Shadders 4,135 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Anything more than a 10 point deficit after the first leg would be tricky to pull back. I've always thought it's easier to defend a lead in the second leg. Onus is on the home team to get heat advantages. Away side just need 3-3's Edited April 5, 2017 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Countershaftcounter 360 Posted April 5, 2017 He's also had meetings there at PL level where he scored 1 point.[/quot What year was that ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Ellis rode for Ipswich at Rye in August 2014, scoring 6+1 from 4 riding at number 7 Previously, at the end of May that year, he scored 1 from 3 riding at number 6, falling in his last ride and withdrawn from the meeting. In April he had 4 rides in the league cup, scoring 6+1 from 4 including a race win in heat 2. Edited April 6, 2017 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer1969 421 Posted April 7, 2017 As we have Ben Morley as guest as Rob Branford is riding for Sheffield on Saturday anyone know if that means we will also need a guest for him in the return leg at Swindon and also for Ellis Perks as Sheffield and Redcar are both racing at home on 13th April?

Ben91 1,743 Posted April 7, 2017 Morley's probably the best guest we could have got. He knows the track and has a point to prove after being left out this year. The promotion should really be trying to buy Branford's contract from Redcar, good guests will be hard to find for Rob, particularly away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Rye House website says that Rye are allowing Rob to ride for Sheffield on Saturday, which to me indicates that Rye do have 1st call on him. No idea regarding Ellis.

No idea regarding Ellis.It says "agreed, not "allowed" on the website. RR for Ellis means they are much stronger, with Morris, BWD, Bellego and the reserves allowed to take his rides. Puts Swindon as favourites to go through in my opinion, even if we had Branford. I wouldn't be surprised if Swindon sneak a win tomorrow.
