Triple.H. Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 We are staying in Brean on the Friday night and getting a Taxi to and from the pairs ,is there a taxi firm that maybe advertise in the programme as if there is we would rather put the business there way.If not can a local, recommend a reliable firm, We're all city boys and don't fancy a long walk along country roads in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squibby Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 After yet another rain-off at the OTA tonight, I thought I'd post some good news ! The weather forecast on local TV tonight, for Somerset on Friday, is very good, so unless there is a dramatic late change, the PL Pairs should be on. Bring it on ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 If Somerset don't win it on their own track again they want shot .... Ah hold on anyone but Somerset for me Why is that then??????, in the seven years it has been held at the OTA , I think there have been seven different winners, does that not make it one of the best open meetings of the season. The thing about the OTA is that if riders are prepared to give it a go they have all got a chance and the best two on the night win, not just the two who might have extra knowledge of the track through home advantage. Screeny and Grieves(who hates the OTA) won it in 2010,in the wet,and nobody gave them a prayer at the start. Joe Screen was quite brilliant that night. It is normally a great curtain raiser before the main event in Cardiff. They deserve a bit of good weather down there this season aswell.

george.m Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 after seeing the form Cookie was in last week I have to agree screm Hard to disagree, however ... On Sunday Scotland 1314 pointed out the Cookie's team riding needed improving. Watching him he did exactly as Scott pointed out, when behind his partner he keeps the throttle full on and gets very close to his partner. Food for thought.

You could say the same about alot of riders nowadays though,the art of actual team riding seems to have deserted speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. it was only derek Sneddon though George I do understand what you mean though - bend two in one of the later heats on Sunday when they were miles ahead (perm one from 12 I think!) I have a photo where you couldnt get a sheet of paper between Sneddons rear wheel and Cookie's front one. He still missed though and they got the 5-1.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper1010 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Does anyone know what time the oak tree opens its gates. Also what time they start serving food in the club house or somewhere near by that is good to eat. We are planning on getting to the stadium earlier this year to avoid traffic.
