Shadders 4,118 Posted October 9, 2012 How would I know who's the favourite to win the Rye House rider of the year? Still, I guess that's reason enough to call someone a fool..... Nice attitude you have there It's a term of endearment down these parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted October 9, 2012 Id of thought Mellgren would have won the rider of the season... Garrity has been missing for a lot of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westhamboy66 599 Posted October 9, 2012 That was a decent meeting given it was against a very poor Ipswich team. Only Dakota North left with any pride. As far as the Rocket of the year garrity by a mile, not just for his racing but for his infectious enthusiasm without any of the shortcomings that were predicted by some Belle Vue supporters. Doubt that the daft old bugger who runs the club will get any congratulations for getting him to the club, making him feel welcome,keeping him level headed and assisting his progress just as he did with Woffinden and Sundstrom and likely will do with Robert Lambert too.

Chris 437 Posted October 9, 2012 Id of thought Mellgren would have won the rider of the season... Garrity has been missing for a lot of it! Would agree. Mellgren has been the only one to put his hand up on a number of occasions. Garrity has only started scoring points at the back end of the season and very rarely contributed away from home.

Pinny 2,536 Posted October 9, 2012 I reckon Mellgren could do a Sundstrom next season. Very professional, doesnt drink and has shown massive promise this season. When he first joined Newport in 2010 he was a bit of a gating tart... His spell at the end of 2011 seen him a changed rider and passing top riders at home and away. After a very good season, i think next year will see him emerge as a genuine number one. Highly rated by tony rickardsson who was his mentor when he rode for Newport which says a lot. Think in two or three seasons he could well be a better rider than Kim Nilsson who when both were at Newport looked the far better rider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That didn't prevent Luke winning the vote most years. Edited October 9, 2012 by Shadders 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted October 10, 2012 Mellgren has to be Rocket of the year, nothing against Garrity who has been brilliant when not injured, he will only get better no doubt. Anders has consistently top scored home and away, in a lot of cases being the only rider to show up away from home so to speak. Gonna be the man to watch next year in the Premier League.
