Hob Nob 25 Posted October 20, 2015 If it means changes at the top end to keep all three then personally I would make them. Bowtell didn't seem out of his depth in the main team and Hume and Hunter would be a decent reserve pairing to start next season. Think we may see a slightly higher points limit next season, nothing drastic but say 37-38. I wouldn't be surprised if Alfie Bowtell leaves Rye as Andrew was a big influence on him & he has clearly missed his support. As Andrew is no longer aloud at the stadium I wonder if Kent might be in the pipe line for Alfie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 27 Posted October 21, 2015 I wouldn't have Hume, too early for him in National League, a spell in the MDL or amateur leagues would do him good. Spent more times on his backside or in the fence, can't turn the bike properly and can only be a danger to himself and others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted October 21, 2015 Hume has had plenty of runs in the MDL both last year and this. His style is never going to work on tighter more technical tracks. If he was signed for kings lynn he would bring plenty of points whilst honing his skills for the smaller tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted October 21, 2015 I wouldn't have Hume, too early for him in National League, a spell in the MDL or amateur leagues would do him good. Spent more times on his backside or in the fence, can't turn the bike properly and can only be a danger to himself and others. Â Despite putting nearly a point on his average? That's the purpose of the NL for a club like Rye, for their riders to learn. From watching him early in the season compared to how he was going at the end he has been learning and improving. All speedway riders are dangerous if they come off, it's a dangerous sport. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barraider 55 Posted November 16, 2015 Would love to see the raiders back in 2016 as it was the one bright point of this season which kept me going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junior fan 132 Posted November 19, 2015 Robs hoping he can be fitted in again, he really enjoyed his time there. Â Junior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted November 20, 2015 Hoping Branford is a Rocket for next year, would leave an awfully long tail if he is a Raider assuming the points limit is 38. Â Hume, Bowtell and Hunter have to be the first three names on the team sheet. I can see Bowen or Hughes starting as the Raiders' number one, fitting both in would again leave a really long tail.
