Shadders

What drugs are you on today?

The real success stories are clubs like Buxton & Mildenhall, that despite being out in the middle of nowhere and surviving on a shoestring budget, are still going.

What success?

No $hit Sherlock

I take exception to the thread title. Anyone who still has a team to watch is a winner. The losers are supporters of Newport, Hull, Oxford, Reading, Exeter etc...

Couldn't give a stuff. Winner should be team that finished top of the league.

I prefer the 20 heat format, winner takes all, rather than the semi & final which can sometimes be unfair. Danny Halsey was a surprise winner for me in 2014, but I can't see him making the podium this time. Engine failures & exclusions can play a part, but I can't see past Morley, Wilson-Dean, Branford, Ellis & Clegg, with Hughes an outside chance. My prediction: 1st-Ellis; 2nd-Branford; 3rd-Morley

Unbeatable at home

You could probably say that for a few riders in every side

Cutting it very fine. Any significant rain and their in trouble. Season should start earlier. Final should be early October

That's what we were led to believe when Warren Scott bought into the club. Len Silver was to run the speedway, Warren Scott the stadium. A few weeks ago, the two Swedes were released to sign Robert Lambert. That was not Len Silvers decision

Now the temperature has cooled it should be ok. We had a double header on Saturday with very little dust.

Let's hope the Arlington track isn't as dusty as when Rye were last there in June

In that case they'll be little interest. Also, Len announced a massive firework display. I'm expecting one huge firework, then the floodlights come back on

That's not confirmed How are you gonna compete with NL clubs paying 17 year old reserves £50 a point?

I'll have a tenner with ya. Name your own price

October speedway at Rye House. A welcome change

Don't bet on it. The new promoters floated the idea to Len Silver providing he could attract a decent line up, but he wasn't s'posed to announce it yet.

How many genuine world class riders are there on the Elite League?

Even more surprising then

Thoroughly enjoy my visits to West Row. I'm attempting to shed a few pounds, so couldn't indulge, but the fish & chips are the best anywhere in speedway. If only the poly trays were larger. One hour and twenty minutes for a NL meeting is excellent

Maybe in the past, but he ain't paying the bills now

What d'ya expect on the back of watching four defeats in three days? We'd most probably be very similar to Buxton if Len Silver hadn't pitched up

The Rockets 2015 side has been plagued by injuries virtually since the start of the season. We haven't been able to put out the named 1-7 since late March. Boxall, Lykke and Mellgren have all had long term injuries at one stage or another. Luke Bowen quit and left us in the sh*t. Aspegren had time off when his partner gave birth to their first child. He's not been the same since. We even lost Edward Kennett for a few meetings with the ridiculous "deal" between Len Silver and Lakeside. Lykke, Jakobsen, Lambert & Maassen have been carrying injuries for weeks. Anders Mellgren is riding with a steel rod in his back after breaking it. The only rider who's escaped injury has been Edward Kennett. Rockets fans have had to put up with this all year and you're complaining about one poor meeting. If it wasn't for your rich benefactors you'd have weeds growing over your track and have sod all speedway to watch.... Glasgow fans can count themselves lucky.
