Starman2006 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I haven't met any Somerset fans that have felt 'let down by inept promotion/management. Somerset fans are a knowledgeable and realistic bunch who realised that you cant just step up into the big league, splashing the cash here there and everywhere Sure it was a risk going with what was essentially a 'second tier' outfit, but let's face it, even the so called 'top teams' have weaknesses throughout their teams and it's not what the old Elite league was in any case. Inept/ management, count the trophies and quality of the racing in the last few years,, some are never satisfied...

Najjer Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Unless in the meantime another premiership club comes calling Well if the averages aren't changing until all teams have done 4H 4A..... on a 9+ average?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Well if the averages aren't changing until all teams have done 4H 4A..... on a 9+ average?? If he's stuck on a 9 point average then you will be right. No1 would take him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 If he's stuck on a 9 point average then you will be right. No1 would take himUnless someone signs him effective early June when the new averages come into force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Trouble is though once the averages drop to 42(do they?!) a side like Swindon may find it tight to fit someone like Rohan in even on a 5 with the anticipated high figures that our top 3 will have attained, sometimes there could be a case for signing a rider on an inflated average before the 4+4 although it may mean losing The Gap as well? Not as straightforward as first appears Edited May 22, 2017 by hagonshocker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as straightforward as first appearsIf your top 3 are averaging about 26.5 between them and the bottom 4 about 13, you should be fine to be able to upgrade one of them to Rohan. Haven't checked latest figures but those are roughly where the Tobins are sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresham Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 You think. Palm toft is a very good rider.. Better than Paddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 You think. Palm toft is a very good rider.. Im surprised more top flight teams haven't gone for MPT as he always seems to score well in the past. However he isn't in the same bracket as Paddy IMHO.

Paddy The Rebel Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 You think. Palm toft is a very good rider..Paddy is technically no1 with his scoring can't see mpt getting near those scores will be good for around 6pts a meeting.

Gresham Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm guessing he'll only be used at Leicester, Poole and Wolverhampton....Belle Vue maybe. Paddy hopefully will be back before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as straightforward as first appears The Robins averages for this season's rides are 38.5. Depending on what happens in Thursday's meeting, Tungate would be a shoe in but strong rumours he was going to Kings Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
