Why is anyone surprised by Twatchelor or Holders actions? Twatchelor has been a whiny, moaning brat ever since he started riding in this country. Wouldn't give the guy the steam off my piss if he was cold. He's a tart & faking injury is no surprise from him. His performance tonight at BV shows his contempt for Kings Lynn & British speedway. Holder has lost his bottle since his crash in 2012 & knows he'll never be the same rider so is just trying to earn a living now by staying out of harms way. He won't put his body on the line anymore hence refusing to ride. Both should be banned until the end of the season for bringing the sport into disrepute.

Nicholls is dreadful in the studio. Boring, dead pan & frightened to say anything controversial about any issue incase of upsetting someone. Waste of time & end up turning over in between rounds of heats when he's talking. He needs replacing asap. Quirk is ok & at least has a knowledge of the sport but is a bit too nice with Nicholls & can't get anything out of him. Tatum very good in his role & knows what he's talking about. Puts Pearson in his place as well at times. Pearson is too much of a kiss arse & is too close to the riders. He's a bit precious & obviously doesn't like any criticism of the himself, the sport or his favourite riders. Someone like a Darren Fletcher with Tatum would be ideal, although doubt he'd do it with EPL commentaries.

Predictable. No one will touch Poland for years now. Maybe the Aussies in 3/4 years time with Kurtz, Holder & Fricke, but the conveyor belt looks frightening in Polish speedway. Everything is on a different level compared with the rest of the leagues. GB expected. Clueless on these sorts of proper speedway tracks. Bikes aren't fast enough, ride the wrong lines & look as though they have no idea about set ups. Cook embarrassing. Looked as if they were sh1tting themselves the first four heats with the occasion and crowd. Let's be honest, if we weren't always drawn at home against crap oppo then we're 6/7th in the world. Let's see how we do if we are at an away track next year in round one without the Aussies & the USA. Rosco has had it nice these past two years with a bye to the final & Woffinden claiming silver on his own & this year with a dire oppo in a home 1st round. If our best rider is refusing to ride because of him then it's best he steps down.

Barker & Sedgman? Christ, wasn't really worth it. Barker a brainless nob & Sedgman a gating tart. Doesn't really do anything to improve the side. Harris & Barker being paired shows how stupid schroeck is, they both want to ride the same part of the track. Was it worth sacking a rider who has been very loyal to the club over many years(last week not acceptable) & a young rider who the club should be wanting to use for years to come? Wells, Branford & a veteran Robbo should have been the ones at the front to be released. Promotion have had a nightmare. They have tried bless them, but fkd up badly. They are too naive in the goings on in the sport.

Kennett & Perks gone by the looks of it. Not sure the new promotion have a massive knowledge of foreign riders, so sure it will be riders based over here. Would like to see Linus Sundstrom come in if possible. Milik is a steal on his average. If it's along the lines of Barker, Sedgman it's pointless. Must be numbers with Perks as he's been excellent.

Hammer1969 has put you in your place above. If he's decided to do it after he's signed a contract at Rye then it's awful by both parties. The promotion for accepting it & Ed for clearly not being bothered about riding for the club. If that's the captains attitude then no wonder the wheels are falling off. Why did the promotion not inform the fans of this cock up as well?

So the Rye promotion have been idiots scheduling the fixture & having no facility for a rider. Someone needs to be employed who knows what their doing at the club.

Why would the Rye promotion agree to this fixture if they knew of the absence? Longtrack schedule would have been available well before British speedway fixtures. Or has Kennett just cried off? Either the Rye promotion have shown their naivety again or the captain has set a very poor example?

As I said, the wheels will fall off now. The new promotion are too naive & don't know enough about the sport. To accept the captain not being bothered to ride at Belle Vue & having no facility says it all. Jenson & Schroeck, especially, leading the club is a disaster.

Wheels are coming off. No idea about averages(seems a complete bulls up), but Kennett needs to be away from the number 1 position. I said before the start of the season that if Ed was named at number 1 it would end in tears. To be fair the home form has just about held together, but it's not convincing & if no changes then Rye will drift away from the play off places for the rest of the season. The away form is poor & this side will never have enough heat winners against better sides. Would be looking at changes when the new averages are released.

Robbo in heat 15? Schroeck again showing he has no idea. Blokes clueless. Rye team plainly not strong enough & riders like Nicholls, Wells & Branford should be looking over their shoulders. Not doing their jobs.

Stupidity from the promotion arranging the fixture on a off night before a GP qualification that's been in the diary for many, many months. The sport just doesn't help itself with this sort of ineptitude. Weakened teams and missing riders just pisses fans off. Not good from the Rye promotion that they didn't book Kurtz before Belle Vue either.

No he's not the obvious choice. He's had plenty of previous goes and done nothing. The lad can't ride foreign tracks, pointless sending him. Lambert has a chance in the future, he should have been used over someone who won one meeting on a rain soaked track.

Look at the difference in attitude between Doyle & Woffiden. Woffinden says he's "happy to make semis", back out of tight first bends and perform cut backs galore as he doesn't want to get involved in the first corner. You can only do that for so long before you get found out. Woffinden out the gate last season and the start of this has been dreadful & the dopey tape touch summed him up tonight. Doyle on the other hand is willing to put his body on the line & is only bothered about winning. Doyle is the benchmark at the moment & Woffinden is nowhere near him. I personally feel the stick Woffiden has got off many British fans has had an affect on him. He's made too many bad decisions in the last two years and has come across as an arrogant cock.

Why was King picked to do a round? Complete waste of time and has probably had 8 goes at the qualifiers over the years and been crap every year. Knowing British speedway, it wouldn't surprise if King was picked over Lambert.

Another awful away showing. Rye won't get a point away all season. A heatleader trio of Kennett, Harris & Nicholls will never get enough heat wins. Any chance of being competitive away & the team will have to be ripped apart & can't see that happening. Wouldn't be at all shocked if Somerset win at Rye tomorrow.

Get rid of Schroeck. Liability.

Another mess by Peter Schroeck. The guy is a dreadful team manager & has no idea what he's doing. Strongest r/r rider in heat 1? Wally. Absolute mess with tacticals & more b0llocks quotes from him after the meeting. Why no number 8 named? Get rid. Will be surprised if Rye pick up a point away all season, not enough heat winners. Will have to do a Lakeside & win all home meetings for a chance of the play offs. Puts a lot of pressure on home meetings.

Good to see the promotion haven't hung around. Watt was never getting back to where he was a few years ago. Wells seems to have stepped up a level & should settle quickly. Goes well around Rye and should make the team much more solid.

Always thought Lynn is on the narrow side. You can't get two riders going in to a corner together side by side. Could certainly do with coming in a few feet around the kerb.

If I'm on a bike doing 60mph with no brakes and three other blokes near me, the last thing I'm worrying about in those 60 seconds is whether my Mrs is jumping up and down on another bloke. If he's that fragile he shouldn't be riding anymore.

Wouldn't want Barker, bit of a nob. Don't think him and Edward get on too well either. Wells has always rode Rye well. Lawson or Jorgensen would be good signings but both ride for Saturday tracks. Would stay away from double uppers anyway as will miss too many meetings. Wouldn't be against Busk Jackobsen returning. Looked to be on the verge of turning into a top talent in his first season at Rye before he ended up at Peterborough, which didn't work out.

Head-No confidence. Scott Nicholls quoted in the local paper that's it mental. Just from watching you can see he's tentative and riding the wrong lines(you need to be on the fence at Rye) and he won't go anywhere near it. The promotion cannot allow him to get an average as that will kill our season. I would get rid now but doubt our promotion will be that ruthless. Not a particularly good meeting. Track way too slick again and was all down to gating. Harris mentioned in the local paper about needing to buy more shale and that's what needs to happen. The inside half of track is unusable as there is nothing but concrete and you end up going backwards if you stay low. No problem with racing at Rye when there is enough dirt down but that's becoming less and less unfortunately. Not surprised someone had a fall, health and safety would have a field day at Rye at the moment. It's a very uncomfortable place to watch speedway at the moment and isn't acceptable for the crowds we are getting(2500+). It's not going to be a quick process but it's certainly not going to impress any newbies. Always nice to beat Lynn though and read the sour grape comments from them. Reminds me of the old PL days. Not as much Lynn support as there used to be on the first turn.

Fancy Lynn to win tomorrow. Two home defeats in the first three fixtures would be very damaging for business. With Poole then visiting the week after it looks even worse. Season could be over by end of April. The problem is Robbo and Watt are taking up nearly 15 points on averages & are nowhere near that. We do not have enough heat winners away from home either all season with this team. I don't trust the promotion to make changes if it all goes ** up. Jenson & Schroeck seem very wet behind the ears still.

Wasn't a fan of Schroeck last season, poor team manager for me. Afraid to take struggling riders out of heats, seems too matey with the riders and seems to lack knowledge of the sport/current riders. Seems a bit weak and if he allowed Branford to ride for Sheffield he should be stood down. Cost the club and riders money as now no extra meetings in the cup plus the damage of an early home defeat to the club.
