GWC 495 Posted August 3, 2016 Unless the Raiders have a team with youngsters like the Brummies it will be a waste of time running again. Better to have second half racing and MDL meetings where the current lads will be more suitable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reviresco 708 Posted August 4, 2016 Well, can I just say that I would rather have an event like Sunday's than no speedway at all at Hoddesdon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I s'pose the prospect of an NL meeting after a 2 and a half first half was too much to take. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 4, 2016 The new promoters at rye seem to have no sense of urgency in running meetings. Strung out parades, multiple tractor breaks and extended intervals just add to the experience of watching Speedway in a building site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 5, 2016 Building site aside that's no different to the Silver era. maybe they should have learned from last season. The lack of meetings and awful track conditions have made watching speedway at rye a chore for me this year. I hope things improve soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted August 5, 2016 Interesting reading on here about supposed lack of development at Rye. I been twice this year and I think it's coming along ok tbh. These things take time and money to achieve and the new promotion have only been in charge a couple of months. I can only compare the growth of my club , Somerset with Rye. Every season in March when we opened something different had happened, changes to the pits, changing rooms and so on, until we have what we have now. The new covered pits at Rye look great, the work done in the middle is coming on too. I think the racing has improved as well, not so much gate and go that used to make a visit to Rye a bore fest. I will agree the state of the track is at the moment is a bit of a downer, but good riders can ride any track imo. New bosses, new season , get behind them and see how it's shaping up in a couple of seasons. We are doing great at the moment, it hasn't been an overnight thing and long may it continue, I can remember a time when we were always in the bottom half of the league. Rye is a local club to me and I want them to succeed . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
