Once we knew Poole were in on it we knew we’d never match their terms. He’s a good lad who will do well. Jacobsen has been on Poole's radar since the end of the 2016 season when he rode in Poole's Blue Riband. He was still doing his studies at that time and refused the opportunity of a place in 2017. He attended Poole's P&P in March this year (staying with Matt Ford)and was in the Anniversary meeting line-up (which was rained off). His studies have now finished and he contacted Poole (rather than BV and Somerset contacting him) for a team place. Edited July 2, 2018 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We obviously got duped by the same guy pretending to be Freddie as your official twitter admin.

Oops. “Pirates saw off competition for Jakobsen from both @TheAces and @casesrebels” 29/06/18 8.23pm I've never suggested that there wasn't competiton for his signature - just pleased that a young rider shows a bit of loyalty to the club who first invited him over after Bjarne Pedersen first recommended him to Matt Ford!!

idh 209 Posted July 5, 2018 I see the unfortunate happenings of Rye House has catapulted the Rebels to 2nd in the league. (only one fixture expunged from the table) Hope someone can rescue Rye in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,819 Posted July 6, 2018 Interesting comments from Chris Harris on Facebook this morning. Asked if he was coming to Somerset he said “I was, but It was stopped by the BSPA”. He also said there was no room at Wolves also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This smacks of the Management Committee trying to decide which of their buddies should be strengthened instead of the Rebels by refusing to approve what should be a straightforward signing of an unattached rider by an upstart little club wishing to (a) replace an overseas rider with an out-of-work Brit, and (b) continue to upset the 'old pals' mafia by continuing to outwit and outscore the 'establishment elite' 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
