Shadders 4,134 Posted September 5, 2017 I don't understand why the Ben fund collection was on the last home meeting of the season, with the smallest crowd of the year also !! Would of been better done at the tv meeting surly. Doubt BT would want a 20 minute delay while the riders went around the crowd collecting donations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 5, 2017 Too many counter attractions on last night. England and speedway on TV, and a lot of neutral rye regulars like myself went to Kent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted September 6, 2017 I agree about the play offs,as a Wolves fan I was aware that you were a danger if you qualified, for other reasons I'm glad you didn't, the thought of KK been seen as a saviour/ hero would be too much to stomach, you're problem now is you think he will be your trump card next season where as in reality he will just return to type On a six point average he is still more likely to put points on than drop them. Especially if he starts as a second string. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted September 6, 2017 On that sort of average he has to be in. Careful planning needs to be done to stop any clashes with KK SEC fixtures and Chris's Long track commitments,that's if we do run Saturday fixtures. Wonder if Branford will be back next year. To me he badly let us down at the beginning of the season, maybe he rode too much with the injury he had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 6, 2017 I agree about the play offs,as a Wolves fan I was aware that you were a danger if you qualified, for other reasons I'm glad you didn't, the thought of KK been seen as a saviour/ hero would be too much to stomach, you're problem now is you think he will be your trump card next season where as in reality he will just return to type Return to type? 7 to 8 point man? Shocking. Take a look at KKs averages the last 10 or so season, he has good year, bad year, good year, bad year. This year was a bad year, next year he's due a good one. It almost seems to silly to suggest it but it's true. I'll go with KK averaging 8+ in 2018, so on a 6.x average it's a no brainer to have him. Put him with Harris and have them at 1 and 5 and you have a great pairing in heat 13 and 15 too as they work so well together. As for the rest the Rockets have a few decent choices, I'm no Kennett fan but on that average, as 3rd heat leader/second string around Rye House, well you can't say no can you? Nicholls? Well you know what you're getting, it's not an average increase but it's 100% effort and a great captain/man in the pits. A guy who has been there and done it. Robbo is the odd one, well liked but really not a very good signing as he's going one way and theres plenty of better options but do you really get rid of a guy who is so well loved and is almost Mr Rye House. Barker and Wells are rider you have back if they fit, personally wouldn't pick either as first choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 9, 2017 On a six point average he is still more likely to put points on than drop them. Especially if he starts as a second string. Totally agree.Would be first on my team sheet on a 6 if Rye can afford him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted September 9, 2017 This season was always going to be a learning curve, but by the end of the season, we had a team that would have scared the hell out of any of the other three in the playoffs, in fact, I would go as far as to say, that by the end, we probably had the best team in the league. Its always a matter of opinion, but I would say that its this reason, that most fans would be happy to have the same team back next year. It was nice to see Rye step up, as more teams were needed. But that comment is probably stretching it to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TesarRacing 1,825 Posted October 5, 2017 ...and so good by to the 2017 season. http://www.ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1492 Nice press release but could be a bit risky signing 3 riders before the BSPA Annual Conference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
