hunch Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Can't blame Somerset management for not booking someone with a higher average than Hall, with such short notice they were lucky to get anyone. A question, if Hall blew two engines, was he on his own equipment in heat 15, I have never seen more than two bikes in the pits for each rider? Hall may have rode his socks off but I'm sure you are not saying Alex or Claus would not have done the same. One final point, in the last race of the season, when the championship was to be decided, it would have been nice, win or lose, to have had two Rebels in heat 15 who after all got us there in the first place. I have no idea if Claus or Davies would have done better..and frankly neither have you..i would say that when Davies gated he looked ok..when he didnt he didnt look likely to pass to some extent the same with Claus. Im sure the Somerset management made the decision in the absolute best intent..or are you suggesting they deliberately made the wrong choice? Gate positions were critical and someone had to go off three.my bet is that the riders discussed it and Hally was deemed the best option as a pass would be needed. Pretty sure Richard was on his own bike..certainly his colours anyway If Hally had made the pass would you be saying we should have had our own rider in Ht 15..he very nearly did! Anyway...a great final which went to the wire and very fine margins decided it in the end,which is just how it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffyscouse Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Stunning effort by both teams - Somerset riders and fans were a credit to their respective selves- Richard Hall gave absolutely everything - no-one else would have got lose to Auty n Morris- he so very nearly grabbed the Somerset points needed. Great for Scunny and all responsible and concerned - deserved it over the two legs AND the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 it feels great the scunny fan s praising rebels support, credit where it is due you could be in our faces about it but your not It might be easier for us though after the result but your fans were great throughout, I remember the guy who carries the flag actually thanking the Scunthorpe fans as he walked out of the stadium, I mean the guy must have been gutted but was so gracious in defeat.
