What was the reason Bomber couldn’t sign for Somerset but it was ok to join Poole. Did I miss something, apologies if I did.

Good going that , I’ve been travelling down from Watford for 20 odd years , best I’ve managed is 3 hrs. Mind you always on a Friday if it’s speedway.

Beaten by a better side, no excuse required. Get over it.

Lawson needs to step up to the plate for sure tonight, he cost us big time Monday. He’s got the armband too. If the other Rebels are on usual form we should be ok. I can see Summers only getting three rides tonight, BWD and Jake are a different class at the OTA. It will be close especially if Bellego has a good one. 47-43 for me.

7 hours ago, Star Lady said:Be fair Haza there were four splendid laps of team riding by Robert Lambert, doubt his namesake would have got a point in that race without it. Got a bit annoyed at Pearson saying Woffy taught him how cos I remember Robert team riding quite often and have hardly been to Lynn for three years.
Apart from that I agree with you. Not sure how much it is to get in nowadays but must be £3 an overtake at least.
That would be when Robert jumped the start, and ferried his namesake around after getting to the first corner one bike length ahead of the Rebs two worst riders. I’m a Lambert fan btw. There was a bit of talk that he may have come to us pre season.

Would K. Bjerre have been available, not sure !

Great entertainment down at the OTA Friday with ex Rebel Charles Wright and regular guest Kyle Howarth coming out on top. The racing was keen fast and fair, and we had the bonus of the whole thing being done and dusted in under two hours. Well done to all involved in moving it along. Track was good which encouraged some fine racing and passing. MPT was great value as was Schlein, although I was disappointed with Nicholls and Harris. Chris in particular was miles behind just getting to the first corner. I was happy for Charles to win, his altercation with Gary is hopefully behind both of them, and you could see his joy at the end of the final. For me as always, great to see Ian , Dave , Bernard, Di, Anita and Mark although didn’t spot Aron, was you there !

Nasty bang up for our skipper yesterday at the GP. Certainly looked pretty horrific from our view point. Glad he’s not more badly hurt. Get well soon Jason, all the best to you and your family.

Rain forecast in Highbridge tonight , but worrying.
-
Another good result for the Rebels, is there a more improved rider in the Premier than Jack Holder?.
Still a long way to go but everyone’s favourite team to be bottom are currently comfortably top, a tremendous achievement. Well done everyone down at the OTA, looking forward to seeing my friends down there tonight at the Pairs.

Big miss no Covatti for the Rebs, been great for us so far. If Doyley and Jack are on it, this could be close.

Oh dear does this mean we will have to wait for an announcement from the powers that be .

46 minutes ago, stevebrum said: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.
Can anyone explain this please. If you are laid off how can anyone prevent you from then getting gainful employment elsewhere. Is this potentially illegal. Obviously average has to fit but I should imagine this has already been sorted. What a way to treat a former GB champ and last winner of our home GP. Certainly smacks of trickyness going on, makes me suck tbh.

I think that’s the highest position we have ever had in our short existence.

So thats the nearest track to me gone now, sad day . Somerset is always my team, but to far to travel now, enjoyed my trips to Rye . Hopefully they can come back next year in some form.

Ok sorry, best check next time.

On here, Rye thread.

Bellago been released by Swindon, goes good at our place.

Well done Somerset great victory over Poole. I think every team that has come to the OTA this season has fancied a win, no one has managed it yet even with the team still not right on it. Even more satisfying when we put in a performance like this away from home. Well done Doyley and the lads.
-
All regular Rebs need to be on it tomorrow, Covatti should be ok at 6, Lawson needs to improve or we could get stung in the engine room. Provided we start ok ( no 1-5 ‘s in heat 1 please) I think we will take the three points.

This is a shame , Wrighty always gives 100 % and is useful at our place. All I can think is that there must of been a pretty big difference of opinion for this to happen. Be interesting to see how this goes down with the OTA faithful. With Holder switching to 5 , I had high hopes for the Wright/Lawson partnership. Puts a lot of pressure on Lawson who himself needs to up his game at home. Vissing a strange choice for me, he did ok for us back in the day, hopefully he can recreate that form. As for Joonas, only seen him once, and he looked ok. I guessing Gary is hoping to see the Covatti of a few seasons back who enjoyed some good form at our place. Good luck to both departing riders , Joonas could do with a Championship berth to help bring him along, wouldn’t mind betting Charles will soon be snapped up as well.

There is a Spoons in Burnham by the sea front which is ok.

Glad Lawson has been moved from 5 to 4, had high hopes for him yesterday, and was disappointed. Im no expert but he didn’t seem to want it like the others. Maybe a drop in confidence is going on here, he needs to up his game especially at the OTA. Good luck to Jack , hopefully the No 5 jacket had not come too soon for him. Doyley looking like he is slowly getting back on it , so Rebels by 10 for me.

Ok so an average thing, fair enough.
