ok see what you mean - nothing about it on Lakeside website (still not surprised by that as this sport is not re known for keeping fans informed of anything) - we will see what happens

have read it again still nothing - from what I have heard fair chance that Lakeside will still be at their old track next year. Looks like we've finished - all those years of great racing just thrown away

perhaps people know something I don't but still can not see it happening this year (would be great if it did happen)

Yes same here am going to various tracks at present ( always did anyway). P Boro Friday and Sunday and Brit sidecar champs at K Lynn on Sat

fully agree but it still means our speedway team is lost after early 20 years since its rebirth

so do you think that racing will continue this year? - sorry up until now I have been very optimistic about the whole new set up but I am afraid I am not now (unless you count a couple of dragons club meetings - no offence to them but they are hardly likely to pull any crowd in). I would love to keep my optimism going and will support any resurrection of the team but...………...

well said Ben the fact that our club has gone (and how it has happened) is far more important than all the rubbish being spouted on here. Would like to see some discussion as to how the situation can be reversed as all the hard work getting the club back etc seems to have just been thrown away - I don't care about money/politics etc all I know is somehow the real fans of the club seem to have been taken for granted and I guess we could all see problems coming with the way things were going but didn't ever think that everything would be thrown away in 2 years. My real disappointment is that I do not see any way back for the club and as for seeing any speedway there this season there is not a hope in hell

yes don't think Daniel races and yes William pulled out of the tt this year as his partner was having pregnancy problems (he posted these details to his fans just to let them know why he pulled out) - still can not really take it in myself yet.

yes they are a different breed both his uncle (Joey) and father (Robert) were killed racing - his brother Michael (18 times tt winner) is the only one left - he is entered for the meeting tomorrow but don't know if he has decided to race or not. Both brothers did race in the NW 200 after their father Robert was killed in practice (the organisers did try to stop them but to no avail) - Williams bike broke down at the start but Michael actually won the race in memory of their father.

not speedway but William died today following a practice crash in Ireland for the Skerries road race - the third member of the family to be killed racing - RIP

Once again our sport has been hit with a so called 'business man' who has loads of money and will change everything 'for the good' (what happened to the 5 year plan) and then the usual thing happens the money isn't there and club is finished. Do these people not realise while they are on their ego trip what they are doing to the lives of people who have supported their club for years (win or lose home and away) - they are not usually interested in the sport itself (its history etc) and somehow manage to destroy something that has taken years of hard work (often by volunteers) to build up. I am sure of one thing if Len still ran the club (and I know he didn't always get things right) we would still be watching speedway at Rye every week because quite simply he still has a passion for the sport which many so called promotors do not have these days.

exactly what I was thinking and because of that I can not see there will be any speedway at Rye again this year or in future until all debts are paid

so you definitely ARE running next Friday - so that means that I can DEFINATELY book and sort out my travelling (I will obviously accept things if it rains)

no they are not scheduled this year (good job after last years dismal effort)

it doesn't happen very often BUT have to fully agree with you - can not see any positives at present
