On the subject of refunds, I wonder if Matthew is minded to let season ticket holders in for free tonight as partial repayment for 1 x Cancelled 70th anniversary match and, 1 x Rye House match that failed to materialise. I guess, if he doesn’t, he could have a few creditors come the end of the season...

And on that note, PLEASE don't shoot the messengers!! My sister and I will be on the season ticket gate and no, we have no idea what Matt is doing tonight re season tickets, so please be be nice cause whatever he does it's not our fault lol

Just seen a tweet from Ned Payne which suggest Summers is now out for Somerset & Howarth comes in. I would say that strengthens Somerset (although I must admit I don't know his scores from this season at WR).

Howarth 7 from 4 rides in May, 3 from 4 rides in Sept.

BWD 5 from 5 rides in June, 5 from 4 completed rides in Aug.

Howarth hasn’t done great at Poole this season however I’d still say this strengthens the Rebels. Shame to hear about Summers being injured tho.

Let’s not forget the Garry May statement after the Somerset track doctoring episode, “Quote” - “Ah, this games all about Tactics” - “Unquote”. So, if he can’t doctor the track, perhaps he’s importing a few other “tactics”. Maybe we should hire in the F1 master tactician Toto Wolff for the evening!!!!

He started this season on 6.64 and is now on 5.16. He has had a poor season, losing 1.5 points from his average. 

His Championship average has also dropped from over 8 to under 7 this season

Just to clarify as one or two have already pointed out Howarth guests for BWD and its r/r for Summers (can't be the other way around as the averages don't work!), meaning that Howarth, Allen and Covatti can take the rides.

As for whether the season tickets are eligible for tonight - I doubt it as it clearly states that they are not valid for the play-offs.

There was an extra anniversary meeting Pirates v Yarmouth back in April and MF says in the paper today that if we don't get into the final then he is considering an extra meeting in mid/late October.

As for the Golden Heats rule - each team manager chooses 3 pairs of riders who race off in turn. If its still level after those 3 heats then its a 'sudden death' best pair v best pair until a clear result is reached.

Two questions.

1/ The anniversary meeting (which didn’t happen) was included in the price of the season ticket, so it would be a good gesture to throw in tonight’s meeting, don’t you think.

2/ As one Rye House meeting didn’t take place, it’s appears the cost of the season ticket has risen by stealth. Don’t you think?

The subject of the Poole v Yarmouth meeting was sold a discounted price on the night leaving season ticket holders out of pocket.
