A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 23, 2017 It sounds like we will have 2 riders and up to 5 guests riding for Somerset for this meeting. Twitter is stating Lawson, Hougaard and friends, it might have been better to have had a triple header on Monday and made a day of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted August 23, 2017 I gather Somerset asked Swindon for this to be re-arranged as 5 of their riders are missing. Swindon refused. Guess the reason for a free program is because you have to fill all the heats in yourself! Any reason to have a dig at the Robins & you do. Perhaps Somerset should have looked more carefully at the rider's race nights be before re-declaring. The cut-off date is approaching fast & you can not have any more unnecessary empty race nights. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple header, great, make a day of it, start at 2.30, 30 quid to get in, meet the riders, live music, free air horns, Adver, and prog, and as tric trac said free chips and curry sauce, I wonder if he/she has tried them?! I just hope the weather is ok. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Hougaard is missing Somerset's Wednesday and Friday meetings due to Danish commitments!! Will he come back over for Thursday? They might as well put a call out asking for 7 guests. Perhaps Rebs and Lions will use the same 7 riders on Monday. Triple header, great, make a day of it, start at 2.30, 30 quid to get in, meet the riders, live music, free air horns, Adver, and prog, and as tric trac said free chips and curry sauce, I wonder if he/she has tried them?!

Somerset asked for a date change due to no team available and Swindon refused point blank. Don't care one way or the other about either team, just saying what happened. Swindon had loads of available dates earlier this season and are now paniking to get them in before the cut off. Ridiculous planning.

dump that clutch 630 Posted August 23, 2017 Not a dig at Swindon just telling it as it is. Somerset asked for a date change due to no team available and Swindon refused point blank. Don't care one way or the other about either team, just saying what happened. Swindon had loads of available dates earlier this season and are now paniking to get them in before the cut off. Ridiculous planning. No it's not what it is... we didn't refuse point blank... and there's me thinking you've a good grasp on speedway matters.. showing yourself up for being a bit of a numpty IMO. Like it has been explained quite a few times on here, it was initially plugged in for Thursday only for it to be cancelled very quickly due to the lack of Somerset riders. Somerset then must have agreed to the reinstatement of this meeting due to the fact that they are chasing your title chasing team for 4th place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
