Not quiet the same scores but you never know. http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/16083/rye-house-berwick-plkoc-2016 Junior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a sport and it's within the rules. The fast track system was good for some riders without a doubt but it's a few rather than the majority still riding in the top tier which is now weaker than it was before the fast track draft was implemented. I'm all for us giving our youngsters all the chances possible to progress but there are other ways. If there is a way within the rules that we can get Kennett at reserve then there's nothing wrong with doing so. Edited May 23, 2018 by Ben91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevtheRev 122 Posted May 23, 2018 With so few fixtures, why would people miss out on seeing some speedway. Some good exciting riders on show tonight, so could be a great meeting, regardless of the score. Given that 4 of the Lakeside team are riding might even get a few of them attend.

Bryce 349 Posted May 23, 2018 Rye website is saying the guest for NBJ will be Kevin Doolan. Although I think the Rockets have no chance of winning on aggregate, there is still the prospect of an entertaining meeting this evening. I suppose I'll be half cheering for Swindon since 3 of their team are Hammers too. Looking forward to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris116 754 Posted May 23, 2018 I will be enjoying the racing this evening. The result on Monday means that progression to the KO Cup Semi Finals is very unlikely for Rye House but that does not mean we won't have a good evening of speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,333 Posted May 23, 2018 Well done to the old guys, Bomber and Nick. Well done to Adam and Batch, Nickyboy is a worry at number1 at times. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted May 23, 2018 Beginning to look like Batchelor is the true number one for the Robins, Morris has looked inconsistent compared to last year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted May 23, 2018 An enjoyable evening of decent racing and good company. Scott Nicholls produced a couple of terrific passes in particular. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted May 24, 2018 A poor crowd on a cold evening. Racing wise, it was the best meeting of the season at rye. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beckford Boy 6 Posted May 24, 2018 The racing last night was top class,pity the promoters were not.Advertised start time is given as 7-30pm,so why was it that the first heat went off at 7-53pm.Rye have always had troubles with dust,but is it really necessary for the sprinkler/grader to perform after every 2 heats especially at the snail's pace it moved at.I was impressed with the kids who showed their paces prior to the main event,but they were too close to the start time,they should have been finished earlier. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is the significance of the centre green feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
