However the validity of this along with most of your posts is questionable when you do not appear to know what year it is. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted July 4, 2018 You have to feel for the Rye House fans and riders. I just hope that something can be salvaged to allow the club to be resurrected next season. As for Chapman, his chairmanship has been a disaster. Yes, he inherited many problems but has failed totally to achieve even the minor improvements that he promised when taking office. The openness and transparency he made a priority is a total joke, the BSPA is now even more secretive and where is the promised new rule book. Instead we agreed to fixed nights, which included the worst night of the week for attracting crowds and even managed to make a mess of that by changing the other agreed fixed night to Wednesday, when Denmark have priority. Now, more than ever, we need someone to step forward who has the ability and the vision to take the sport forward and to give that person the authority to do what is necessary. Self interest had to be put aside for the sport to survive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrss 691 Posted July 4, 2018 What did anyone expect? Rye stadium is a dump, the team is rubbish ,and the promoter is a prat. Little wonder people didn't support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orbiter 172 Posted July 4, 2018 For any track to shut is sad, I feel for the fans and would like to wish the all the best and hope someone can come in and turn the club around but I do fear in this day and age it maybe an impossible task! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another option is some of the better Champ sides step into a new set up with whats left of the Prem into a new format which allows teams to ride on nights of their choice suited best for the crowds, and if to the detrement of signing certain overseas so called stars then so be it. Either that or one big league but something has to be done to make the sport more financially viable to at least cover costs even if not profit. Thinks for certain have to change or we may not have a sport to discuss this time next year. Well not in its current format. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Stummings 126 Posted July 4, 2018 All the talk by various people “in the know” including Len claimed Warren Scott was a millionaire and had money to burn, hence taking on Rye House. Well obviously his millions ain’t no more! As for Steve Jensen he started as the man with the keys, then co promoter. He’s tried his best but with the total lack of speedway knowledge he was kinda thrown in at the deep end. Perhaps his man management skills could do with a tweek here and there but I’m guessing he’s also now jobless along with the charming Emma. Presentation at Rye was truly awful I saw a post that said Rye House had become stale in Lens latter years. Yes it had and if you go to Central Park Sittingbourne Lens track there’s very poor presentation and it’s stale to, but at least it’s still going. I did here rumours that Warren Scott had pulled his interest of the speedway before the start of the season and passed it on to his brother, how true that is I don’t know. But perhaps this could explain a few things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still some how its Busters fault to most???? A very Uninspiring team and fans just decide not to go. i feel sorry for the hardcore fans who go week after week. The fair weather ones i have no time for. the riders will find rides, most already have a team. The stadium had character 10 years ago. now its just a confusing mess.
