Somerset 2018


Recommended Posts

 

 

Chris Holder is 7.16. Albeit Josh would be no.1 at 7.34, but that wouldn't last long and Holder flew around Somerset this season. A bargain on that average. An opening pairing of the Holder's wouldn't be too bad if Jack isn't at Poole.

He'll either be at Poole or not in Britain at all imo.

Best thing for Somerset (& the rest of UK speedway) will be a Somerset 1 to 7 riding against an opposition 1 to 7 with no guest or R/R..........

 

The way speedway now is, it will only be possible with fixed race nights: Wednesdays & Thursdays...... NOT MONDAYS.

 

The U.K. middle tier would not race Wednesday or Thursday....... they would only use U.K. based riders.

 

Most supporters hate the double-up situation, this should be limited but riders would not be required in their 2 teams the same night!

It won't be Wednesdays as that'll mean fewer Danes available and there are not enough riders already - especially in an expanded Premiership!! It'll be Mondays/Thursdays - nailed on!!

Mondays would be perfect for Denmark, top riders then ride Poland Sunday, Denmark Monday, Sweden Tuesday.

 

Mondays for the U.K. would only be a quick fix but not the solution to the problem!

After the balls up with Jack originally I think it would be unlikely he would come to us, which is a shame. Really cant see Chris going anywhere else except Poole, although he may still be feeling a bit miffed about being left out this year in the first place. Have to say he would be just the ticket on that average if he did fancy us👍 Edited by Cliffeboy

Not according to Ray R who clearly doesn't like him.

Chris Holder has struggled for a few years now and I am not convinced that his current average is a bargain. I hope that he can regain the form he once had before his serious injuries, the affect of Darcy's accident and his personal issues but I'm not sure he will.

This a question about Chris Holder. I like Chris Holder, (not so sure about Jack).

And yes, he is a Poole legend and will be remembered as one.

 

But is he a Rider who Overachieved for 1 year.

 

or

 

Has underachieved for 5 ish years.

 

 

Basically i'm saying do all fans rate him to highly and is he just a top 10 rider not a top 5.

Chris is ok, he's had a lot of challenges in the last few years, I said when he joined us give him 4 years and he'l be would champ, did it in 5. i feel if he came back it would do him good. Jacks ok he just needs to grow up.

I guess it depends what league Glasgow are in next season regards Richard,this will dictate wether he is back at Somerset.

 

As a Glasgow asset i fully expect him to be at Glasgow next season but in what league is the question.

Do you honestly expect the Glasgow promotion to move up and lose lucrative gate money from meetings against the likes of Edinburgh, Berwick, Newcastle, Workington?

You're closest away track will be over 200 miles away

Josh G

Jake A

Charles W

A No 1

Plus 3 others

 

Wouldn't mind seeing any of the following ; Huckenbeck Heeps Kerr Lawson or BWD with whatever is left after the above.

 

Wouldn't have Paddy back or take either of the Holders

I could see Lawson back at Lakeside if as expected they step back up.

What average would Killer be? If as expected some riders give Sweden a miss next season (what's going on there anyway?) haven't seen the reports.

Well its 7.10 from 2015.

 

 

Sweden seems to be investing in younger riders because they are cheaper.

 

Woryna, Drabik etc

 

But Sweden is still stronger than the UK

The 2017 Hougaard has been an absolute shadow of the 2016 version so can understand Rebels fans being wary of wanting him back.

 

Could see Belle Vue being interested in him. Attractive average, well thought of by the management & enjoys the NSS track.
