  1. Never been a great fan of Lambert, but tonight was one of if the best performance I have seen at Rye (first meeting 1976). Well done young man.an extraordinary performance.

    Sheffield Vs Rye 30th July Pl

    I remember when Billy Big Shoes joined us I was delighted but Belle Vue fans warned what you have in store, Good luck Sheffield, in time you will need it as well.

    Sheffield Vs Rye 30th July Pl

    "A substantial home win" Im not so sure with Busk, Mellgren and Aspregren the Rockets seem to be built for the big tracks (not like years and years of dross on anything larger than 250 metres), didn't we win twice at Sheffield recently? And despite all the problems at Berwick we would have still never got to 30 in the past.

    Berwick V Rye House Sat 25th Koc Q/f 2nd Leg

    Well well done Rockets (especially the reserves) bet the journey home doesn't seem half as long now.
  5. A better score than I feared tonight although doesn't that say how low my expectations have dropped. Pleased to see Luke get a few quality points cause we are going to need him tomorrow When they said Danny Massen was a 5 point rider, you all thought it was 5 points per meeting , well infact it is 5 points in total for the season.

    Well the reserves seem to be decisions parallel with Fawlty Towers O`Reilly or Stubbs. Sybil "why do you employ O`Reilly Basil?" Basil "because he is cheap" Sybil "he`s cheap cause he no bloody good" Lets hope the legend status is not tarnished and Silver the younger takes over after the splendid way he has run the raiders this season

    Ales Dryml as a second string, yes please.
  9. Not sure how to feel about the last two results. Positives Lead at half way stage at Somerset where 30 is normally an achievement Robin is back on early season form Eddie still delivering if only meetings lasted 14 heats Busk find of the season and I feel there is more in the tank not him overachieving at present Negatives No points from either match Boxall, its already been said Injuries as it seems every year Greenwood not ready fro Prem Eddie heat 15
  10. One other fact about tonight Barrett 2.78 is replaced by Sargent 7.36 another night in the crazy world of speedway

    Ales Dryml would be super especially around the Showground, whoops I forgot, didn't he like to get paid?

    Rye House V Coventry 23/5/15

    1980 Oh yes I was there too. Bruce Penhall 12 point max, Rye were second and Ole Olsen 4.
  13. Great result last night for the Rockets, just about rekindled our season. Yet again it shows that if you can have a big scoring No1 (Kennett just continues to amaze me, in a positive way) and a big scoring reserve (boy have we missed Kasper) it can go a long way in winning matches. A lot of Edinburghs success last year was Cook at No 1 and Worrall S at reserve whilst Ipswich may win our League Cup group oh yes, King at No 1 and Covatti at reserve.

    Good luck Simon, one of the most pleasing on the eye opponents to watch (and I look forward to that again in the future)

    Rye House V Sheffield 18th April

    Firstly lets get things in perspective our thoughts and best wishes are to the three injured riders. What a sport we follow when my first reaction is good when I read the words "stable condition". But I do have concern regarding Bowens sabbatical, I have always supported Luke through the years nobody has given more for the club in both commitment and injuries and I fully understand finally it may be too much of a sacrifice, but this 28 day wait is starting to ruin our season especially with Kasper out (again no idea if its three hours , three weeks or three months) In short nobody is ever bigger than any club so please get back now Luke if you want to ride as we need your firepower at reserve or call it a day so we can redeclare our team.
  18. Last season the most frustrating thing was a guest was normally a NL rider when other teams choose real value as a guest, no doubt the reason was, it was the cheap option. This season seemed to be different with Covatti guesting but soon as we lose at home it back to the cheap policy (Greenwood D is not even the best Greenwood, who himself could be dropped any day) And what happens the reserves score a whopping 3 combined. This is not a complaint of Greenwood and I thank him for his efforts but where was Sargeant, Ellis, Clegg, Covatti, or either Neilson to name some. I know we only won 4 heats but with Somersets three No 1s that is usually going to happen its the 3-3s that you need to nick a point. We HAD a chance of wining this section
  19. * So we have a new promotion committed to Speedway * Major works started on the stadium (They were upfront about it will take a while) * We have a new sensation in Busk (an even better start than Sundstrom made) * Both teams unbeaten * Raiders had no riders in February and yet have a more than competitive team now * No prima donnas messing us about * Andrews production line has started (do not judge Hume, Boutall and Hunter on April 4) Guess what, people still find the ability to moan, well if you do not approve then get your own cheque book and do better, but in the meantime do not p*ss off Warren Scott the rest of us are right behind him.

    Shadders, we couldn't make it last night, did the Raiders get a run out and if so, how did they look?

    Rye House 2015

    Not a great situation regarding Kennett (but remember this is speedway, not a normal sport) more concerned about Swedish commitments for Busk and Robin.

    Rye V Ipswich 21st March

    More than happy with the Rockets performance last night, Just compare Aspegren, Jakobson and Kasper for Garrity, Bunyan and Tres (forget all the off track baggage) and the team is much stronger. But perhaps the best thing that happened was after a "can only happen in speedway" long gap before the rerun of the 5-0 race, Warren Scott (new owner) appeared in front of the referees box to demand that they "get on" with the meeting, does speedway finally have a promoter who considers the shivering fans. WELCOME WARREN.

    Birmingham Vs Cradley (ch) 18th March 2015

    Just checked out the score from this evening and to be quite honest, provides nothing to make ANY fan enthusiastic about wasting their time (forget the money aspect !) in going along to a national league meeting. Over the close season have read so many team announcements about the signing of 'x' or 'y' who have signed, but then when you look into their individual profile, have only recently taken up the sport. Over the last 2 years have attended most of the Coventry Storm meetings at Brandon. Think for 2015 I will use the 10 quid or so admission price to buy some paint from B&Q, just 1 mile from Brandon, and watch it dry instead. Well done to the GB speedway authorities ! IMO you have made what was a viable, and entertaining spectacle potentially pathetic. So I deduce you are not a NL fan, but by the end of the season there will be new heros, new future world champions, future riders for Poole to poach, stay with it dear fellow it will be worth it

    Not bad, although being an oldy Race suits with Infradex on tucked in boots will always be the peak.
