Backless Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 These playoffs are a real winner. They seem to have generated massive crowds which was the only point wasn't it? Yeah, if only you had mentioned this time last year that the weather would decimate the whole season I'm sure they would have come up with an alternative. I suppose in 2009 you didn't bother with the Newcastle matches against Birmingham & Sheffield in the (non-league deciding) play offs - I suppose there were too many people enjoying themselves for you to feel comfortable.

Backless Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Problem, Arse? Repeatedly bleating about "true champions" and moaning about playoffs is going to achieve sod all. It's 2012, there's no black leathers, upright engines or monkey masks. What there is, is a big crowd (yes, even at Scunthorpe!), and a season decider Heat 15 - so, one thing there WILL be in 2013 is a play off structure (hopefully amended from this year).

topaz325 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well done to both teams, pity there is a loser in this tough match, hard lines Somerset to keep it very close til the last. Congrats Scunthorpe, the PL champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam74 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) So, not only do the Somerset Management/Promotion book two useless guests for the final in Hall and Kerr - they then put one of them out in Heat 15 in a championship winning race - in front of the likes of Davies and Vissing. Absolute ludicrous and a disgrace. I would be disgusted if I were one of the full time Rebels. Well done to Davies and Monberg who can hold their heads up high. Unlucky on Doyle who was simply sensational all year...James Wright no comment. And last of all, well done Scunthorpe who deserved the title after their first leg performance.

oldtimer Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) A great fighting display by the 5 Rebels but up against it with two passengers in Hall and Kerr and a Scunthorpe tactical, a rule that makes a mockery of the whole affair. Would it have been different if Wrighty kept still at the tapes? Somersets team managers May and Bishop made two blunders, the first was changing reserves in heat 11 at the Oak Tree and putting Kerr in against the Scunny tactical, and secondly putting Hall in heat 15 tonight. Alex Davies 8 points, Claus Vissing 7 points, so you put in Hall who had only scored 5, unbelievable. Would love to know the reason for this as it defies all common sense, and at the moment I feel very angry. . Well done Scunthorpe.

drew2 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well Done Scunny on the win tonight. Didn't think you would make it that close but you did! Thank you to the management, sponsors and promotion at Somerset for an enjoyable year in 2012. To Doyley, Alex, Jesper, Wrighty, Claus, Kyle, Tom, Craig Cook, Richard Hall,Lewis Kerr and any other guests who have donned the Rebels racejacket in 2012 thank you for your efforts and entertainment. Roll on 2013 when hopefully the Cases Rebels can go one better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Hall had not done a great deal on the night ,I'm sure supporters of Somerset would have liked to see one of their own giving it a go after riding for the club all season,Perhaps there was a good reason for the decision though, we will wait and see !

The worst decision that Somerset made was turning down Scunthorpe's request for no tactical rides to be used in the final. If they had agreed, then Somerset would be the League Champions !!
