Shadders 4,134 Posted April 2, 2017 Lot to do yet, but didn't hear any complaints about the stadium. Parking was a problem, but that's out of the promoters hands. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: By CRAIG SAUL ::::::::::: THE BIG PREVIEW: BMR ROCKETS VS SWINDON After the emotion and drama of last week’s opening SGB Premiership victory over defending champions Wolverhampton, the focus shifts to the Knock-Out Cup this Saturday (7pm start) as the BMR Rockets set their targets on Swindon. From a visitor perspective, all eyes will be glued on back-to-back World No.5 – and “Mr Unlucky” in 2016 – Jason Doyle, who heads up the Swindon averages with a converted 13.41 average. Key back-up is provided by World Cup international Nick Morris and flying Frenchman David Bellego, with the second string positions filled by New Zealand national champion Bradley-Wilson Dean and 2016 World U-21 Finalist Adam Ellis. The Robins’ reserves are 2015 Finalist Emil Grondal and 19 year old Bristolian Zach Wajtknecht. For their part, the Rockets have agreed that Rob Branford can ride for his Championship club Sheffield that night, but have called up Rye House asset Ben Morley as cover. The Southender’s all-inclusive average around the Hoddesdon circuit last season was virtually on a par with Branford’s – and not far off that of Rider of the Year Stuart Robson! Looking ahead to the fixture, Team Manager Peter Schroeck believes that both his side and the fans can continue to feed off the energy charge of last week’s opener. “That was a truly emotional night, and just looking around at the huge crowd under the lights gave us all a huge adrenalin rush. “It also helped us to lay down an early marker for the season; a benchmark of where we want to be. From here on, it’s all about consistency so that we can deliver that type of performance every week. “And you know, despite the adrenalin rush, there was also a calmness in the pits last week that was instilled by the likes of Scotty (Nicholls) and Bomber (Chris Harris), who are just so professional. That can only be good for this Team.” As for specific goals on Saturday, Schroeck says, “I’m looking for a minimum of a ten point lead to take to Swindon. There is no Tactical Ride facility in this competition, so if we perform the way we did last week there is no reason why we can’t take that sort of cushion to Blunsdon. Schroeck is also looking forward to welcoming 2016 Rocket Ben Morley back on a temporary basis. “Ben is so hot around Rye House; he has done as many laps around that track as Eddie (Kennett). He was almost the forgotten hero last year; he had a very good season, but he did it quietly. Saturday will be the perfect opportunity for him to put himself in the picture for a Premiership or Championship spot later on in the season.” The second leg of the tie is in Wiltshire next Thursday night. BMR Rockets:Chris Harris, Edward Kennett (captain), Ben Morley (guest), Scott Nicholls, Ellis Perks, Stuart Robson, Davey WattSwindon:David Bellego, Adam Ellis, Emil Grondal, Jason Doyle, Nick Morris, Zach Wajtknecht, Bradley Wilson-Dean Admission: Adults £18, Seniors (over 60s) £16, Full Time Students (17-22) £10, Children (12-16) £6, Children (under 12) Free. Match Programme £2.00 In addition to the main event, the meeting will be preceded by six youth races across 150cc and 250cc classifications. FLAT TRACK THIS SUNDAY! Rye House Stadium plays host to the first round of the eight event Maxxis Flat Track Nationals this Sunday. Featuring 12 rider races, the meeting is set to be split into two halves. The morning event will consist of Minibikes, Rookies, Restricted (Intermediate) and Junior youth groups. The second incorporates Pro, Thunderbike, Vintage and Youth Inters and Seniors. The meeting starts at 11am, and admission is FREE.

Guest Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: By CRAIG SAUL :::::::: BRANNY BACK TO ROCK ROBINS! A late change to tomorrow night’s roster has seen Rob Branford – originally double-booked and earmarked to ride for parallel club Sheffield in the Championship – back in the BMR Rockets’ team that will tackle Swindon in the Knock-Out Cup. Branford will take his place in his regular No.6 slot – with planned guest Ben Morley no longer required – as the Rockets aim to build a healthy first leg lead to take to Wiltshire next Thursday in the return. The Robins have also made a change, with Adam Ellis diagnosed with a broken scaphoid after suffering a fall last night against Belle Vue. Swindon will operate Rider-Replacement as coverage, and with Ellis third in their averages will have plenty of options there. Revised line-ups: BMR Rockets:Rob Branford, Chris Harris, Edward Kennett (captain), Scott Nicholls, Ellis Perks, Stuart Robson, Davey WattSwindon:David Bellego, Adam Ellis R/R, Emil Grondal, Jason Doyle, Nick Morris, Zach Wajtknecht, Bradley Wilson-Dean Edited April 23, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
