what size crowd did Rye get Saturday?

The same can be said for the Raiders, Woods and the reserves need to score for us to stand a chance. Seen The Raiders 3 times this season.1st meeting Sam looked OK against Stoke but didn't score well only 1 but looked to improved from last year.2nd meeting against Kings Lynn he had vastly improved scored 8, but his last one against Coventry scored only 2 and seemed off the pace. Hume seems the better of the 2 reserves as he can gate but is prone to over trying and dropping points. Bowtell is the interesting one, can't gate to save his life but seems fast at times and can only get better with more and more matches. A big learning experience for all the team. Hope to see a bigger Raiders crowd this week because the racing at times is very good. Gutted I can't make this weekend.

Is Luke Priest back for Rye? I'm sure Luke or R/R will do better than the 1pt Brendon Johnson got last time at Arlington. Eastbourne won by 20 last time, my prediction this time is Rye to lose by 10.

I always thought that NL 4's took priority, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Rob Brandford would be missing for Rye as he had a match for Edinburgh.

Suggest everyone takes a spare pen.

Belle Vue won at Lakeside, good choice of guests can win you a meeting.

Anyone know what Berwicks team is likely to be? Is this a league or cup match?

Apologies for being in the Rye House thread, but Luke Bowen had a practice around Peterborough after Mondays meeting. Thought people might be interested to know.

Poor showing by Sam Woods this week, totally different rider to the one I saw last week. Interested to see that he was out after the meeting doing some practice laps with George Hunter. Perhaps he had bike issues during the meeting and was trying to sort them out.

Reserves threw away some points again but i thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. Pity the crowd wasn't bigger to see the a very close fought match. Well done to both sides.

Should be a close match tonight, Rye using R/R for Priest tonight strengthens them Branford also being able to take a ride. Greenwood should go well for Coventry and also Crang who got vital experience last week riding at No1 for Workington. Much will depend on the Rye reserves, hope they can stay on their bikes for all 4 laps.

Strong wind blowing down the straights towards the pits bend. I guess that's where the texter was viewing the match from. Took far too long to get the meeting going after the interval, track dried out too quickly due to the strong wind. Track staff were not resdy to resume straight away as Len demolished the starting tapes with the tractor .

Unlucky that Hansen was missing, but rye covered the R/R with a 9+3, whereas Worky only got 7 for Howarths rides. Well done Mr Sampford.

Impressed with the Raiders last night, thought Kyle was unlucky not to get the nod in Ht 15 over Luke. Sam Woods much improved since the last time I see him , the home match against Stoke. Reserves still looking unsteady but again much better this time out. Hume seemed pleased with his Heat 8 win. Branford and Hughes both team rode their less experienced partners for impressive 5-1's. Well done, good to see at this level.

I'm sure you're right that the crowd will be poor tonight.Think tomorrows crowd size will depend on what size a lead Worky will have. I'm still going to both whatever happens and will hoping for win double. Think that in both matches the reserves will be the deciding factor.

KL must be confident of a win tonight after last nights win over Stoke. Will be interested to see what size of crowd we will get tonight, bearing in mind the Rockets are at home tomorrow at 5pm start.

No way Ryes Reserves are not going to get a F or FX against them on the tight cornered Eastbourne circuit.

What size crowd was it?

Should be Kurtz for Robert Lambert, Simon Rides at reserve. Why is Robert not riding?

Why was Starke not riding?

Luke was 2nd in the averages so all the raiders can have an extra ride.

Covatti and Branford according to the local paper.

I thought a NEW rule was brought in at this years AGM about riders only being allowed to double for another 2 years and then they would have to decide about which league to ride in.

Could we have used Rob Branford instead of Covatti as a replacement for Kasper?
