I think you must be dilussional if you think anybody will beat Poole to the league title at this stage of the game. For what it's worth I don't think we are going to be winning many trophies but I'm looking forward to some epic meetings at the Oak Tree with some of the top riders in the country visiting. I think we will take some beating at the OTA still, although may struggle at certain away tracks. Great news that we are away to Poole on good Friday, that's pencilled in the diary already. That is the big strong point with our side - that we will have a very handy reserve all season long.

Don't think many expected Holder, nor wanted him - He'd be there for a season and go back to Poole next year on a nice reduced average....

Hardly - It's basically the same team that romped to the double last year minus Wilson Dean and Wajknecht and replacing them with Hougaard and Graversen.

I don't think you need two strong reserves. 1 is all that's needed. I'm hoping it's Tungate, Heat leader and a weaker reserve personally.

Afraid not as I am already 'booked up' - so it'll be the Facebook/Twitter page for me!

Given how many seasons he has signed him up, I would say he has been very loyal but all good things have to come to an end eventually.

He was our number 1 when we won the league and finished top of our averages - Also rider of the year too

I think Tungate was probably the first name on the team sheet.

Sedgmen and Barker... Some of these suggestions are going worse aren't they?! Completely understand why Wilson-Dean is likely to be included but it almost makes it abit pointless to have two stronger reserves, if we could use the available points for an out and out no.1... That's a big IF on its own as there isn't exactly masses of options at no.1.

Fair enough, I wasn't there so didn't realise he spoke so highly of him

I did wonder whether Somerset would do the double header with Poole on Good Friday.

See the post below - plus isn't Batchelor still in the country and doesn't return to Australia?

Still wouldn't mind seeing that team plus Batchelor.

I'd agree with that. Damn right stupid, as it's relevant to just about any club or any rider who achieves an 8.00 average or more, so I'm failing to see the point of the first post.

Maybe he needs knocking down a peg or two, but he has the potential to be a top rider in this league whereas Gomolski is more likely to struggle away from home and on their top day he isn't as good as Batchelor.

Think I'd rather take Batchelor given a choice of him or Gomolski.

I'd agree with that - that's exactly what I would want to do! Plus, we're talking about some 4 years ago now, so time to let it go I think!

Yes we did - as Cliff has said, when he came back from injury we chose to keep on his injury replacement Jesper Monberg and Claus Vissing instead of him. So we released him. Can you blame him for wanting to get one over on us after we dumped him? As has been said, I think he's matured an awful lot since then anyway and really started to realise his potential that he shown in his first and second seasons for us.

I disagree.

That's a team I've got a lot of time for! How realistic is it, I'm not too sure. It hasn't been confirmed or denied that Josh isn't coming back has it? Admittedly it looks unlikely but stranger things have happened. With regards Masters, do you just mean that you boo him? Let's not forget that it was Somerset who sacked him when he was riding for us. I think the only person I can remember getting booed as an opposing rider is Ben Barker! Yep - for the exact reason you've just said. Far too injury prone and was pretty painful to watch last season on the tele.

I hope not....

I did wonder that myself - couldn't of got much further from that!

He hasn't exactly hid the fact in the past he hates the 7 hour journey on a Friday to Somerset... and to be fair, you can't blame him really!

At least you aren't still bitter about that 4 years later... JeeeeeeZ!!

Think you will have 1 right, 2 at a push. I wouldn't object to either Masters or Hougaard though. Nobody in their right mind would go anywhere near Holder, as his average will drop massively before returning to Poole next year.
