Agree and disagree,yes I don`t think it is right to change a rider at this late stage just cos someone else is suddenly avaliable, however if the rider is Boxall,he ain`t exactly Mr.Loyalty is he? What goes around,comes around.

Your going to go to Plymouth rather than Somerset, who you going out with Miss World..............

I think you were fortunate to get Doyle last season, the Rebels wanted him but apparantly there was a snag over money,not sure though, and Jason found himself without a club,When Moose got injured the Rebels used Jason a couple of times and he was superb.The reason he went to Rye was probibly a case of nowhere else to go,it is well known that it isn`t one of his favourite venues,and the oppurtunity would not have arisen had Boxall not got "ahem injured".Doyle`s back as skipper this season so the chance of him ever going to Rye over Somerset is probibly a bit off the mark, and a Rye team with Doyle in it to be "favourites for the league" I suggest you look at the "2012 line ups" section of the BSF and think again.

Bunyan has developed a bit of a reputation for injuries of late,if he stays fit he could be a matchwinner.Nelson is a bit wild so the above could happen.......tricky.

I need to read posts better,still won`t be buying the prog though,it`s awful.I`ve noticed a lot of the local fans bring their own scorecard rather than puchase the prog.

I cannot believe they are now charging £3 for easily the worst programme in the league,it`s the one track I go to that I refuse to buy.

I agree the side looks very useful,however I`m not sure Heeps and Tungate will be quite the match winners you are hoping for.I believe they are both 17,very young at this level.As the season goes on I`m sure they will do ok. Doolan can be a bit hit and miss as can Risager, however Dak,Taylor and Mat are solid signings imo,keep those three fit and you will be there at the sharp end.

Sverre was great in his one season with Wembley,he went from reserve that nobody wanted ,to a heat leader.His best action was when he was riding with Bert Harkins, electric out of the traps he would head straight for the dirt outside,and then Bert would sneak up the inside, easy 5-1`s especially around the Empire Bowl.It was such a shame that Wembley folded after that 71 season,I reckon if they had kept that team together,they would have won things in 72, Harkins,Haarfeldt,Nordin (Class),Clarke,Jessup,Collins and Leonard.

Well that sort of gives us half a chance,if Sam was riding I think we would have had a chance of winning,thank you BSPA.

How and when can you use the reserve.

As a Rebels supporter I was quite surprised when Jordan elected to go to Rye.I think the idea was to try to improve his gating which was the downside to his form for us.I think the experiment hasn`t worked for him,I`ve seen him a few times at Rye,when he gates he`s ok ( like most people ),however when he doesn`t it is not an easy place to get by other people,and this was most definitely one of his strong points at the OTA, where he used to chase people down and get past.He could do a lost worse than to return to Somerset where I think he was very happy and successful.

Been away all day yesterday,just got on here to see how Sam did, what a wonderful effort by the young man,he has been superb for us all season,the only ever present in a team batterted by injuries.He follows Zorro om the honours board at the OTA for the PLRC.

I take on board what you are saying OT,but have you noticed that no one has given a definite reply,cos no one has a clue...bit sad really.

Early predictions Group 1 - Edinburgh winners.Runner up Leicester,or if Travis turns up Somerset,if Heffers rides definitely Somerset. Group 2 - Workington winners. Runner up Redcar. Winners - Workington.Runners up Redcar.

Managed it for the last three seasons.A lot of tracks have a curfew.

Well scratch the Diamonds,looks like no Lemo,looking very good for Sheffield now,but I have to say favourites have never won in the Pairs when it has been staged at the OTA.

Interesting pairings,can`t see much further than Sheffield or Newcastle for first place,with Redcar outsiders,Lyons goes very well at the OTA.It all depends on which Cory turns up for the Rebels,if he puts in a Coorrryy Gaaatheercole performance the Rebels could be in with a shout.I`ll be there,can`t wait.

Thanks Manchester Paul.

Can a scorecard be downloaded like they do for the GP`s ?

Well done to Chris,6th in the world and scored over 100 points.In the second half of the series he has come from nowhere to get himself into next years event,and plenty of excitement on the way.He has certainly brightened up my viewing of the GP`s.I didn`t think he had a prayer yesterday,but typical Chris he pulls out the big performance when required,and but for a small error in the final could have won off the least favoured gate.Easily my Elite League rider if the year,seems like a bl**dy nice bloke to boot aswell,rarely complains,and provided one of the moments of the year when he was run over by Bridger,getting up running back to the pits,and then beating Holder round Poole,great stuff.Well done mate.

So Chris can depend on your support for next season,it NEVER ceases to amaze me how much some of the general public love to slate our people when they do well.So what if he`s "dining out" on his GP win in 2007,I tell you what,were you there ? I was, and that night was possibly one of the best experiences in speedway ,me and the 40 odd thousand Brits went potty when he went pass Hancock on that final bend.One thing you will always get from Harris is guts and determination and a fair amount of courage,there is never a lost cause.I would love to see him do even better next season,which will probibly be no good again for certain people.

Shows the sad state of English speedway I`m afraid,at least the aussies will give you some great racing.

Well done the Brummies,the best team won on the day. Somerset finished as top qualifiers in the semi`s with 15 points with only three fit riders,and then managed to come third fielding a reserve three times,a great effort,well done everyone.

Just got in Kev,our boys done great,Parks was class and Sam thrilled everyone.Cory never really recovered from his first bend bash,and Ritchie just didn`t have enough pace for me, but never gave up.James came in for Cory and gave it a real go and picked up vital points.Met a couple of Rebels fans I didn`t know so we made a bit of noise.

Love it ,no one thinks the Rebels have a prayer,let`s see.
