Somerset Bv Newcastle Double Header 28th Sept


Recommended Posts

Somerset will be against Newcastle in a double header Premier Trophy and League Play Off matches this Friday. The Somerset web site says start time is 7pm, but I thought they were not allowed to start before 7-30pm, assume council is now more flexible. Fortunately the local weather forecast for Friday is good. Anyone know what's wrong with the unofficial web site, the new topics does not work?

As far as I am aware, that has never been the case.

Could someone please check that I have got the admission prices correct for this meeting - or am I having one of my senior moments!

Admission for Adults is £23

Admission with rain off ticket (paid £14 last Weds) + £2 voucher is £14.

So basically I will be paying £28 with no discount for the voucher which is more than the £23 admission being offered .............or have I got it wrong?

Works for me Howard

 

Still not working for me, the red line where it should appear is blank, will try on another PC

 

Just tried it OT and its works OK

 

Can't make Friday will catch up with you the following week

 

After this Friday I will be missing until 19th October

 

Should have said it's the new thread bit on the white line that had vanished, have logged on via AOL instead of IE and it now works, very strange.

I remember when we had double header before, Mike Golding said could not start engines in pits before 7-15 and we started double header at 7-30.

No we didn't, we started the meeting at 7.00pm that night, with the engines being started in order to warm up at 6.30pm, which was, and still is, within the time permitted by our planning lease.

Hope both meetings are close hard fought matches between the best two teams in the Prem this season from start to finish.In my opinion Newcastle are the Champs, I have no great love of play offs for the title, the ridiculous nonsense between Poole and Coventry a couple of seasons back says it all. One other good thing about this season is that Somerset and Newcastle who had good sides destroyed by injuries last year have managed to get their rewards this time.I think whoever comes out top in this one will win and deserve it.

Should be the full 1 - 7 for the Rebels for these 2, At the match last wednesday it was said that they were hopeful Alex would be back well in time for the 28th. (I for one certainly hope he is back or we will seriously struggle to take a lead up to brough park for the return legs on sunday!)

 

1. Jason Doyle

2. Alex Davies

3. Jesper B Monberg

4. James Wright

5. Claus Vissing

6. Kyle Newman

7. Tom Perry

Smart move by the Diamonds to get both away legs done whilst Nedermark is still at reserve, whether by design or accident. I fear his contribution will give them the edge overall, but it should be close.

 

As for the weather. . . who knows? But whether it be dry or wet, it's sure to be breezy and chilly.

I think you are correct.

For the fan who went on the Wednesday, it will have cost £28 for 35 heats. £0.80/heat.

For the fan who only goes this Friday, £23 for 30 heats. £0.77/heat.

You could argue that it is worse still as really with the discount voucher the fan who went on Wednesday will have effectively paid £30 for 35 heats. £0.86/heat.

Debbie quoted that they had tried to set the admission prices as fairly as possible. I think that it is not fair to charge the fan who turned up on the rained off meeting more. How can that be fair?

All being equal, based on £0.77/heat, the charge should be £23/30 heats * 35 heats watched in total - £14 already paid - £2 loyalty discount, say £11.

That would be fair. That would be £0.77/heat for the fan turning up on Friday and £0.71/heat ((£14+£11)/35 heats) for the fan who turned up on the Wednesday and was rewarded with the discount voucher.

Once again my recollection of events are wrong, will mention it to my doctor next time I see him. Good job Statman is on hand to correct the daft old fogies
