Najjer 2,890 Posted December 7, 2017 Would wonder where Somerset get there money from if they can get all 4 of those riders, as the won't come cheap! Have you any idea on the background of the Somerset promotion? Serious question, out of curiousity. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelDan 203 Posted December 7, 2017 If there is no TV revenue ( or limited ) then I can see a cost effective team being assembled and you cant really blame the promotion for that -you have to spend what you can afford. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very true. People say Matt Ford has a lot of money but he never gives a rider more than he thinks they are worth. If all clubs did that then hopefully we wont have teams in financial problems.

hyderd 1,216 Posted December 7, 2017 Holder holder and Doyle. Add Lambert to that possibly to you can probably add J Allen also,If you are correct, may as well give them the trophies now as they will be left with 7.43 for the final 2 riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted December 7, 2017 there youve said it again !! Whats your point? He is well off but doesn't spend above his means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted December 7, 2017 Somerset wont be getting all of those riders anyway. Its just another rumour doing the rounds. there youve said it again !! Matt does have cash to spend but he is a sensible business man and wont pay over the odds for average riders. Piotr Pawlicki and Vaculik wouldn't of been cheap and Matt wanted them so he must have the financial backing otherwise we wouldn't of been interested in the first place.

Cliffeboy 577 Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Rebs going to buck with tradition this year and announce riders over a period of time. Got to be Wrighty and Jake for starters. Edited December 8, 2017 by Cliffeboy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who cares who Matt Ford wants and what he has to spend as this isn't a Poole thread it's a Somerset thread. Whoever we get will be a cost effective team for whichever budget we have (with or without the TV deal). What the team will be is an exciting one and one or two surprises, May is a fantastic team manager and has never let us down since being in charge. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,636 Posted December 8, 2017 Just think if Poole and Somerset operated entirely in isolation?! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted December 8, 2017 1. ? 2. Jake Allen 5.07 3. Charles Wright 6.69 4. Richard Lawson 6.43 5. Robert Lambert 7.38 6. Bradley Wilson Dean 4.67 7. ? 12.26 left for a no. 1 and a reserve, decent middle order and better top end than last season. BWD has plenty of improvement in him and Jake was a lot better whilst doubling up with Scunthorpe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
