drew2 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Friday, July 8th. 6pm, I was told. Unlikely to be 6pm i think , maybe 7pm as that is the usual start time the council allow for this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 stop worrying , you will get the pairs. maybe even get fast tracked into the final as well. therefore only riding in one race ! or maybe belle vue will get it .now thats food for thought . Won't make much difference they would still throw it away in the final 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Won't make much difference they would still throw it away in the final Bit harsh imo, 50/50 decision two years ago, and a bike hitting the only bit of uneven track on the night which shot it into the fence, last year. Bad luck I would say , of which Somerset have had rather more than their fair share in important fixtures over the years . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad luck I would say , of which Somerset have had rather more than their fair share in important fixtures over the years . Harsh but I think correct, over exuberance to blame in both instances.

Ben91 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Assuming he stays at number 1. It will become a bigger problem if/when Tungate's average exceeds Josh's and we're stuck with R/R. If Tungate surpasses Josh it'll be because Josh's average has plummeted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was Bradys fault his bike picked up some grip and headed for the fence. As for the Morris/ Fricke incident the general consensus amongst the crowd that day was should have probably been all four back, and ruined a great meeting, never mind in the past now. Sorry don't buy the "over exuberance" slant, opinions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry don't buy the "over exuberance" slant, opinions though. Wow, steady on there Cliffeboy; don't bust a blood vessel. Only passing on my opinion. The way I saw it was Nick went for an ever decreasing space around Fricke and had to dump it when the space ran out. I bet Fricke didn't even know he was there. As for Brady he also went for it too hard, one bend earlier than Nick and as you point out got into a spot of bother. The thing about the pairs is that you don't have to win, just not come last. If only they had backed off a little, avoided falling, chances are they both would have picked off an opponent and not come last. If not it would have been great watching them try instead of watching them walking back to the pits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it was part Bradys nievity, he shouldn't have been where he was imo, and he's brought it on himself. But he will learn from that mistake and in the long run will make him a far better rider. Hopefully. Edited February 4, 2016 by Starman2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point though about backing off👍, not so sure about Fricke not aware he was there lol Edited February 4, 2016 by Cliffeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, - - - - If the dog hadn't stopped to sh*t he would have caught the rabbit !!! Rohan Tungate doubles up with Swindon. If the rules haven't changed this winter, Somerset Should have priority on fixtures... Just as well do a few extra miles and watch Swindon as well this year as 45% of Rebels team are doubling up for them and watch some decent speedway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
