drew2 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Whichever set we face, neither team of pussy cats like the wet I think we have beaten them home and away, wet and dry this season anyway! Bring them on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Well done Somerset total team performance from 1 to 7 . Never allowed the Witches to get going in the meeting. A lot of stop start tonight didn't help . By far the best team to visit Foxhall this season. A lot of happy Somerset fans tonight and why not congratulations to all associated with Somerset speedway well deserved place in the final . As for the Witches well think we did well to get where we did consider where we sat in the table in July. Right now who's going to start the Ipswich 2017 thread .

JamesB Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well done Somerset. The better team and well deserved. The Witches never got going. No complaints, if you had offered me the play off semi final in early June, I would have bitten your hand off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well done to the Rebels. But what a way to go out! That was a mid May performance from the Witches. And a track to suit. Dusty after the parade. Where the water good. Smoothess it's been for ages and suited the fast starting Rebels. Covatti and Wright had a good battle in heat 3. Sarj great move in heat 6 to go in between the Rebels. Apart from that was there any passing? Oh well at least we not going EL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well done somerset. Well done to the track staff, couldn't make the track more suited to what rohan does best. Thanks to the rest of the massif for keeping me positive for the last few months, not sure that's gonna last much longer. Think I better sleep before my next post. Once again well done to the rebels riders, manager, promotion and good luck in the final. Enjoy another final rebels fans, you deserve it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 As expected, when the going gets tough; Ipswich falter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherborne Green Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well done Rebels. Best team in the league by far. Looking at a previous post from Gavin I could not believe he wants a Dorset boy from Puddletown in his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad night but not the right time to single out tonight. All the boys have been brilliant to this point and deserve huge credit for a great turnaround of the season. Its no disgrace to be beaten by this Somereset side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 The track was awful tonight in my opinion. No line out wide and we have Covatti and Barker who tried to find the dirt and got nowhere. King tried it to attack Wright and got passed by Starke. Listening to the chat in the pits all Rohan and the Somerset boys did was set up the bikes to be quick away then they just couldnt be caught.

TB1 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 No complaints about the result and the best team by far won. Whatever the league set up is we must keep the momentum rolling. There has been a buzz about the place since July and we must not forget how far we have come this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hmmmm, highly disappointing but hey we got alot further than I expected a couple of months ago. Credit to the Rebels, they certainly put one over on us and did a thoroughly professional job over the 2 legs. To summarise, Somerset were up for it big time. The Witches of recent weeks just didn't turn up on the night. The whole evening was ridiculously stop/start. The referee should have heavily clamped down on the jump starts from the off, for example, out of the first 5 heats, every one was a roller, the least blatant of all was heat 1 and it was the only one of them he pulled back. The track was nothing like it's been of late, was set up perfectly for the gating tarts of this world and the first sign of water all night was after ht11 when the tie was basically all over. The biggest night of the season for us and we didn't come to the party. Season over, roll on next year and hopefully the promised track changes will produce a better surface for the real racers of whatever team we put together.

crazysue Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well done Somerset, your team deserved that win, no complaints here, I really thought our season was over in July and that we would be done and dusted well before now, so to get to the semi was an amazing achievement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Beginning to run out of superlatives for this Rebels team, three away wins on the spin recently against Ipswich, Glasgow and Sheffield. My dislike of the rip offs defining the the title is well documented but I think if we can get over the line in the final, this Rebels team will go down as one of the finest ever. Keep the focus tonight lads and reward those marvellous fans and promotion with the League Cup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 As expected, when the going gets tough; Ipswich falter. Whereas Peterborough's performance in the play-offs has been.... wait a minute, where are they? I hope the Massif and the rest of the Ippo faithful aren't too downhearted by the result. Somerset are the best team in the league, and there's no shame losing to them. I didn't think you ever had a chance of pulling 16 points back on them (the nature of the Somerset team makes them extremely difficult to beat by that much), although I'm surprised that Somerset won the second leg. All the best Rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Not as surprised as some of us. They have been brilliant at home the last few months, but on the big night, too many riders and the track went missing. It was fun though getting that far, and hopefully a small group of us has changed the way speedway is watched at foxhall forever more.
