BUT NOT if riders are missing because of double up/down or overseas. League fixtures, there should be a limit on missing riders. If say 3? riders are known to be unavailable then alternative dates should be arranged. P.S. that's 3 riders total not per team, the sport needs credibility. With Poole and Somerset wanting to run in the evening this isn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Poole coffers not what they once were, why would you give up possibly your biggest pay-day of the season for a testimonial? With Middlo's renowned rider connections a barren date would be far better date for the man himself. A top quality line-up (with some riders not U.K. based) would be reflected by a huge crowd.

CountyGround Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Very quiet on the Somerset front! anyone know of any news, what about any working parties to do some DIY like filling in the holes in the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Why does this always happen at a time when it will be so difficult to get a replacement. Tungate ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on averages and if he even fits, but I thought he was fairly settled with a Polish team too? Again my knowledge isn’t what it once was with who rides where and when. A real shame there is no BWD as he was the one of the few glimmers of light in this team and will put a huge dampener for many Somerset fans. Hopefully they manage to find someone suitable and not a duffer. I could see Stoneman being bombed out also for a couple of second strings.

Presumably as you say flights and costs etc. What about Bellego? Absolute mustard at the OTA, there is few better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman1 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Tungate?hasn’t he been burnt before? Don’t think he would be keen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Any rider coming in who didn't ride in CL last year would have a 1.6 x wouldn't they? based on PL average. Tungate would be on 10.54!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has a spot in Denmark. I wonder if a better choice might be getting rid of Stoneman and then using 10 points on 2 riders rather than having to find an 8 pointer. could go Greaves and Zach W if you can tempt him back.
