    • Some comments on social media have suggested that members of RHAG cannot be trusted, that individuals are looking to make a profit, or that we are simply “getting the begging bowl out”. Nothing could be further from the truth.   No one is profiting from this. The suggestion that anyone from the group is doing so is insulting to the number of people who have worked tirelessly, given their time and committed their own money to get us to this position over the last 7 years.   Do you realise the time, effort and money that has already gone into reaching the point where the group is a Rule 6 party and hopes to instruct a leading KC to fight for the stadium and track at the Planning Inquiry?   The stadium could have been long gone six years ago, with football pitches potentially in its place. Instead, a number of people have continued to fight to keep the stadium and its future as a sporting venue alive — particularly when dealing with individuals whose spiteful actions have shown little regard for planning laws or the importance of protecting a long-standing community asset.   This is part of the wider problem with speedway in this country. Too often, people believe that signing a petition or submitting an objection on a council planning portal is enough. It isn’t. That is one reason why the sport has lost so many tracks over the past 40 years. The governing body and much of the fanbase have, too often, stood by and accepted the loss of tracks rather than fighting to protect them.   To fight effectively in the planning system, you need professional expertise. Lawyers, planning specialists and other professionals need to be paid for their time and expertise. That is where donations are going. Positive thoughts aren't going to help.   So rather than criticising those who have got off their backsides and put their own time, money and effort into trying to save Rye House, perhaps they should be supported. We don't require any thanks or a pat on the back. Just send a small donation.   If you have ever followed Rye House, supported the Rockets, earned a few quid out of the club or have an emotional connection to the club and stadium, consider donating the equivalent of the price of an admission for one match, a round of drinks or a takeaway. If you choose not to donate, or simply aren’t bothered, that’s entirely your choice. But don’t criticise those who have put their own time, money and effort into fighting for Rye House, and then complain about speedway continually losing tracks or say how much of a shame it was to see what happened at Rye House.   Forget the individuals. Put your donation into the fight for this 90-year-old club and stadium.   Once it’s gone, it’s gone. https://gofund.me/89d0fc2dc

    • How utterly boring, last winter was far more interesting than the actual season which is about to conclude 🥹. Putting fans of clubs through torture should be an essential ingredient of the sport, after all what will there be to talk about for 4 months if everything's cut and dried by end of November? 
    • Richard made a point about the tribal nature of the Polish fans and it was something to work on over here. He’s also touch on the fact social media should be improved,  both frequency and content. I know how he feels when dealing with the BSPL cartel as I get the very same with the many cartelesq members on here. We will push on though. 
    • Do not think he signed for Sheffield, signed for Kings Lynn and guested for Sheffield. He signed for Belle Vue but only for the play offs. 
    • apart from those times he signed for Belle Vue and Sheffield of course.
