Fred5 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Had a few showers here in Swindon this lunch time, but will get down to this match to get my first fix of the season. Would very much like to see the Rebels put one over on Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Coming up for this. Result is immaterial as it’s first meeting of the season and one of the Poole riders is riding for Somerset. Hopefully some good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Been raining since 1 o’clock in Highbridge, hopefully it’s not a rain off for those attending but doesn’t look promising at the moment. If it goes ahead Poole should walk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 If I remember correctly the first meeting 20 years ago was also rained off. It's been snowing near Cheddar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Head Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 So we take 2 on this anniversary challenge and if I read the fixtures correctly Groubauer will be on the continent so presumably a guest will be used. Josh Bates is in pretty good nick and might be worth a punt. Being a Wednesday Busk Jakobsen will be needed in Denmark, but no fixture clash for Klindt. Assuming Covatti will be a Rebel then Poole will need two reserves. Paul Starke looks an obvious choice for one place and maybe try Kemp or Thomas in the other. Won’t be much in it for sure.

RebelDan Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I’ts unfortunate it’s on the same night as Barca vs Liverpool - stay at home night for me. I hope it’s a decent crowd for the club and the weather plays ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Starke and Jenkins in for Covatti and Busk Jakobsen. (Covatti rides for Somerset) Bates in for Groubauer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I know it was a challenge match but this just proves the gulf in class between the top 2 divisions. People who tried saying “they are basically the same now” couldn’t be any more wrong. If Poole had their usual reserves it looks like they would of hit 60 comfortably. What’s happened to the track again - in the week we had ‘great action’ which a few years ago wouldn’t of made the top 100 races in a season list, now from reading the updates if you move off the white line you go backwards?? Perhaps someone who was there could clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 This was supposed to be a celebration of 20 years of speedway at Somerset but the atmosphere was very flat, not a particularly good crowd either. Only Bates, Atkins and Rowe performed creditibly for the Rebs. Best race was Jenkins holding off Todd Kurtz in ht 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great if Gary May sticks with Atkins/ Rowe all season it will be worth it longterm.Workington showed that with young Bickley a bit of faith in someone works glad Kyle has started this year well onwards and upwards for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
