liam 376 Posted October 20, 2017 I would have hoped all clubs that stayed in the top league dropped the prices, it was a much weaker league, if Rye House was cheaper than all the other clubs then fair play to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prince Regent 16 Posted October 20, 2017 So the most important thing about speedway is the car park!! Who said that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevtheRev 122 Posted October 20, 2017 Yep, that is what I meant. Thanks Bryce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 20, 2017 He meant that 2017 Rye House charged less for top division matches than Lakeside did in 2016.the programme is a pound less at rye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liam 376 Posted October 20, 2017 Are there still gypsies still resident in the car park at Arena Essex?Dont think so Claret but maybe ask in the South East Speedway Fans Forum aswell to see if anyone knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevtheRev 122 Posted October 20, 2017 Is that a new forum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted October 20, 2017 Dont think its new but the rumour was it was going to replace the Lakeside forum, maybe the vote on the name change didnt go well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevtheRev 122 Posted October 20, 2017 Interesting negative spin on a what was a positive question. The question was asked and the majority said no, which is absolutely fine. I was trying to engage with the customers who come onto the forum You could have asked the question yourself as you are still a member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted October 20, 2017 I am not being negative and to be honest Kev the stuff about the forum is just light hearted banter. I am just a passionate supporter of Lakeside so when I see people having a pop I just defend the club. They are not perfect and neither is Jon Cook but its still my club. I enjoyed the forum when you set it up and appreciated it. No offence is meant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Just been told on the Poole thread from someone that Lakeside have agreements with three riders with Nilsson, Zach and AJ being mentioned, or thats what is being said. Have no idea if the member has inside info as I dont look on the Poole thread normally. Edited October 21, 2017 by liam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E I Addio 15,849 Posted October 21, 2017 Just been told on the Poole thread from someone that Lakeside have agreements with three riders with Nilsson, Zach and AJ being mentioned, or thats what is being said. Have no idea if the member has inside info as I dont look on the Poole thread normally. I would be ecstatic with those three, and if Edward The Kennet was in the mix even better. Can't see AJ coming back though, but desperately hope I am wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickRushbrook 202 Posted October 21, 2017 Would be happy to see us back in the top flight but I want to see some new faces. No disrespect intended but I don't want to see the likes of Lewis Bridger and Ed Kennett in any potential line up. Smacks of 'jobs for the boys' to me. That said, I don't have many suggestions for 2018. I like Paul Starke. Proper racer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daytripper 1,123 Posted October 22, 2017 Would be happy to see us back in the top flight but I want to see some new faces.

That said, I don't have many suggestions for 2018. I like Paul Starke. Proper racer. I don't think anyone who saw Ed Kennett beating Jason Doyle at Arena in 2016 would say he is anything other than a true racer. That was probably the race of the season. Bridger I think is more less retired again. I wouldn't say no to Paul Starke but he us not really more than a fairly low second string. I'd pick Lewi Kerr above him though, not quite as good as Starke at the moment bug more potential. I think we are kidding ourselves with a return of AJ though. His converted average would probably be 12 or 13 which would take up too much of the team building total. I doubt if we will see many (or any ) big names in the top league nect year, with the possible exception of Kim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
