coomie 191 Posted November 25, 2015 Don't know what your moaning about it is only in recent years that clubs announced their teams before Christmas, sometimes they would announce one or two riders and the rest well after Christmas, as it is only about 8 weeks since the end on last season I don't think that's too long to wait for the new team announcement.when everyone else has named at least 2 and some have finished!

Willowman 212 Posted November 25, 2015 Why? Well it doesn't really matter when exactly teams announce their teams, e.g. it could be February, but if all other teams announce early as seems to have happened this year, then it somewhat frustrating that your own team don't. I always thought I was a patient man but the Rebels are trying me this year. Not too worried though but I just want to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,134 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Perhaps riders are wary of committing to Somerset in case they're dumped a few weeks before the season starts when some other guy becomes available Edited November 26, 2015 by Shads 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought I was a patient man but the Rebels are trying me this year. Not too worried though but I just want to know. But this is nothing new for the Rebels, for as long as I can remember this has been the case for us. I'd much rather this and make sure everything is 100% correct and avoid what has happened the last couple of years, Only a week and a bit left and we will know the 1-7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brooksy 120 Posted November 26, 2015 Well it doesn't really matter when exactly teams announce their teams, e.g. it could be February, but if all other teams announce early as seems to have happened this year, then it somewhat frustrating that your own team don't. I always thought I was a patient man but the Rebels are trying me this year. Not too worried though but I just want to know. But it's more fun to speculate what the line-up might be, and then adapt your predictions as riders are ruled out. Much more interesting than having your 1 to 7 named in early November - then all you can do is twiddle your thumbs 'til March. Now that would test my patience! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willowman 212 Posted November 26, 2015 your just being greedy, need to chill out, it's fairly obvious what your team will roughly look like because there will be no Kurtz... How can I be accused of being greedy. Other clubs supporters have been fed with at least three riders while we are starving on zero! From what we know neither Brady or Richie are back next year so I disagree with the "roughly" bit too. Knowing those two aren't back next year makes it less "obvious". Add our NL 3 pointer to the list and that makes roughly half a team change. The trouble with not having any announcements is that we are slowly getting to know by elimination unless the management have a big surprise for us. Yet again, by elimination we know the surprise(s) will likely be from a list of Holder, Howarth and Tungate for a heat leaders. We are uncertain about our no. 1 too! Actually after all my ranting I'm not too concerned as I have the faith that the management will put together another competitive team as they have for some years now. I'm just enjoying the banter. Fills in the wait for the new season. Roll on March. Oh and a Merry Christmas to all fellow speedway supporters too (as there is less than a month to the day to go).
