SPEEDY69 1,238 Posted July 3, 2018 I think some people are confusing Rye House with Belle Vue on here. The 1500 crowd figure was posted in relation to Belle Vue. The 400 figure was posted in relation to Rye House. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted July 3, 2018 As have the long drawn out BSPA negotiations. If the rumour I heard was that a prominent Championship team were going to take over the Rye House position in the Premiership and vice versa mid-season. That's a lot to talk about IF it is more than a rumour. A real House of Cards that would be. Has to be a fantasy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even begin to think how that would work. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that idea was even being considered it has to be the daftest one they've come up with yet. I think every supporter in the country knows that won't work. If it's considered for next year it would be a good idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted July 4, 2018 Rye house is a dilapidated old stadium. It has been for years. It looks like it was thrown together in the 50’s and hasn’t been touched since. If if one of your biggest selling points is “the best fish and chips in speedway” you know you’re already knee deep in the brown stuff. No one seems to know ( or care) how to bring it into the 21st century in terms of comfort, catering, presentation or anything else that would attract someone to it as an evenings entertainment Its sad but just put it out of its misery. You really are flogging a dead horse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really are flogging a dead horse Rye House using the fish and chips as a selling point stopped about a decade ago. The stadium does need work doing to it though and what has been done by the promotion to this point hasn’t improved it from when Len Silver left. That said, you don’t just put it out of its misery because we’re going through a rough patch. Until this point we’ve been one of the most stable clubs in the country since our reformation. When there were calls for us to move up a league in the mid-00s Len always said it wasn’t viable. He may not have been the best at promoting the club at that point but nonetheless it looks like he was right from a business standpoint. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted July 4, 2018 Jonny the spud obviously hasnt been to many of his boys home meetings at Lakeside then. Now that is an absolute dump. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chairboy 77 Posted July 4, 2018 If I may return the topic to Rye House for a moment...I must say I really did think that some kind of statement would have been put out by now. Can the Speedway Star really go with a "let's pretend nothing's happened at RH" approach tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
