Shadders Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) It was a practice night not racing I believe? Unsure because I wasnt there chris.I've been going to p & p's for many years and have yet to see a rider deliberately try to overtake a team mate. They usually keep a decent distance, which is understandable. I do think BWD is a decent rider though. The OTA track should suit him Edited March 13, 2016 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this morning it sounds like he done most of his riding with Brady, Charles, was told he followed josh for 2 laps and josh couldn't get away from him I was there and I can confirm this. Bradley looked very sharp and in control, very polished riding, but as said laterally the proof will come when he's at the tapes inline with three others !!!

ZODIAK Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Zach Wajtknecht has signed for Lakeside as a club asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Zach Wajtknecht has signed for Lakeside as a club asset. So does this mean Somerset now have priority over him this season? Seeing as it would have been the Brummies before having held him as an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Will be the team he signed for first I'd imagine which was Brum I believe. Â Don't believe that is correct as, even if the Rider was 'owned' by a NL club, priority was by agreement and if no agreement could be reached then priority would rest with the higher priority meeting. Now that Zach is an asset of an EL club and is riding for a PL and a NL club, then PL fixtures will have priority. Â I don't believe that the Regulations provide any priority based on which club signs the Rider first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sure sign that the speedway season is close now that the Cheltenham Festival is in full swing. Â Not for me - I've got other commitments this week and then I'm away next week so I won't be at the OTA until the Rye House LC match!

womble53 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Good news coming from Jake Allen after tonight's nasty looking crash, which saw him taken to Weston-Super-Mare Hospital.

Reviresco Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 All gone very quiet on the Somerset Thread. Â Tonight's scheduled home meeting against Scunthorpe postponed due to a waterlogged track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroundtheboards Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Still waters run deep !!! It's been bone dry here in Burnham on Sea all day today and yesterday , a bit of rain both nights but nothing to shout about ! I wonder ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016  Also, checking the area over the last 24hrs has given drizzle or overcast. So track could have been prepared but early call off because of forecast!!!!!!!! or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew2 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Still waters run deep !!! It's been bone dry here in Burnham on Sea all day today and yesterday , a bit of rain both nights but nothing to shout about ! I wonder ! I work in Brean and we have two very heavy localised downpours in last two days on top of the deluge on Monday morning so can't say it has been that dry in the area! I drove home to Bridgwater and the roads became dry halfway home on Weds evening but BOS was virtually flooded at 6pm (Berrow Road, Oxford Street). Â The promotion can't win can they sometimes? An already very wet track, a poor forecast which was likely to affect people travelling too far meaning a low attendance and then a potential 60+ points pay out against Scunny does seem a big risk to me and its not my money! It costs them much less to call it off early rather I would think than have the situation like they did a few years ago vs Plymouth when a localised cloudburst over the OTA on an otherwise sunny day saw that meeting called off with a large crowd already in the stadium and the riders etc all present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) The local weather forecast for Edithmead today was for thunderstorms at 11am, noon, 3pm & 6pm, so with that and the storms earlier on in the week, it's no wonder the promotion made an early call to postpone the meeting. Better that than opening the gates with potential thunderstorms throughout the day, including one due just an hour and half before start time, then having to abandon it with all the riders having travelled from various parts of the UK, and a stadium full of people. Â I live further down the M5, and we have had really heavy and prolonged downpours all day, any of which would have prevented the meeting taking place, if they had happened at the OTA. Â I know for a fact that the Somerset promotion don't make decision like this lightly, and if they thought that the weather was going to improve, it would have been on.
