Took the words right out my mouth. Just checked to see who we had on Friday and its speedway's least favourite team, Reserved. Has Paul Starke actually had any competitive home meetings yet for the Rebels. Whatever happened to having regular proper meetings every week and struggling to fit in rainoffs?

I hadn't even seen that until you posted that, I just assumed we had a league match this week but obviously not.

We've got nothing to say because we've had no action !!! Either the washing got wet or the candle blew out !!! But to be fair the bad weather has been sporadic and localised !!! Roll on halfway through the year !!! Which it nearly will be when we get another match !!!


By the time we have another match there will be weeds growing on the start line !!!

that will make it tricky for the home team ..... at least the riders will be able to do some proper gardening eh .

Very impressed with the early season form from the 2016 Rebels, long may it continue. A lot of the headlines have been about BWD and Jake and rightly so in their debut seasons, however the old boys Josh, Paul and Charlie have quietly been going about their business in an impressive manner. Josh only headed once in 10 away races, Charles improved so much he has been promoted to heat leader with Swindon ( could not believe how quick he was out of the traps at Rye ) and Paul also getting a top 5 outing for Leicester. If they continue to perform there is already the platform in place for the 2017 team. I know it is very early days but this team is already getting praise from posters on here, which is always nice , long may it continue, well done again Gary May and the team.

Already a good team and will improve even more as the season goes on. My new league title favourites.

Somerset just need to make sure in the next few weeks we win our home meetings. We have barely ridden at home it seems so tonight will be a big test with Ipswich in town.

We can claim Doyle for his cameo for us a few seasons back, before he was replaced by the superior rider that is Steve Boxall.

i have no problem with that claim as long as we can say peter kildeman was a gp winner and former workington rider .

Well, if you guys are claiming Kildemand and Woffinden as reps of PL sides, I will claim Jarek Hampel as Ipswich's rep.

 

What, injured you say, and missing the first part of the season? Perfect rep for the Witches then....

 

EDIT: meant to say how pleased I am with Romance's early season form for the Rebs. He was always going to go well at home as the OTA suits his riding style well, and it should help build his, sometimes fragile, confidence up and boost his form on his less favourite away circuits. A happy, confident Chewi is a very fast and stylish speedway rider. I've been very impressed with the way he handled the two meetings against his former club and the professional manner he has commented on social media. Well done Rohan, keep it going buddy.

i have just got to say that my post was made in jest . it was a follow up of a somerset fan who posted that somerset were reaching new heights with doyle doing the gp.s last year , even though doyle was not part of the rebels team . it was a bit of phishing on my behalf . now carl stonehewer is a different thing , riding for workington and being in the gp,s at the same time .

 

so it looks like most teams have connections with riders in the gp system at most clubs ..

 

as i said , just phishing . ,, must have the wrong bait on .lol.
