Najjer 2,890 Posted September 6, 2016 Best thing Tungate has done this season was moving away from Foxhall . Don't think there is any Witches fans out there that don't think he's got the talent far from it, His move to the Oaktree has really seen him come on , think he must be nailed on for your rider of the season ? I wouldn't argue with that - He'd be my rider of the season no doubts about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drew2 251 Posted September 24, 2016 Good spot Yer Ropes. Brenda is a great sport. She sits/stands with several generations of her family. A great supporter of Somerset speedway. Yep there are a few of us although at 90 my grandmother rarely gets there now! She has never been short of a word or ten has my Auntie Brenda! Our whole family love speedway and to have the Oak Tree Arena open when it did was perfect as the 'older generations' (Brenda and my mum and dad) had started to drift away a bit. They are regulars every week now plus all help me out getting the golf day sorted each year for the club. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliffeboy 577 Posted October 31, 2016 Sounds good "Quadruple Winners" Somerset Rebels. I feel so happy that we finally got over the line last week ,I would have been gutted if we had lost out again. Well done Gary,Deb the team and all the supporters who turn up every week to follow the Rebels. I never thought I would see a more successful Rebels team than Doyleys 2013 chargers, but the 2016 vintage have done it. How good have we been all season ! and amazingly very few Somerset knockers this time ha ha. I never thought that when I was standing with a few Rebels at Rye in April watching the lads losing in a heat15 decider that it would be 22 matches before we would taste defeat again, incredible. The whole season has been fascinating to follow, all the twists and turns. The stand out match for me was the home match against Workington when after five heats we were ten points down, Josh took the b/w and won the race with Brad grabbing third, we went on to win by 20, an amazing 30 point turn around in 10 heats. I felt from that day if we could steer clear of injuries we had a chance. I`d like to thank Statman who always gives up his time to report on the update site so far away people like me get a flavour of what`s going on, and also Willowman, English Roundabout, Brummie Rebel, Womble 53 and of course my old mate Najjer and all the others who join in on the banter on here. Already looking forward to next season to see what Gary has fixed up for us, one thing for sure the racing will always be the best in the League. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
