Shadders 4,136 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) what i would say is that some rye fans have got their wish. Back in the good old days of match bonus points we were thumping most teams by thirty points at rye. There were cries of i'm bored with the big wins. I used to love the big home wins. As regular away travellers we saw closer meetings away from home, so had the best of both worlds Edited June 10, 2013 by Shadders 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted June 10, 2013 I used to love the big home wins. As regular away travellers we saw closer meetings away from home, so had the best of both worlds Spot on, big home wins seemed to attract more fans too! I don't know how you got to so many away meetings mate, I love following us away but it's just so disheartening these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't put finger on it. If I could I'd go to every away match. The only thing that's stopping me is getting time off work. Even after last Fridays humbling experience I'd go back tomorrow at the drop of a hat if we were riding there.

bolly 96 Posted June 12, 2013 We have one who's lost interest in the sport and is just going through the motions as far as I can see and one that was never going to set the world alight and now seems to be going backwards. And tonights lottery numbers are Now I think we better keep hold of the rider who is going backwards, he might soon be our No 1 As discussed by Mr Charalambous, Miss Ellis and Mr Booth last Saturday night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyd 165 Posted June 13, 2013 I'm past caring about the lack of draught beer. I think its time to start worrying about the existence of the club !!!! I dont know , have any insider information or anything like that in fact I am proberly talking out my a**se but if the crowds remain good in kent this season could there be a possible licence switch that will see premier league racing at sittingbourne and national league at Rye next year. ?????? As I say I know nothing but just thinking aloud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westhamboy66 599 Posted June 13, 2013 Tony why would len silver transfer a licence to Kent when an application to simply join the PL would be welcomed. Len silver pays no rent at Rye so his income comes from the paying customer and food and drink, why would he possibly want to decimate that income by switching to NL racing. No the problem for me is that we have lost regular weekly racing due to his interest in Kent which has clearly affected the crowds at Rye. He has made some bad misjudgements of his Rye fans for a couple of years and that is why he is in trouble, now taking his finger off the pulse to assist at Kent has seen further decline at Rye and yes that does cause concern for Rye House Speedway. In the old days Len would have several clubs on the go at the same time, those days are long gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
