Steve Shovlar Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Next Monday sees the BT cameras at the Oak Tree Arena for Somerset v Poole. After a close meeting at Poole, the return could be just as exciting and close as the two clubs fight for top spot. Will the Rebels bounce back after the shock defeat by Belle Vue, or will they lose three on the bounce ? Both teams will hopefully be at full strength. IMO it will be a close one which is hard to call. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) After coming home to see BV had turned them over, my first thought is that Poole should win this one. But as said, they will have had a rocket up their arris. Poole might get the backlash of that rocket. To tough to call for me. I'd be surprised if there's more than 4 points between the two though.

Grachan Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 If Poole win this, and it suddenly seems distinctly possible after they lost at home to Belle Vue, Somerset are suddenly having a few worrying looks over their shoulder. They'll have the worst home record apart from Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Never known a thread so quiet considering the meeting is tonight. Seems fans on both sides are worried about saying anything in case it comes back to bite them! Some drizzle/mizzle about this morning but I can’t see it being called off. Both teams at full strength. Somerset will be right up for this after last weeks defeat and will come out with all guns blazing. Poole are notoriously slow starters away and need to compete from the start rather than heat 5. I expect Somerset to have enough in the bag for a win and a point for Poole will be an acheivement. Heats 13 and 15 could give an 8 point swing to Somerset so we need all 7 riders scoring tonight. 48-42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Josh and Brady on it at the moment at the wrong time for us. One man show against BV last week, can’t have a repeat of that. Once again looking for an improvement from Lawson , double figure score is overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 None of us enjoy endless restarts but this ref is being far too lax, Kurtz clearly gained a big advantage in ht5, should have been pulled back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Kurtz got his comeuppance there, probably cost his team a chance of nicking any points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that but am wondering how much is due to the fact they are getting on with it, never seen riders up at tapes so soon after the previous race, except when the weather is threatening. The racing isn't great but there have been a couple of decent wheel to wheel duels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely I thought the racing was pretty good don't really notice how fast they get on with it as I do Suduko or candy crush between races. Each to their own I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
