Thanks.Like you say Rye should have been bombproof.Why did the new promotion drop down a League though.Were they really bankrupt.?

Is this real? 

My understanding was more along the lines of the promotion wanting to operate at the top of the top table. The first season was a reasonable success with a Saturday race night. Season two with the fixed race night was a big problem and the money ran out (I believe). Second tier speedway with a Saturday race night was ideal for Rye House.  It was almost an unsinkable ship if managed correctly. For one reason or another it wasn’t, but the sport’s governing body should have seen it for what it was, a rare example of a club that owned its site and had no restrictions. That was worth saving for the benefit of the entire sport at almost any cost. 

I'll be absolutely gobsmacked if its not 36 for the top five. We shall see.

And of course Mulford, apologies to him for my forgetfulness.

They were conned by the Promotion coming in.They had no intention of securing Speedway at the Stadium.The riders took them to the cleaners though.IMO ( could be wrong)
