Mr Bump

Me too. He’s a good man. Shame we couldn’t have had the successful season the club deserved with him at the helm.

Simon Stead has stepped down as manager of the Lions.

300 metres puts you at the exact same length as the Leicester track. Hope for your sake that consists of plenty of bend & nice short straights, otherwise it’ll be dire stuff.

Too right. I certainly am!

Have you not visited and viewed the action first hand at Leicester?

Yep we twigged that one too, based on the big no.5 on his back!! Our ‘presentation’ team sometimes leave a wee bit to be desired

Is that true?!? I stand on the first bend so couldn't tell from there. Decent race between the two of them though!

James Sergeant was signed this season & is a Lions asset. Think Jan Graversen is one too, Peter Ljung also.

Mr.Pearson has just mentioned on live tv that BT sport viewers can indeed see Leicester v Kings Lynn on Monday night. Suppose we’ll have to take his word for it

Which one of the promotion is Hardy?

Nice to see a fair size crowd in tonight, thought after the recent drubbings it could have been thin on the ground. Track didn’t produce in the way of passing, which after the decent Poole meeting was a shame. Nicholls in heat 13 round the outside was superb though. Anyways we won a bloomin speedway meeting for a change!! Reasons to be cheerful

Belle vue win . Can’t see any other outcome with the team we now have. Really hope I’m proved completely wrong though.

No live meetings on tonight

It’s now David Howe instead of Starke who was instead of Auty. Not only do we change our 1-7 with amazing regularity, we now change our guests within hours too. Oh well.

We’ll have him. We’ve used just about everybody this season anyway. One more won’t hurt.

New averages effective from tomorrow now put Auty at reserve. Serjeant could indeed come back in & we’d still have 1 point to play with overall. Charles Wright was only signed as a 28 day replacement for Danny King so that must be about to end too?. The idea of even more changes though seems almost absurd. We’ve used that many riders we look more like a chuffin’ rugby union team than a speedway team.

Exactly right. The promotion put together a strong side at the start of the season, only to see it decimated by injuries. We’re now not much more than a championship side at best. Stuart Robsons’ chain break 100 yards from the line on a well earned 5-1 sums up our year. On the plus side the extra dirt on the track is producing some decent racing at last. Harris & Nicholls both excellent, Kacper Woryna a real trier. Good buy in Jacobsen too.

Grajczonek listed as riding for Poole on the Leicester website. Either way cannot see anything but another home loss sadly.

Agree with that. Surprised that Mountain hasn’t figured in plans so far with how well he rides the track. Pieszczek looks incredibly uncomfortable on the grippy surface we now have. Making starts but struggling to turn the bike. Shame because he showed excellent form early in the season

Why do you have to pay a quid more than most people?

An on form Nicolai Klindt at reserve could definitely help win the meeting for the Pirates. His scores for us in 2016 whilst having a short stint at no.6 were significant, including a seven ride paid max!

For the sake of all Rye supporters I hope you can run again next year.

Not sure I particularly disagree with what you are saying. However the validity of this along with most of your posts is questionable when you do not appear to know what year it is.

Exactly. I’d say a decent win for the Stars on the basis that you’re riding at home. Against Leicester. And we very rarely win away meetings.

Was definitely on track. Right up against the kerb. Did seem a bit odd
