cyclone Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Out of interest has the Somerset 2014, one to seven as detailed in their press release, been formally approved by the appropriate authorities ? The appearance on the BSPA Official Website of a Somerset press release does not confirm that the Rebels declaration has been homologated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 So at the end of all of this you state that, the ruled have been changed, the were changed because it was Somerset who were the club involved, and had your club been offered him you would have been appalled and would have ranted on here that your particular club had become a favourite of the powers that be and had effectively broken the rules to accommodate him for you.I am not an expert on the rules of speedway ( who is ) but there must be some reason why he is on a three however obscure, what I do disagree with is your thinly veiled attack that it is something to do with Somerset being some sort of favoured team in high places and your ridiculous claim that had he been offered to your team you would have said no.according to their rules, they have broken them yes?? Don't you agree?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Oh dear some people have woke up on the wrong side of bed. Considering it is a so called "rubbish side", sure is a lot of sour grapes that we have rightfully obtained a rider with a great potential. (Other aussie riders have come in on a 3.00 before). All in all a good side not like last season but definitely good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blindman Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Who gives a toss, every other team could of signed him on a 3.00 ave but they didn't end off. Now get over it for god sake and move on, Somerset will be there or thereabouts but not guaranteed league winners. Good luck to Josh G, Alex, Kyle and Sam Masters with their new teams, I have not been to speedway for three years but may venture to Plymouth or Somerset on the odd occasion during the coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebaker Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Saw Brady win the Julie Lewis Memorial Trophy at Redcar last year. Said then the kid looks somehing special. Well done to Debbie Hancock and the rest of the Somerset Promotion for securing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all a good side not like last season but definitely good. It not about other Aussies coming in on a 3 before though. Where that has happened it has been within the rules as they havent previously ridden in Oz Championships or in other professional leagues. BK has and therefore shouldnt qualify. Its not really about how good or otherwise he is it is the fact that he clearly in the wrong category. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Who gives a toss, every other team could of signed him on a 3.00 ave but they didn't end off. No they couldn't, this is the point. Any other team would have read the rules, realised he was a 7 and probably decided not to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Don't know why everyone is moaning about Brady, we can only use him seven times in a match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Somerset are Poole in disguise. If there's a loophole to be found or a rule to be bent they'll find it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 This team has a 'strengthen up at first opportunity' about it. There will be a few riders available once new averages or injuries arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I am sure that this Somerset will be there or thereabouts when the honours are been handed out. But I don't think that it is as good as the side they had last season. There is no doubt that the top 3 has quality. And with Brady Kurtz on the average that he has come in on is an excellent signing. I am sure that I read somewhere that he is been tipped to be the next big thing to come out of Aussie. For me the question marks are with the other three, can Charles Wright cope with second string berth and the same goes for Todd Kurtz both have never really got past the been a good reserve position in a team, and I am not totally convinced that Paul Starke will good enough, I personally thought that they would have gone for Ollie Greenwood. But the one thing that Somerset have never been afraid to do is to change things around and they can be very ruthless, think back to 2012 Masters getting the chop and then last season Stefan Nielsen. Unlike last season where I had them out and out favourites I think that this team could do well but there is are no guarantees for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Charles Wright can handle it, not so sure about Todd Kurtz though.. and i must say, Olly Allan is a little bit of a risk, but, if, he stays injury free, he could be a trump card. But several in that team are being taken a chance on. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilali Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hope Kurtz is absolutely pants and Somerset have a woeful season. Cheats should not prosper but in speedway it seems if you cheat you achieve loads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wouldn't go that far, but there is a rabbit off IMO....time will tell. It's interesting that nobody can say why he is a 3 point rider... When normally people fall over themselves to put any wrongs right in speedway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orderly Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Could it be that Brady Kurtz was actually signed last season on a 3.00 average before he took part in any of the Aussie rounds would he then keep the average that he was signed on : confused.com : maybe Statman can confirm Emilali I do not know what team you support and to be honest I do not care but I am positive that most if not all team managers will test the rules to the limit if you wait a little while then I am sure that a full explanation will be forthcoming or the BSPA will reject the team declaration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Lynn are also going to sign Robert Lambert now but not use him. Then they will encourage him to take out a German licence (EU rules atc etc) He will do really well ,perhaps get a GP call up etc etc Then in a couple of years bring him in on a 3 - after all thats what they signed him on! Yeah that should work - after all there will have been a precedent set in Brady Kurtz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
