Thank you and good luck to Morten. I will miss defending his contribution to Baldy!! 😉

With Easter being later in 2017 (mid April) it is also more likely that the temperature is up to a pleasant level as well. Warm but overcast would be ideal to avoid the dreaded blue goove and dustbowl problems daytime meetings can throw up.

dont think its anything to do with Somerset being paricularly disliked.Most of those saying they want Sheff to win have said they actually think the Rebels will win and that it would be well deserved. IMO it just sticking up for the underdog and liking the idea of a shock.

Id say that perhaps its the EL that has to be giving certain assurances to any club moving up rather than the way round you have it. The EL needs new clubs much more than any club needs the EL......

I think Somerset will win it comfortably. Would be good if Sheffield win though just to see cliffeboy and aroundtheboards go into meltdown! 😈😈 (sorry fellas couldnt resist)

I think Somerset will win both legs. Away by 10+ and home by 20+

Already seems like it will be 3 times better than the first leg 😉 I think the Diamonds will spring a surprise...

still has a few more combinations to come up with before he matches the number Pboro actually used in 2016! 😉😉

who gave me a lift then - he looked like you and sounded like you ?? 😲

dont we all!! 😲😲

if shes any good and cones in on a 3 then we will take her

£10.23 ??

Sometimes you need to be a bit 'out there' to make an initial impact. The 'massif' tag did that for sure. If a name change is needed then perhaps could use something about making Foxhall a cauldron of noise..... Play on the Witches moniker a bit.

then no probs - although IMO the conversion is too lenient.Even worse so if the limit is reduced.A 6 point EL coming in at 8.4 is too low. I think it should be at least 9.

no - I dont think any non Brit should be able to double up

pardon? 👂👂

probably a good starting point if you are calling for a reduction whilst others dont want them. Meet somewhere in the middle and ends up 39/40.....

Only for first 3 years in PL - after that no.

then change the rules so the foreign riders cant come in on lower averages.....

None of those. There will be a final set produced to add in any post September cut off and October fixtures that count.

Most statements about the development seem to have been a big pile of 'soil' so far. (unfortunately)

Well its finally over and a couple of days on its sinking in. I dont think that we should let a disappointingly flat performance in the semi final over shadow a superb recovery of the season. I think its fair to say that the first few weeks of the season were poor all round. The results,the track,the entertainment and of course the atmosphere. Now it could all have spiralled into to a disasterous write off of a year with crowds down and the club at risk.(thats not just an over dramatic soundbite IMO) Instead we saw a remarkable resurgence across the board which rekindled not only the season but also the whole experience of Thursday night speedway at Foxhall. As fans we decided that whatever was happening on the track wecwould still have fun. We got together and had some fun,making noise and just doing something different. On track changes both in personell and prep saw the results stabilise and entertainment improve. They also showed the club were listening. Even then we would have settled for that and a mid table respectable finish. Few if any envisaged making a play off place. But as often is proved success breeds success and the harder you work the luckier you get. The 'massif' was born and despite some strange and puzzled looks from others in the stadium and from outside it expanded and took hold. The Presenter (top man Kevin) saw the oppotunity to build it further around the stadium joning us on the back straight and encouraging others. For the first time in 20 years (or seemed that long) we could hear the home straight! To then make the play offs really was a spectacular achievement. We may have won no trophies but I dont think its too much to say that we may have taken steps forward that are priceless in comparison to a few dented pots. 2016 has been great. Roll on 2017.

I would expect Gino to be under consideration. He got the required US champs qualification I believe.

Its all your fault Scotsman😉 - the (wagon) wheels literally and figuratively fell off last night. All the best with your ailments over the winter and to you and your family. See you next spring.

Have had the pleasure of Sue joining us in the back straight stand at Foxhall this year. Watching her juggle her phone for the updates,fill in a programme whilst eating a doughnut,drinking tea and banging a cow bell all at the same is a wonderful sight! As a man I couldnt possibly multi task like that. 👍👍👍
