The fact that Birmingham were able to sweep up some of best talent available including Rye's Hume is a big benefit and good luck to them. Len Silver always tried similar for the raiders. I would never criticise Young riders who are learning the sport - some have developed much quicker than others. We saw Bewley at Rye and he was superb for someone so inexperienced. I suppose having a Premier team to support puts the National league into perspective for some supporters and that's where Birmingham should now aim for.

Quite why Drury wanted to sign Hall when he has such a talented team is baffling Win at all costs should not be in a development league irrespective that Brum are a stand alone club. Rye House have used this league to introduce many young riders into the sport unfortunately the attrition level has always been against a lot and they fall by the wayside such is the tough sport it is.

I remember going to USA verses England in the 80's and the support for US riders was increadiable!

Why is Chris Holder a shadow of his former now in the UK last night his actions and comments were a sharp chritisim to Poole. If he's lost the passion for the UK then go as his Poland score of 15 from 5 on Sunday and GP standing clearly show he has intentions elsewhere!

I thought Etheridge was very luck to stay in Heat 14 after causing carnage in the first corner

The track does need a more consistent surface watching Kasper and Heeps giving it a full handful into the bends but not getting the rewards is annoying. But that's the 3rd meeting now that rain has been forecast to arrive so it's always going to be a lottery.

Maybe a little patience is called for and realise that the Monarchs are not going to win everything again this season. Unless we give young riders their chance what future will the sport have!

More Like the BSPA didn't expect the 3pointers to average more than that! Remember 2006 when Boxall and Armstrong were 'forced' by the BSPA to move into the team from reserve when they stated at the start of the Season that both 6 and 7 would stay at reserve all season.

Might be why media have no interest in Speedway these days.

He will burn out or worse injury with too many meetings especially 7 rides each time so best he concentrates on NL this year.

The Risager and Sargeant pairing looks a bit suspect

Surely the way to improve your team is to invest time in the riders and get the track the way everybody likes it.

He clearly needs some intensive training to get up to good NL standard. Danny Ayres scores 5 plus 1 at Sheffield of all places and shows that given encouragement there are riders in our leagues that can do a good job.

I'm sure if Peterborough can get Cook into their team on the premise of moving their dedicated race day then Rye Must seek to replace Peter with Rob Branford - a National league rider for an overseas import.

'An average Ipswich ' who were good enough to beat Sheffield and Peterborough... Give them a bit of credit !!

I hope your new number one gets his full quota of rides!

If they ruled that you could only change a team through injury to a rider it would remove all this nonsense.

I'm sure I saw Sargeant last night on TV.....

Rye riders don't seem to be getting much track time apart from Morley so that could have a bearing on the performance.

drop into the Premier league and 'ground share'

''Win at all cost' Poole Pirates underachieve away from home again. Adam Ellis gets moved into the team proper and now has 3 riders a meeting. Grief!

If you have deep pockets (MF) and a nice place to live (especially for Aussies) then you seem to be able to maintain a good team. People then talk about combining the EL and PL but the losers will be EL supporters who will feel hard done by with their lot!. However it probably will have to happen one day with doubling up and down going the way it is.

Shouldn't the bloke who came second in an FIM meeting on Saturday ride in a slightly more difficult position in the team? Lunatics and asylum come to mind!

Definitely a Woffenden or Lambert in the making so quick and control for a lad with little speedway experience. I hope he takes the Woffie approach and rides National and Premier for a couple of years and has fun but no doubt Belle Aces will want to promote him as the 'new' Peter Collins'

So you have never heard of riders improving? Quite how you would have put up with the Rye teams of the 70's it took years to produce the great team of 1980.I accept the current side will struggle against the majority of sides who seem to have 4 good riders and its why Rye needed strong reserves. They can't carry Peter in the hope he will improve I'm afraid.
