It's off! Rescheduled for next Saturday.

If they're as good as their 27 points a couple of weeks ago for Redcar I can only urge everyone to get behind the Diamonds...

Robert confirmed in his BikerFM interview tonight that the current thinking is to stay in Germany next year, with possible league racing in Denmark, and go straight into the Premier League. His team of choice at the moment is Rye House, who he said have been very helpful to him. He came across as very level headed and mature in his first radio interview,

Only if it rains on Wednesday...

The Raiders on -66...

Lots of name checks for Grega Hancocka and now pointing at watches, so maybe the Champ is late arriving?

After a practice session today, Jason Garrity has declared himself fit enough to ride in this match.

Admit you'd pulled a flanker all season and suck it up.

Hawkins hasn't retired - he rode for the Birmingham scratch team at Leicester last night.

Jason Garrity not riding and will also miss the U19 Championship @ Sheffield next week. Ben Morley is the guest for the Rockets and Lewis Blackbird for the Raiders.

Following the Rockets v. Witches match, Stefan Nielsen is the guest for Jason Garrity after replacing Cameron Heeps in the first match.

The 8th Rocket, Jason Doyle, guests for Charlie Gjedde and Ben Morley for Jason Garrity. Stefan Nielsen has a busy evening as he replaces Garrity for the Raiders against the Islanders.

Theo Pijper guests for Charlie Gjedde and James Sarjeant for Jason Garrity.

It's 72 hours.

...so Simon Lambert's a Rocket again... http://www.ryehouse....After-All!.aspx

Simon's current average (listed under Leicester) is 5.19 which replaces Ritchie's 5.38, so no problem there.

It's 4 & 4.

Amazingly, Len has done the sensible thing and signed 18yo Dane Kasper Lykke Nielsen on recommendation from Charlie Gjedde. Even more amazingly, he's been signed on condition that he rides in the rest of this season's meetings to start 2013 with a real average. Full story at http://www.ryehouse....n-New-Dane.aspx

Wasn't he seen at Malilla during the World Cup?

He came out a couple of times later on and normal service was resumed - smooth and fast as usual.

Saturday's AJL match at Rye House was 3 rider teams over 4 heats, which we were told was allowed under league rules as well as the 4 rider/6 heat format.

That's the normal way, but Len does it his way. Probably still can't find the headed notepaper either...

With Shane Hazelden and James Sarjeant committed to the re-staging of the U21 semi at Stoke, Ritchie Hawkins and Jason Garrity are 'promoted' into the Raiders team in order to "test equipment". Rye House : Tom Braddock, Luke Chessell, Jason Garrity, Ritchie Hawkins, Nick Lee, David Mason, Ben Morley. USA Future : Dylan Black, Mike Buman, Aaron Fox, Russell Green, Gino Manzares, Brad Pappalardo, Bryce Starks. To be followed by Milton Keynes Knights v Coventry Mercia Vikings in the MDL.
