SomersetBlue Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 BWD is my guess mentioned he has a UK spot being announced soon so putting 2 and 2 together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Would wonder where Somerset get there money from if they can get all 4 of those riders, as the won't come cheap! Lets see, Chris Holder, career on a downward projectory since his nasty injury, also has a major attitude problem - can't see many wanting him, so if he wants to ride here he'll have to take whats offered. Jack Holder, major attitude problem (hence Matt Ford slagging him off, althought not by name, last season), thinks he's already Gods gift to speedway despite having achieved very little so far apart from tester of safety equipment as he ends up on his arse and in the fence a lot Jason Doyle - Most teams have obvious 8+ candidates, between Lynn and Somerset. Again, if he wants to ride here, the options are not great. But I'll admit Lynn seems more likely to me, especially if Lambert is off. In short, I'm really not seeing why either of the Holders are worth that much. I certainly wouldn't pay much for either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Which is understandable considering the product gets worse every year. Inevitable that there will be even less people willing to pay 17 or 18 quid in 2018! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 If we don't run next year I would have to consider returning to watch the Wolves but I'm not paying 17 or 18 pound , it would have to drop to at least 15 but realistically should be lower than that. Difficult for the promotors to drop it to that though. I think it could be a nomad season of travelling around and enjoying the day out but after travelling about the last few years and getting shafted by various excuses not sure I'd risk travelling too far especially without guaranteed weather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill94d Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 My money is on Doyley too. What a fairy tale. I'm going on 1st Feb to the OTA. I'll ask him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHayes Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 BWD confirming that he’s not back at Swindon on Facebook. So pretty much nails his return to the OTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelDan Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I’d question if Somerset have the finances to sign Doyle. Unless a huge sponsor comes along. I’d love to see him in Rebels colours, but I’d be really surprised if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
