Shadders

A bit before my time. Only started going in 1985. The 2005 Rockets side was something special, but they were different times. One question I always wanted to ask. Why did Karl Fiala retire so early, mid 20's I believe? It's a lot tougher to bring through young local talent now. The equipment is way to expensive these days

He won't wanna lose to his son again. Last time must've been embarrassing

Free pies?

There's no doubt Tungate caused Auty to fall. I'm pretty sure he meant to show him his back wheel. I can't believe he meant Auty to fall though. Only a mad man would deliberately use his bike to injure another rider

I'll never forget his guest appearance for us at Ipswich. Four starts and I don't think he completed half a dozen laps in total

The Raiders are hot at the moment, Kent are not. Off the back of the demolition of Mildenhall at West Row on Sunday, no wonder the Kent promotion don't fancy it

You will have the rare sight of Alex Edberg completing all of his heats

Oh, they'll get round alright, just a lot slower than your riders

Crowds are definitely on the wane at most tracks. Glasgow are probably the exception due to the massive influx of new money, but even that will probably tail off. Your away fan comments are spot on. I've drastically cut down on away trips, mainly due to the costs involved. Rye used to have a Northern tour to Edinburgh/Berwick/Glasgow every year, but that's no longer running. You could guarantee 50+ Rockets fans at Berwick, but I doubt they'll be more than half a dozen there on Saturday

This is the thread for the meeting in 2011 Screm http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/9455/rye-house-2nd-july-2011

How do attendances stack up to say 10 years ago? I first visited Berwick in 2005, when crowds were regularly approaching the 800 mark

I thought as much.

I don't need the attention, I need an answer. Do you have one?

Are you going to tell us all why you had to remind us that Alex was injured 4 years ago, or are you gonna keep on digging yourself a deeper hole?

Love it when people realise they've run out of ammo and resort to pointing out grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Next patient please!

Trawling through pages and pages of threads to remind everyone that Alex Edberg had an injury four years ago isn't attention seeking? Your nuts pal

What's the point you're trying to make?

Can't believe you trawled through four years of threads to find this. Very very sad

Yep, couple of weeks before we see him again

I though Suffolk folk had great eyesight with all those carrots they crunch. How anyone who's viewed the clip can't see Tungate flick his back wheel at Auty is avin a larf!

A stottie cake walk for the Bandits. Rockets will be shell shocked after Fridays meeting at Armdump, but should line up: Kennett RR (Lykke) Mellgren Aspegren Jakobsen Bowen Maassen Mellgren, Aspegren & the reserves are eligible to take the RR rides. Expect respectable scores from Kennett and Jakobsen. Could be anything from Aspegren, depends if he gates. Don't expect much from the others. Bandits by 16-18 points, possibly more. Those of you who print out their scorecards, you can expect Aspegren to take the RR in heat 1

Cheers

Anyone have the link for BBC West Midlands coverage of this meeting please?

You're always gonna get delays in the National League, given the skill levels of some of the riders. Doesn't help when there's nothing to hold em up on the bends. What would help is less faffing around after a false start. Straight back round to the tapes, or excluded for delaying the start. Simple!!

He won't He looked decent when leading at Rye House last week
