Don't know where this Kennett to Ipswich story came from. A vivid imagination I'd say

What helps is signing a rider who under performed alarmingly in 2014, then puts two points on his average the following year.

Steve Boxall was Silvers favourite, he was never gonna be dropped

That's pretty much how I remember it.He attempted to explain that he couldn't keep Doyle due to averages, but nobody believed a word of it. After a lot of disgruntled supporters took to social media and this forum to voice their disapproval, Silver used the local newspaper to verbally attack certain Rye House fans (me included). I still have the cutting... A PR disaster

Pleased to report the proper fish was back this year

Have to agree with Chris. Those who attended the Pair Of Aces meeting would've seen the healthy crowd for a nothing meeting. With an exciting winning side, the right promotion and a more up to date meeting presentation I'm sure the fans will return.

Can't believe it was a spur of the moment decision, he must've planned this weeks if not months ago. Very odd

Must be taking advice from someone surely?

It's not the fact he's gone, it's the new promotion being new to speedway that's worrying some people.

Ben Barker, really?

Len Silver reminds me a little of Arsene Wenger. Both had early success, but not much to speak of in recent years. Both very strong minded, some may say arrogant. Both like Marmite, either love em or hate em

Not sure how to feel to be honest. Len was a safe hand on the tiller, but the club was going backwards. I hope the new promoters know what they're doing

News filtering through that Len Silver has ended his association with Rye House

They changed their minds half way through the season in 2006

That's how I understood it. Seems strange to have reserve races 2 heats apart

Nope

There will be a scramble for the best 3 pointers with the top payers getting the pick of the bunch. Better to use the NFL draft system where the team that finished bottom gets first choice, 2nd bottom gets the next pick and so on

I can see a loophole regarding the "protected" heat 4. What if, for example, the number 7 has a fall, not excluded and isn't able to take his place in the rerun, but isn't signed off. Do his side go with one rider, or does the number 6 replace him? In the PL?

Regarding the track, Rye House used to be a place where no away team enjoyed to visit. Now it's more or less help yourself. It's not just the track, it's the standard of the home riders. Edinburgh seem to be pretty decent away, so you can't put it all down to home advantage.

There were a bunch of idiotic Eastbourne supporters at Rye the other week. Cheering when opposing riders fell and swearing loudly even though there were young children around. An elderly female Rye fan was abused as she walked past. Even the National League has them

Especially at £20 a ticket

Are they giving Pijper a medal? He done enough to hand Edinburgh the trophy tonight

Drop her off at the entrance and then go and park the car. I'm sure she'll be safe for a few minutes. It's not the Bronx

Restraint of trade surely? If Glasgow want to run on a Friday let them test it in the courts

They must've bought all the tickets then, cos it's a sell out
