Sings4Speedway 3,249 Posted October 20, 2016 A more typical Rye team will be Kennett Robson NBJ Mellgren Lykke Boxall 3 pointer or if no 3 pointer rule Morley and 1 of 3 above replaced by Branford! Yep a very typical Rockets team and one that would bring the same success as previous years.....none. Don't forget the new promotion don't have Lens loyalties (misguided or otherwise) along with his contacts book so would probably sign the wrong Mellgren.

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted October 20, 2016 NBJ...Unless he drops his pre season set up demands he won't be back at Rye As in sorting out a van/flights/accomidation if required/ other fringe benefits? Is this what you mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westhamboy66 599 Posted October 20, 2016 As in sorting out a van/flights/accomidation if required/ other fringe benefits? Is this what you mean? The package that he asked for was significantly higher than the figure asked for by Edward Kennett. Given that NBJ was likely to be third heat leader if was viewed excessive. Given the state of speedway in this country and the crowd levels at Rye House it would have been suicidal for the Promotion to agree. Like it or not British and Australians are a far better bet given that they are based here rather than Danes Swedes and Poles who are constantly flying in and out 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted October 21, 2016 1. Edward Kennett 9.27 2. Rob Branford 4.60 3. Charlie Gjedde 9.22 4. Kasper Lykke Nielsen 5.16 or Cameron Heeps 5.07 5. Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen 6.98 6. Ben Morley 3.85 7. 3.00 lol, this is an awful team but I just want to see Gjedde back in the uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget the new promotion don't have Lens loyalties (misguided or otherwise) along with his contacts book so would probably sign the wrong Mellgren. I'd not go anywhere near Anders anyway, shame as he was really kicking on then had a bad injury. Never been the same rider since.

Like it or not British and Australians are a far better bet given that they are based here rather than Danes Swedes and Poles who are constantly flying in and out Hopefully the promotion will do the necessary paperwork so we can employ Aussies again. Especially with Jack Holder likely to be available, should be going all out to sign a rider like that. 1. Edward Kennett 9.27 2. Rob Branford 4.60 3. Charlie Gjedde 9.22 4.

Shadders 4,136 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Nahhh Rather watch him for somebody else, as much as I like him Chances are he'd be dropped, quit, or be injured before he pitched up at Newcastle Edited October 21, 2016 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted October 21, 2016 Chances are he'd be dropped, quit, or be injured before he pitched up at Newcastle Well getting dropped isn't necessarily his fault, I'm sure he doesn't WANT to be injured, and lets just hope no riders get injured, and speedway's a sport that if you don't feel right doing, or if you don't feel right in the situation you're in, you SHOULD quit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) He wasn't sacked this year, he walked away as far as I know. I know, and that applies to the last part of my comment "or if you don't feel right in the situation you're in, you SHOULD quit" I have no problem with any riders quitting at anytime tbh, it's their life on the line at the end of the day, literally And whether that's because they feel unsafe, or they're not getting the money, it's the same thing, we all need to make a living somehow Rye house el league next year no raiders i reckon imo lost money last yr Big bmr sponsor taking on all costs,people dont realise how big they really are. Six figure sum no probs I still think pl racing is better imo How true is this comment? I never knew Rye House were going to be backed, them people should take over the league and look after all the teams Bring back Plymouth and other teams that have gone bust throughout the years, we need big people to take an interest in out unique sport Edited October 22, 2016 by Dandelion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayleigh 362 Posted October 22, 2016 Mr Sandhu, Rick Frost, The Invisible guy at Lakeside, John Posselwhaite at Reading, gosh even Steve Ribbons (bigger pockets than most of us) all driven out of the sport by a small group of self interested promoters who can then enact their self interested needs. Ever decreasing circles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted November 1, 2016 With Lakeside announcing their intention not to run in the EL in 2017, did the stories circulating at Hoddesdon in August have some basis then? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
