Craig Cooks a lucky lad. He never rode the Berwick track in the mid to late 2000's when the back straight was like a roller coaster. Compared to then it's like a billiard table now. I was at the recent KOC meeting with the Rockets where the track looked terrible after a heavy shower. Don't remember any complaints from the riders, they just got on with it. Only one faller during the entire meeting, Luke Bowen AFTER the race had finished. Cooks just a wind up merchant, nothing wrong with that as long as he's not abusive. I like Razzor, but I think he made a big mistake with his response

I had no idea you were party to the Rye House finances. I'm not saying Robert will be a Rocket next year, just that it's a possibility. Personally, I can't see it happening

The new promotion didn't take over until late 2014/early 2015, leaving little time to do much apart from the initial groundwork. I'm told they'll be on the case once the season ends, which looks like it'll be the end of September the way things are going.

That's not the point. I'm merely pointing out that you can do both. The finances are another matter

Cooks a knob, many people knew that before, now it's confirmed. Some people really should stay off of social media

A decent crowd for an NL meeting, boosted by a fair few Eagles fans. Yes, but I've only ever seen him race at Rye. Scary innit?

Spiller made the difference, no doubt about it. Apart from that the sides were pretty evenly matched. Terrific entertainment and an outstanding ride by Rob Branford in heat 13 that was worth the admission alone! Track was dust free and the atmosphere was lively. Great value for a tenner.

Eastbourne won by 4 points. Steven is perfectly correct

Nah, I was sober

2004, my first visit to Derwent Park

Jason Doyle manages both.

Are you for real?If winning meetings didn't matter they wouldn't keep the score. Somerset are doing what they think is necessary after a couple of terrible results. He'd be out on his ear.

People who saw him turn up at the pits with his bikes

To lose at home to Plymouth in front of a few hundred fans and holiday makers is bad enough, but to have your trousers taken down and bottom spanked in front of thousands of Sky viewers....

I was under the impression he turned up to the 4's with his bikes, but was told his services were not required

He's more than welcome at Rye House next year

I used this argument on another thread. You don't necessarily need passing to have a good race.

Can't remember the last time I saw the track with so little grip. Brady Kurtz usually flies around the boards on bend 2 and down the back straight. Last night he didn't. Saying that, Edinburgh's top 4 were very good, too good for the home side. I still reckon Somerset will demolish us in the KOC semi final.

Really?

Track dries out pretty quickly. Saturday forecast looks favourable

Hmmmmm..... Can't think of one, but I've only seen around a 15 meetings there since 2005, mostly against Rye House which have been one sided

Could go anyway this one. Looking forward to seeing BWD again. Would like to see how he goes if he misses the gate

I doubt Warren Scott would've invested into the project and then leave it to rot. I'm pretty sure he has major plans for the stadium and Rye House Speedway.There is a stadium manager overseeing the day to day running of the club. Problem is what happens if, heaven forbid, Len Silver can't oversee the speedway side for one reason or another. Who takes over then?

He may not have a choice

In that case there will be a few after him
