TheScotsman Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Surely the clerk of the course can tell the tractor man to gtf? Does he pull a grader round with him or is it just the tractor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Surely the clerk of the course can tell the tractor man to gtf? Does he pull a grader round with him or is it just the tractor? The ref has had to put the red lights on in the past to get him off i kid you not it is mental the laps he is allowed to do. The tractor he is on does not have the grader the smaller red one has that he just goes round packing the track FOR 30 LAPS or thereabouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Let's not get too carried away, Somerset won because of super guest Dan Bewley. ZW would've been lucky to score a point, Jake Allen would've probably scored what the guest did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Wonder where young Bewley will end up next year? Belle Vue will surely use him meaning no Friday night PL track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroundtheboards Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Everybody is overlooking the fact that BWD and CW amassed only two points between them, when you could probably put them down for a modest 12 normally but. . . . . what is normal in Speedway ???

I wonder and the Belle Vue promoter was in attendance today with Gordon Pairman not that i am implying anything .

Weeyin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Somerset were electric out of the gate and deserved the win, over two legs ,I can't see anyone beating the rebels tbh, however I sincerely believe that the rebels would not have won today without the guests, Dan Bewley was sensational and Zach would certainly not have scored 13 points, Jake may have got about 7 or 8 . Congratulations to the rebels it was an enjoyable meeting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has ZW ever had a good one for Somerset, especially away? Anyway, Lawson scored 6, which negates anything extra Wright would've scored.

Gazc Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Well, well, well. Money can't buy everything One meeting that is all it was we will be there at the business end off thing's but can we can beat Somerset over two legs doubtful but i have a sneaky feeling we shall bounce back so don't you worry yourself. I also have a feeling Newcastle will have a big say on who wins the play off's every possibility they can go on and win it themselves. Dan will be staying north of the boarder next season. But for which team Dave Gordon really enjoyed the hospitality at Glasgow today so i have been told .

Solidmango Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just reading Stewart's comments regarding the tractor grade after heat 10 admitting it killed all momentum why does someone not reel in the big guy in the green tractor then, it is the same every week he goes round continuously without a care in the world. And to top it off he punctures the air fence at bend 2 to compound his unwillingness to leave the track in the past the referee has had to insist he leaves as he seems to be oblivious to anything other than him. the time he is on track is not needed someone needs to have a word and have no more than 5 laps instead off the 20 - 30 he is usually doing. I've not read the article yet but the guy in the tractor always follows instructions from Stewart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've not read the article yet but the guy in the tractor always follows instructions from Stewart. Looks like he took it upon himself today then to decide how long he was out, it really needs to be toned down though seriously that would drive fan's new and old away week after week off tractor racing. You could hear the grumbles from the dis-believing fans after lap 20 today that should hopefully tell him something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow Stewarts comments or is this his way of admitting he got it wrong. he's a co-promoter, team manager and track curator. Theres no way the tractor driver ignored Stewart. Also what was the clerk of the course doing and referee? thought they were in charge of the meeting. That's two weeks now that its been over the top. rant over 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's two weeks now that its been over the top. rant over I'll be honest I was shocked to hear the tractor punctured the air fence and then I couldn't believe they were still going round after it was repaired. Surely there was sufficient time when it was being repaired to grade the track?! I also seen the security guy at the gate (who was the same guy that shouted up to Stewart last week to ask how many more laps the tractor should do - 5 was the answer that time) instruct both tractor drivers to do one more lap.
