Shadders 4,135 Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like Ipswich only require a draw at Plymouth to top the Southern League Cup group. Second place isn't enough to qualify as it stands. That home defeat by Peterborough (two 1-5's in the last 2 heats) may have cost us dearly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bolly 96 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Copied from Dan Greenwoods website. Dan's 'STORMing' start to the season has moved on from the National and Premier League guest booking stage. Tonight he will line-up for Coventry Bees in their Elite League match at Wolverhamptonas a guest replacement for James Sarjeant, who was injured in a crash at Glasgow on Sunday. Then, on Thursday, he makes his Premier League debut for the Rye House Rockets at Redcar after agreeing to sign for the Hoddesdon-based outfit yesterday as a replacement for Luke Bowen, who earlier this month announced his decision to take time away from the sport, leaving the Rockets management team having to use a twenty-eight day emergency guest facility that is shortly due to expire. Obviously thrilled and excited by this new challenge, Dan would like to thank promoters Len Silver and Warren Scott and Team Manager John Sampford for this opportunity, and he is very much looking forward to being a part of the Restart Rockets. The Rye House Rockets team declaration with averages effective from 1st May, subject to BSPA approval, will be; 1.Edward Kennett (8.71), 2.Nikolaj Busk-Jacobsen (7.00), 3.Anders Mellgren (6.25), 4.Robin Aspegren (5.84), 5.Steve Boxall (6.35), 6.Kasper Lykke Nielsen (5.19), 7.Dan Greenwood (3.00*) - Total=41.31 Hope he does well. The point that puzzles me slightly is that if the management had re-declared prior to the new averages coming into force, they would of had over four points to replace Luke with. But leaving it till now means the only option is a 3 point rider ??? Maybe first choice did not become available, or they were just dithering, knowing the Rye House management we will never know Edited April 28, 2015 by bolly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe first choice did not become available, or they were just dithering, knowing the Rye House management we will never know Was a pretty misleading Statement re Luke Bowen...Taking time out of the sport, could have been month or retiring. Not helpful really but perhaps they were giving time to Luke to make up his mind properly which is only fair given his service to the club. Perhaps we'll see him again but at National League level sometime. Not sure who would have been available anyway but glad to see we have someone signed up, Edward did remark at Peterborough how it was difficult to maintain a spirit in the team continually using so many guests and i think it did begin show.

Ben91 1,743 Posted April 28, 2015 Wish Greenwood all the best but this is going to leave us very long in the tail. Frees up points higher up the order, will we be ruthless enough to make another change? Probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frees up points higher up the order, will we be ruthless enough to make another change? Probably not.The only feasible option would be letting Robin go as he's not an asset. That'd leave 6.93 for his replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted May 7, 2015 That was a short retirement, maybe len will put him straight back in the team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted May 7, 2015 He retired after the Peterborough match, when Len was arguing with the riders over track prep. Personally I think Luke was just annoyed with all the politics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
