of gaters, so may struggle at Poole imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiCapp Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Plenty of good sides in the number 1 league in british speedway.Ā For me the Top 4 will be between Glasgow, Workington, Poole and Berwick where hopefully Workington do the business. Struggle to see Redcar Edinburgh & Scunthorpe not being the bottom 3.Ā Either way there will be some good racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a very competitive Championship this year.Oxford look the best on paper to me.The rest could be anywhere in the League although Scunny will need some changes.Monarchs and Workington (Cook dependant) look the dark horses.Should see some shocks .IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM I haven't really been following much of the championship throughout the winter but I've just caught up on the teams so here it goes... 1. Poole - Who else? No matter what anybody thinks of the side they always end up winning. Also the reserves could be the secret to their success this year. 2. Oxford - Brilliant top 5 3. Redcar - They just build decent sides every year. Really like the Edwards/Jenkins combo, just lacks some support for Wright 4. Glasgow - Unbelievable number 1 and 5. A few riders I've never heard of it in there but I'm sure they'll do well.Ā 5. Berwick - My wild card choice. Morris on that average is a steal and I feel they have 3 genuine heat leaders. Could be a dark horse 6. Edinburgh - A solid side, good strength in the middle but lacks a little spark for me. Feel they may struggle at reserve? 7. Scunthorpe - Not sure what to make of this side, best rider in the league with Pickering which should carry them most home meetings but apart from that I'm not sure where the big wins come from.Ā Ā 8. Workington - A fun team especially at home. I just don't trust Bach and Cook to have the consistency to deliverĀ 9. Plymouth - I actually think its a decent team but I think that every year and they always disappoint.Ā Would love it if they make the play offs but just cant imagine it.Ā Got to say I think all the teams assembled are pretty good. If i was a fan of any of those clubs Id be optimistic of a decent season. This is a really good league this year Ā 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really good league this year Ā Would broadly agree with that, I think the top four you have identified stand out clearly from the rest on on paper. Unless Poole are scuppered by injuries they should win it at a canter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnk Leon Flint will overtake Howarth average wise based on how he finished last year. Plymouth wont be bottom.

Flint definitely finished last season well,but he was riding at No4 all season,it will be harder if he has to ride at 3or 5 this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
