Shadders 4,136 Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) I feel a conspiracy theory coming on! Wouldn't that be poetic justice after Rye House "stole" Tyson Nelson from under Sheffields nose? Edited April 13, 2014 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted April 13, 2014 I don't know how much he earns riding for Coventry, but as he's only up against mainly NL class and the odd PL reserve that sounds about right. If imagine he'd be snapped up by another PL club if Silver decided he'd had enough and released him. Somewhere like Sheffield who could easily release someone like Taylor Poole and fit him in.

Amazing what goes through your mind while out clothes shopping with the Missus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JmeRay 53 Posted April 13, 2014 Hopefully JG will get his machinery sorted. The lad was devastated by his score last night & so it doesn't seem to me to be a problem with Rye, just poor machinery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the draft system was announced it was said there would be a £40 a point pay rate across the board. If that is all he's getting at Coventry then it's not enough to fund his racing surely?

Triple.H. 1,988 Posted April 13, 2014 Depends how much they're paying him as a guarantee, but you'd think he'd need more than EL racing to earn enough He needs far more than EL racing to develop a Career in the sport,he needs 3-4 meetings a week to keep him on his game,maybe he's being badly advised or been tapped up by another PL club with a view to Joining them on a lower average,dependent of course on which of the many averages a rider has is the one thats used by the BSPA that week. Perhaps his injury is playing on his mind he knows he can beat other draft riders but its more difficult in the PL.Last night there were a couple of occasions where he was in a great Position but didn't twist the grip 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people in the pits saying his bike wasn't up to much. Was down on power due to the engine not fitting in the frame properly. That's what I was told. I know nothing about bikes, but there was an announcement for some plumbers tape literally 5 minutes before the start of the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliffeboy 577 Posted April 13, 2014 My first meeting of the season and really enjoyed it. Always good to meet up with Statto, Womble and all the rest not forgetting Shadders and Sid from Rye.I thought Somerset were very impressive ,Nick, Pontus and Brady were all worthy heat leaders and todd, Charlie and paul were all in the mix throughout.I was a bit disappointed with Rye, only Eddie got me off my seat, Boxall tried hard but in the end was second best to the Rebels top three, and Bowen gave it 100% as usual, but too late. Bunyan, Tress, Lambert and Garrity were (for the home side aswell) quite poor. I had some great banter with some home supporters who made us quite welcome and invited me back (as I live in the Watford area) for a match that does not involve the Rebels to stand with them, which was great.

Vince 9,459 Posted April 14, 2014 Garrity is just coming back from a really serious injury and will be lacking in bike time and confidence as well as probably hurting a fair bit. Not looking interested to fans isn't necessarily the same as not being interested. Surely a rider the Rye fans were raving about a few months ago deserves to be allowed a bit more time to get back into things? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
