Cliffeboy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well done Doyley,great performance considering he had a bad pile up at Sheffield the other week.Thats Somerset on the podium in all the main events this year,(Pairs, Fours and Individual),and still in with a shout for the title,not bad for a club that most people said would do crap this season.

BossMan Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 massive well done to Tai Woffinden, seems like he fully deserved it and 2009 will be another big year for the lad where he should go Elite full time to keep his progression going ! Tai has not made his mind up about next year and may not even ride in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr C Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Tai has not made his mind up about next year and may not even ride in the UK According to the local rag it looks like he wants to go elite next season - http://www.sportscunthorpe.co.uk/speedway/...cle.php?ID=3411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matousek Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 good match well done to wofinden, wanted rymel or niemenen to win tbh. Comptons night just summed his season up, it all went wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well after a few races gate and go it turned out pretty good, and I have really enjoyed today. Bunyan rode brilliantly and looks totally different to previously this year, fair play.. Loof was way out of his depth and no shock he withdrew.. Tai, well I doubted him at first but as we know with Tai that's a stupid thing to do and he came back in some style and deservedly won it, nice one .. Doyle - started slowly but overall a top nights work.. Compton had a decent first race and not a lot after.. Rymel was solid throughout and deserved his place in the final.. Lawson struggled as expected with all due respect as he never rides Sheffield well but finished off with a win, which btw was a job well done and no fluke.. King was in the mix but never really set the meeting alight.. Ostergaard I was very surprised at as I had him down as a finalist if not potential winner.. Nemo was class, deserved his spot in the final.. Lyons was my tip to win so if anyone wants this Wednesday's Lotto numbers, just drop me a pm not great.. Parker was a little unpredictable but a good nights work, hard to believe the time he's had out and for what reasons in all honesty.. Doolan I expected better of, real shock he didn't make at least the semi.. Karlsson was never really brilliant, as expected in fairness.. Barker was bloody brilliant, what a racer, great to see him riding like that.. and Havvy was, well to put it politely, crap, looks a shadow of his former self sadly. Tai Woffinden - PLRC 2008 - well done young man (although Sky commentary tomorrow will likely be annoying ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylinenhare5-1 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Question to the Monarchs fans. 21 point max, or PLRC? Well seeing as you are posting it at the Monarchs as a team - we'll take the Premier League title and Premier Trophy for starters Glad the midget had his day Edited September 21, 2008 by ylinenhare5-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanisnumber1 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 First and foremost what a great crowd there was today, it was absolutly packed everywhere you went especially on 3rd and 4th bends. Was a good meeting but not much passing of a good note which made it a bit disappointing and would have been a lot better if riders could have got round the outside. Well done to Tai on winning the meeting and looked way better after he changed his bike after 2 rides and had 4 straight wins. Bunyan was great value and was 0.1 outside track record in heat 1 and would have gone straight to final as was winning heat 17 before it was stopped and blew it in semi with 1st pick and chose gate 3!! Ostergaard, Doolan, Lyons and Compton which were my certs to be in top 6 were all poor and Compton blew it going for a gap round the outside of Parker and ran out of room.

paul84 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 To be fair Lawson was always going to be way out classed in that field of riders! monarchs a team of seconds strings from 1 to 7 that why they are going to win the league fair play. sounds like a good meeting. well done everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldscot Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting and well done to young Tai who was different class after his first two rides. a well deserved winner. Also well done to Jason Doyle, Adrian Rymel & Kauko who were all excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanisnumber1 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well done to Tai! What went wrong Kev???

cometsfan2k4 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just got back, super meeting once the track started to produce some good racing after first 8 heats or so we started to see some passing. The crowd was massive and had an atmosphere to match. Gutted for Kauko, for me was the best rider of the night and i'm not being biased there. His gating in his heats was some of the best ive seen him do. But well done Tai, fully deserved. But Sky tomorrow are gonna be extremely annoying lol.

spin king Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Well after looking forward to this meeting for weeks, this meeting reminded me of why I prefer team racing rather than individual meetings, I just don't enjoy them, and this was for all the hype not the best meeting, although it certainly did pick up after the interval. Some real surprises in this one, but Tai Woffenden came good at the right time, and Jason Doyle did very well after his pile up at Sheffield less than a 2 weeks ago, when he damaged his ribs. Here is how I saw the riders performances; (1) Jason Bunyan; 12 points 4th in the Semi Final Start like a steam train, and rode far better than when he cam to Sheffield with the IOW. (2) Henning Loof; 0 points, Pull out after one ride, not sure why, but this was a meeting that he was of his class. (3) Tai Woffenden; 12 points Winner, Started very slowly, but once he got into his stride show his class, I think that next season the Elite League beckons. (4) Jason Doyle; 11 points Runner Up, Went about his business quietly but very efficiently, gone way up in my estimation after what happen at Sheffield on his previous visit. (5)Andre Compton; 5 points, Won his first race, but after that not a lot, and I am sure that he will be very disappointed with his performance. a(6) Adrian Ryml; 12 points Third, Rode well again, bit fortunate Neimenen pack up in the final to claim his podium place, but I am sure that the Bandits fans will have been proud of him. (7) William Lawson; 3 points; I don't think that we are ever going to see the best of Wee Willy at Sheffield, although he did win his last race which proves he can win races at Sheffield. (8) Jason King 6 points, I think that the Diamonds fans might be a little disappointed with Jason's performance, but honestly he did let anyone down , and I think that he will be back for a tilt at the title. (9) Ulrich Ostergaard; 7 points; My tip for the title, but Ully was very disappointing tonight did not ride to his capabilities. (10) Kauko Neiminen; 11 points Fourth, start like a steam train, and liked good and fast all night, but his engine gave up on him, otherwise it would have been a podium position. (11) Jason Lyons 5 points; Excluded in his first race, and then not a great deal after that, never seemed to be able to get going. (12) Shane Parker; 10 points, I honestly thought he might struggle after missing most of the season with injury and illness, but rode really well, and olny just missed out on a semi final place. (13) Kevin Doolan 6 points; Another pre meeting favourite who failed to produce, just did not seemed to be able to get going. (14) Magnus Karlsson; 4 points, Did what I expected him to do, tried hard, but not quite good enough. (15) Ben Barker; 11 points Third in Semi Final; Rode well, but is there a rider who is dislike more than Ben in British Speedway, his name and the sight of him set the crowd in to constant booing, he sure has upset quite a few fans. (16) Gary Havelock; 3 points; Very very disappointing. On to the fans the Loudest has to be the Redcar and Workington fans, the most colourful the Brummie fans in their Red and Yellow, and the Redcar fans yet again in their wigs. Nice to meet up with Forum members again and for the first time. Met up again with Shadders Bandits 4 Ever Blue Jam and all the Brummie crew And Glasgow's legend Paulco (I wonder if he made that night shift at work) Meeting for the first time Bagpuss Tsunami and his wife and daughter Dracula Bandits 4 Life All totally genuine and nice people and a pleasure to meet. Edit yet again sorry missed off Colin Cook. Edited September 22, 2008 by spin king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youv'e achieved so much in such a short space of time. Keep it going you'll be world champ one day! Got to agree with you there June, after his first two rides, I wonder whether or not he had been hyped up to much, but then bang really showed everybody what he can do. I really think that us supporters are going to have to be content with watching him on Sky next season as I can only see that his next step is into the Elite League.

a61 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Wicked meeting Ben did some amazing overtakes but was too slow in the semi. Tai got better as the meeting went on and also did some fantastic overtakes, especially in the final. Made me very proud of the two Brits (well if Rune Holta is "Polish", Tai is definitely "British"...) Kauko was very fast and consistent, so I was sad to see his engine failure in the final. Overall a good meeting, better than I had expected. Edited September 21, 2008 by a61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
