Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Bank holiday Monday at 12.30 pm. The big one. Huge crowd expected. Another titanic battle likely. Pirates back to full strength with the return of Klindt and Jakobsen. Somerset also at full strength and expecting to arrive and win. Should be a really close one which is hard to call. Somerset only having ridden here recently. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think my biggest wish/hope at the moment is that there are no transport issues or delays from Poland or wherever from the Sunday meetings which might affect riders from both teams! I gather some riders are due in to Luton at around 6 am.........!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest crowd of the season maybe? What would you guessimate the crowd was V Swindon yesterday. I think SS said it was big. Just wondered because the last TV meeting at your gaff looked like a big crowd to me but was reported as not so. Nice to see a packed grandstand on TV.

Track looked slick, but agree Steve, the crowd looked pretty big there. 2k + ?.. Good to see at any club these days. Hope with the tight league all the clubs get a few more on the gate in the run in.

The idea is for us to win the meeting, and make the play off's. This time of year it doesnt matter how you do it, as long as you win..

Thats the idea of the play off's, those involved should get bumper crowds leading up to the play off's, and in the play off's themselves. The play off's have been a good inovation and keeps the interest there, ok you are going to get clubs that will miss out. But if you had a straight league the league could be decided by the end of August, and that in this day and age would kill it stone dead, and then crowds would drop like a stone with nothing for clubs to race for, except points money..

Bald Bloke Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 13 hours ago, ray c said: if its a gate and go track i fancy somerset to beat us ? Not sure there Ray... Klindt is in fine form and will get around 8 from 4 if it's slick or not. Woryna must be good for 8 from 4, or 9-10 from 5 (might replace the other reserve in one) Brady 10 from 5 . That's a good start...Josh is going well, 7 from 4 .. It will be close. If Worrall can chip in 6-7 Poole will be ok. But it's speedway, who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's the idea Starry.. Every little helps. I do think that the team that finishes top should have more of an advantage than picking the team of their choice. Maybe the winner goes into the final, the next 2 fight it off over 2 legs with the team who finished 2nd gets pick of home or away first. Top 4 out of a tiny league is maybe a bit much. One league next season anyway I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Doyley and co will be pumped up for this i'm sure. A point would be enough to finish ahead of Swindon and Wolves would have to pick something up from Belle Vue, Somerset or Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the idea for all clubs is to finish top so they get the pick, but they still have to get through a semi albeit at home for the second leg, then they have the pick of legs in the final, thats how it should be. But nothing is a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Result not in doubt now with Somerset missing both reserves for this match.What was going to look like a good even match may turn into an easy home win.Looks like they will have to find a couple of guests from the Championship.This is tough luck on the Rebels.Sure SS will comment that when the guests are announced that this will in fact make the Rebels stronger Edit:Both Somerset riders injured,apologies Edited August 24, 2018 by tellboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
