It's a shame they didn't bring back the 'Golden Double Tac Sub' where riders could score double points, but had to work for it off 15 metres. Jason Doyle scoring a 21 point 6 ride maximum at Reading for Somerset in 2008 to send us through in the KO Cup is still one of my best memories of speedway when he came from last to first in heat 14.

How is that even relevant to the post quoted? You are literally obsessed with Stevebrum. It's an unhealthy addiction you have.

Let's hope so. He is superb at the OTA.

Somerset bound?

Partially right - but to have PIRATES POOLE on the new logo is not in line with the current brand no matter which way you look at it.

At least you've managed to get the POOLE and PIRATES part round the right way! The fact that the official logo reads PIRATES POOLE is a big mistake for branding purposes.

It's your main point of branding so I would say it is very important to get right.

Pathetic.

Somerset has a reasonably good logo.

What an awful new club crest/logo. It's like something from the 90s and must of taken all of 5 minutes to put together. Awful and bland design.

Lawson for Heeps and a 2 pointer at no.7 - not sure that fits but could be on the money if it does.

What I find even more unbelievable is that people actually get in a bad mood and get annoyed and frustrated at things wrote on a speedway forum. Jesus Christ!!

Not for me. One of those riders who does stupid or seems to go missing when you need him most. Great entertainment value usually though.

It amazes me people still keep banging on about the fixed race nights was to entice the top stars back.... No it wasn't! It was to solve the doubling up and riders missing every week nonsense!

It's happened before - We had Doyle, Morris and Grajczonek and ended up starting the following season with just Morris.

Lawson, Allen and Wright have to be the first 3 names on the team sheet.

For anybody out of the loop, why's Matt so against Jack Holder?

And loss others where mondays and wednesdays just don't suit them.

Unless I've missed it, no confirmation over home and away fixtures. I assume each team will ride home and away twice against each side. The one rider over 8.00 seems pointless but the rest seems promising - albeit trying to pluck them from a poorly worded statement missing lots of details. At least we know Josh Auty is getting a testimonial 🙄

A squad system of sorts is the way to go, or at least 2 riders doubling up to share one position in a team. At least it creates an association between riders and teams, not just any tom dick or harry turning up! I'm amazed this hasn't been operated for a number 1 also. You could have Nicki Pedersen and Greg Hancock (for arguments sake) sharing a no.1 berth. They only need to do half as many meetings like they want, the fans get a proper number 1, no guests and everyone is happy!

Anybody but Holder....

Interesting comment... Could be one of a few riders! Shane Parker was certainly near the top of the list! Which one was you referring to?

I wouldn't want him. Biggest whinger in speedway for many a year and has taken the mick out of British speedway far too much.

Hougaard has been very poor... not to mention injury prone. It's either that or he just couldn't be bothered for the tail end of the season.

It started full of promise, but like most things in speedway quickly turns into farce and an embarrassment. I haven't been since June due to the pathetic scheduling after that point. I still really support Somerset being in the top league, to drop back now would be a big fish in a small pond. But big changes are needed next year.
