Ryes 1st home match since the introduction of the new air fence. did it spoil anyones views of the action?

At Peterboro Garrity was at 4 with Matt at 3.

Looked like Fisher went down on his own in Heat 13 after Kennett got the drop on him into the 1st bend.Agree about Heat 1 regarding Blackbird. Thought Boxall and Blackbird coming together was 50/50. Impressed by Lewis looked better than his 2 pts scored but disappointed by Garrity only a single pt, Rye House release says bike problems, hope that's right. Boxall looked good even on his 2nd bike.

So we start the season with good old R/R, Luke and Rambo are going to busy!

When will Jason be back in the Uk?

How many matches will Andre have to complete before he gets a new average? Is it 3 Home and 3 Away?

I just hope we get some sensible admission prices this time round if the raiders do go ahead. Got to be a maximum of £10 entrance with kids free upto 16. Remember a few seasons back when Len had free entrance for the Raiders. Only a couple of times but it really brought the crowds in.

In the who is eligible thread in National League section a post appears regarding Simon Lambert who has a place in the EL and PL and is still hoping to do NL. Maybe Steve will be allowed to do all three leagues. I would guess it will sorted at the NL AGM.

Simon finished 2012 on 5.19 but now only has a 3 average.

Could Len be a promoter of both clubs?

i have read that the doubling up riders like Cook amd Doyle will next season have to give their Elite clubs priority over their Premier clubs. how the reserves will work could be the same or totally the opposte.

In that case no NL for Blackbird, Morris's and Wright from the original list.

According to Last green sheet averages Adam had a 8.90 average. If that is 0.25 over the allowed allowance the following riders would also not be allowed to do N L next year. Blackbird 10.49 Morris's 8.83 Starke 9.93 Boxall 9.56 Jacobs 8.71 Wright 10.37 and Robert Lambert who finished on 10.30

Who prepares the track?

Will the matches that Eddie rode for Berwick count towards the rolling averages ?

I would have thought that any rider deemed good enough to go straight in as a Premier League reserve which Adam did with Ipswich last season is hardly a 3pt NL reserve.

I wonder if the new rules changes will have any effect on the shape of our team. Will Garrity, Boxall, Bowen make the lists being compiled as Elite reserves?

Watched him in the play offs against Dudley, thought at 1st he was the mascot. Awful in the reserves race, so slow from the gate. As the meeting went he got better and better and headed Blackbird in one race before it was stopped, I think he then led Blackbird again in he restart only slide off on bend 3. Certainly a good prospect at reserve.

Any relation to Tommy or Olly?

Cant use Steve Worrall. He has NEG PL behind his name in the offical averages which I believe means he can't be used to replace a PL lowest scoring reserve.

National League Team Declarations last sheet 26-9-13 shows Kingston in main part of team. http://www.speedwaygb.co/nlaverages13.html

Noticed that Coles has dropped to reserve and Kingston up into main part of the team. Reference BSPA site.

Are people in favour of the current doubling up system? Do you agree that people happy like Jason Doyle, Craig Cook and Ben Barker should be allowed to continue in the Premier league?

Won the KO cup at Rye in the 2nd leg, not the same winning the trophy away from home, only ever a handful of away supporters. If I was a rebels fan I would much rather have the 2nd leg at home.
