Somerset v Poole KO Cup Weds 2nd May 2018.


Recommended Posts

So both teams at full strength ie no changes despite new averages for some, so will Poole finally find some form or will it be another romp for the home team?

 

OR will the weather be the winner again.....?

I couldn't believe when I checked to see when the 2nd leg was... all the way at the end of June. I know these two fixtures were scheduled originally for Good Friday but another case of poor fixture scheduling harming British Speedway. It's certainly taken the edge off this one abit. 

Intrigued to see how many Poole fans travel up as they bought quite a few with them last year on both occasions, or I wonder if they've lost faith in this team already? 

Looking forward to it :)

I've just travelled down the M5 from 17 to 23,, lots of standing water and heavy rain, eased off at 23 but still raining. Rain from early evening onwards in Bristol so likely to be the same at the Oaktree Arena. Sky has brightened, weather forecast is an improving one so lets hope the track staff can work there magic during the day.

Why on earth would Poole fans have lost faith in our team? It’s the start of the season and the team needs a little time to bed in. No worries from me and I would have been there tonight but for the fact I am currently out of the UK until tomorrow.

Fans from other clubs better take the P now, because they won’t have that opportunity later in the season.

With former Rebels Grajczonek and Kurtz leading the line for Poole and Kildemand who has always scored well here, there is every chance Poole will be within a shout tonight, probably even favourites seen as it's now May and we have only had 1 home meeting.

Heavy rain currently, due to have cleared by lunchtime and dry throughout the afternoon and evening. Hopefully should make for perfect track conditions.

Poole are hot favourites for this one with Kurtz and Josh in the line up and the Poles should like the track. Lose this one and surely something needs to be done.

The best ever team assembled we were told..........................laughable

As I posted earlier, I agree with you about Poole being favourites. We've only had 1 home meeting 2 weeks ago with an afternoon practice before that meeting, after our press and practice was cancelled because of the weather. Can't see there being any chance of an afternoon practice today with the way the weather is.

Eh, that is not strickley true, Matt said this was POTENTIALLY, the best team since 0-14.  Now, please, if you want to mock our club, which clearly turns you on, get the facts right. Thank you..

Somerset are hot favourites if you are going by bookie odds

 

bet365 go 1/2 the Somerset win and 17/10 for Poole to win, and offer Poole a 4 point start in the handicap

Guess Gavan thinks he knows better than the bookies and will be chucking a ton on Poole.

Wish I was there, but just spent the day in Venice. What a beautiful place. Makes up for missing out on the speedway tonight.:lol:

Doyley beginning to show some good form now, Wrighty and Richard both had good first matches at the Ota the other week . Can only see Brady and Josh causing a problem tbh, Rebels by 10 for me. Hoping Jack can continue his good form from Monday as well. 

Should be at Rye Monday afternoon for my first match this season.
