if jack wants to ride for somerset and Matt wants him at poole think it will come down to money and Matts got a lot deeper pockets than Debbie...

It's ok having deep pockets, but if you have short arms, it may cause problems :neutral:

i think matt ford said he wants jack back ... most somerset riders this year have moaned about the track from Doyley down to Wilson-Dean i think it will be a very different team next year ... not a happy team this season ...

A moaned about Somerset track STILL puts it @ number 2 as best in the Premiership, & like most other tracks early season it suffered from the supply of iffy shale & new track staff.

Riders have every right to moan about track,Somerset would have benefited from a good track also,why have a track that is different each week?? A rider has to earn his wage each week and doesn’t want a moto x track that’s unpredictable as Gary mays riding order each week, fast team is happy team

Doyle,Holder, BWD, Allen, Covatti plus 2 others who fit depending on the league structure/points limit.

I think we need another heat leader to replace Lawson, he’s been a good servant to the club but I think both parties would benefit from a change.

 

Holder senior...

As opposed to Wimborne Rd? Tbh the only tracks that come out this season with any credit is the NSS and Momore Green which is rarely a bad track.

I  Would like to see Chris Holder and Nicoli Busk Jacobsen in there

The Wright stuff.  Had to put this little video together to make up for how much I've missed the spectacle of Charles flying around the boards at the Oak Tree Arena since June. Enjoy! (with added soundtrack by another Charles Wright!)

Could we see Charles Wright back next season? With Doyle, Holder, Allen, NBJ, BWD and Covatti. If that fits. 

That would make a great team of racers, though not to totally discount a Holder / Bomber switch?

Interesting to read in the club's Facebook post today the quote from Garry May ... "and Bomber too, who I came very close to signing this season..."

Not for me, at this stage. Holder all the way.

No secret that GM tried to sign Bomber before Poole - BUT his average didn't fit within the points limit by 0.01 or something similar!!  The Rebels loss was Pirates gain - in so many ways.:party:

Assuming a top league and a 42.5 pts limit again - in fantasy fashion!

1. Doyle

2. BWD/Covatti

3. C Holder

4. C Wright

5. J Holder

6. J Allen

7.  3.33/3.85

or Bellego for C Holder and Covatti at reserve with Jake

Where would Somerset get the money to pay Doyle again and pay out to buy both Holders?;)
