  1. Not the best Somerset team I have seen. Got the proven number 1 in Josh G. Tungate needs to get some consistency with his racing maybe a change of club is what he needed. Will be interesting to see how well Jake Allen goes, seems to have done well down in Aussie. Be interesting to see how the Wright and Starke perform been given a platform to get themselves into the third heatleader role. I would be worried about the reserve pairing lacks a bit of experience and they could be in trouble there. Speaking from experience having 3 riders in your team on assessed averages is a massive gamble, but lets face it the Somerset Promotion are never afraid to make changes if necessary. Will be interesting to see how the season pans out for them over the seson after been one of the top teams in recent years.
  2. As Cilla said Surprise Surprise. Looking that way at the moment.
  3. Looks like Kyle Howarth not going to the Oak Tree, totally forgot about the new Aussie starting average of 5.
  4. Me to if he is on a 5 point average that will be some gamble. My guess the last three Josh G Rohan Tungate Adam Ellis.
  5. Shocked by that one I would imagine that he is on a 5 point average.
  6. Ha ha , usually Somerset come in with a surprise or two. To be honest I am looking to see if they have Kyle Howarth in their team. Cheers Old mate.
  7. They have done it that way for the last couple of seasons.
  8. Will the Somerset Promotion be posting their team on their FB page as they announce each rider?
  9. Friendly, he will only entertain a £2K bet.
  10. Was is the word you have to bear in mind with Gjedde. He is now 35 years old. The last three seasons his career reads. 2013 injured missed entire season 2014 6.49 average in DSL (Kenneth Hansen (2014) and Ulrich Ostergaard (2015) are the closest comparisons) 2015 retired. Not the most active or impressive riding career in the last 3 seasons. A half decent third heatleader/ 2nd string, but a number 1 averaging 9 points sorry I don't see it myself. Fortunately Plymouth have a couple of young riders in Holder and Newman who have the potential to go on a push hard for the number 1 slot at Plymouth.
  11. Surely Jake Allen will need to have finished in the top 4 of a State Championship to qualify for a visa to ride over.
  12. Please to see Ty has got the qualification for his visa. Have we made the right decision not waiting for the result and bringing Ty back to the club. That remains to be seen.
  13. Not bad line up for Plymouth so far, but does anyone know anything about Gjedde more recent form. What is his recent form. Where has he been riding for the last season. Looks to me that he has been pretty inactive since a bad crash in Denmark a few years ago.
  14. Rode Poland last season, so would imagine that he will be riding there this coming season.
  15. that would suggest that some of the big names mentioned by some of the Panthers fans is out of the equation.
  16. Probably a side swipe at the clubs who have select riders who have Premier League experience. Berwick; Liam Carr Plymouth; Ellis Perks Rye House; Ben Morley Peterborough; Tom Perry Sheffield; Nathan Greaves Workington; Matt Williamson.
  17. 7.56 actually, he finished up been Birmingham's number 1 rider, above Doyle, Harris and King.
  18. I make no secret in the fact that I personally would have waited to see what happened with Ty regarding the State Championships, but I can also understand the Promotion been wary of the fact that it could all blow up in their faces if he was to fail, last season they lost two riders to visa problems, and if Ty did happen to fail then could be faced with losing out other riders or taking a rider that would not be suitable.
