  1. Well let's be honest, Panthers won't win the league, they simply aren't strong enough. Maybe Lambert would have scored more (Barker scored 8 by the way) maybe he wouldn't. Who knows. Nevertheless, he is a decent signing that will give you 100%
  2. Happens to all Brum..even Poole had a rubbishe year a few years ago.
  3. Agreed. Ritchie said although he gets along ok with Barker, on track it's hard racing. Their first clash, Barker left him no room and Worrall was pretty cheesed off and refused the offer of a handshake after the race. However, in heat 15, Worrall did the same to Barker. As they made their way back to the pits, they did shake hands, but Ritchie said to him " that's one all now". Hard, tough, racing, but the type of racing that makes you return the next week.
  4. My logic is that having just returned from a serious back injury and scoring 7 points from 3 rides is not 'poor' at all. He also put himself about, mixing it with the Rebels top riders whilst doing so. It does make me smile that someone describes him as poor when he wasn't even there!
  5. How civilised to see a sensible debate between fans of rival clubs!! How rare too!!
  6. Typical comment from the geezer who thought Somerset was in Devon last season. Barker provided plenty of entertainment as usual. Two terrific tussles with Richie Worrall, and managing to enrage the Somerset faithful (as per usual) with his combative style of racing. Like him or not he is a 100% racer.
  7. What? Well KKS, not many people give much respect for cheap shots like that.
  8. Aha.... Plymouth looking the team to beat, on the cusp of the play offs for the first time in their Pl history, all of the team firing and looking terrific........... Then Penny cross appears with some upbeat, inspirational stuff.....incredible really.....
  9. Steady on there, was that a positive post?? Mind you, ' If any of the Rockets had fired' 'nowhere near as convincing a win as Somerset' Newman is appalling at Rye' 'there's still a long way to go'...... You will get there penny cross.....you will get there......
  10. Ward will win a. World title. I think you said in an earlier post Sidney that you think he is better than Leigh Adams even at this stage of his career? Not yet mate, no way. Adams was class, week in week out. Ward's not at that standard yet. Give him a couple more years to mature (some take longer than others) and I predict Ward will achieve greatness and win successive world titles.
  11. Is there currently a more corageous rider than Charles Wright? He spent almost the entire 4 laps in heat 12 literally scraping the boards on the turns and on occasions the straight, before blasting his way through. The best wall of death I've seen since Rickardsson at Poole. A truly entertaining meeting with the Witches in with a shout thanks to some fine riding from King and Tungate. The significant 'sun stopped play' delay hasn't been mentioned, no doubt because the regulars were royally entertained. The extra few hundred that tuned up probably had their appetite wetted too! Highlights of the meeting, apart from the Wright 'wall of death' was the King cutback to drive up the inside of Worrall, and Kurtz's terrific pass of King, before he unfortunately came to grief on the 4th bend, arguably over cooking it. A couple of mentions for two of the Rebels, Ollie Greenwood , who was truly in the mix in all of his races for little reward, and debutant Jensen who looked combative, and will add balance to the side. A mention too for the Witches, who were a determined outfit last night and gave the Rebels a real scare. Crap spelling!
  12. Super little track, nice set up and now, a decent team. The negative posters are conspicuous by their absence!
  13. How nice to read some positive posts from Plymouth fans!! Mind you, I'm not sure HT is a Plymouth fan!
  14. Very sad to see Leigh depart. He was loving his time at Somerset. However, the promotion have made a sharp move prior to some tricky matches coming up at the OTA. Jensen is an excellent signing after impressing at the OTA last season. Garry May surely has to make another change to the side. Charles Wright and Ritchie Worrall are not an ideal pairing and should now be split. I would put Worrall at number two, especially at home.
  15. Definition of 'protest too much' To protest about a statement or fact so loudly or so often, makes others begin to doubt you are telling the truth. Ahem.
  16. Talking of KKS Gater 1, I thought you were a fan of Gomolski from your Peterborough days?
