Shadders 4,135 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I would love to hear Ronnie Russell's take on things. I am sure he lost a fortune personally but his decisions sometimes did beggar belief. Most of my digs at Ronnie are tongue in cheek. Perhaps I'm looking through rose tinted spectacles, but I know for a fact he lost a packet promoting Rye House. Some of his signings were baffling, but don't forget he put his neck on the block to bring Jens Rasmussen to Rye House and one of the most exciting and dangerous riders I've ever seen in Martin Goodwin. He had some let downs too. Roger Johns came in from Wimbledon on a near 8 point average and then proceeded to stink the place out... Mel Taylor was one of the best riders in the National League when he came over from MIldenhall with Barry Klatt, but he failed to live up to expectations. Injuries didn't help either. I remember Trevor O'Brien, an earlier version of Tyson Nelson, who bust his thigh when he was looking very good. Edited July 16, 2013 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) And the legend that is Peter schroeck. Not sure that's spelt right!!!! Looks good, unlike his points tally for Rye House... Nice moustache though... He should've stuck with his pop career Edited July 16, 2013 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevH 257 Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Were there any jungle drums banging tonight about who Rye's replacement rider may be? On tonight's evidence, Ben Morley seems to be worth a shot !!! Edited July 20, 2013 by KevH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted July 20, 2013 If you read 'Lens Lines' in tonights programme, he states that Pontus Aspgren will be staying on indefinitely. That means the empty position when Jason G returns in 2 weeks ???? according to Len as well, will be No. 1 rider, and with every will in the world Ben is not ready to fill that gap. 1. ??? 2. Bunyan 3. Mellgren 4. Nelson 5. Aspgren 6 Garritty 7. Lykke Maybe Ben to fill in at home meetings till Jason G returns, or until Luke is fit enough to return ? Must admit Ben looked a lot better at holding his position and not being bullied about by other riders tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The kid was hobbling around on crutches at Sheffield on Thursday. Now I'm no doctor, in fact I've had no medical training whatsoever, but that sounds a little overly optimistic don't you think?

One stand out ride against Bager tonight when he stuck it in on bend one half way through heat 12 when previously he would've backed off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't mean that the management would try to lie to us fans ?? I've never heard of such things. Whatever next ?? Next thing Shadders will be saying is that Father Christmas does't exist and there aren't fairies at the end of the garden. Note to Sarah.

bolly 96 Posted July 21, 2013 No, I don't mean that at all. I think the young lad is a little too enthusiastic. I actually agree with you and dont think he will be back for a few weeks yet.

Rockets 61 Posted July 31, 2013 The bike will need to be faster than the one he was riding for us then Bolly. On the basis that Olly's return is imminent can we keep him, Garrity and Pontus by redeclaring. Once fit that would be some 1-7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
