No chance, I'd miss the racing

When it first opened it was arguably the best in speedway (Mildenhall fans may argue this), but a couple of years ago they switched from fresh cod fillets to frozen battered and boy does it notice. The queues that used to stretch out of the door have dwindled to nothing. They often sell out of fish & pies before the meeting starts, usually only sausages and chips left. More Rye House cost cutting. I had 24 years experience in the fish & chip trade. All they had to do was ask. My consultancy fees would be minimal. A kind of cut price Gordon Ramsey. Far better choice in the cabin under the refs box.

I wasn't such a frequent visitor in the last season. Just married and a kid on the way, plus my then missus wasn't such a speedway fan. Hard to say which team is worst, but I'm feeling it more now as I'm more of a fan than I was back then.

Can't disagree with any of Westhamboys post. Like a few others I travel all over the country supporting my team, spending a small fortune in the process. To be slagged off by Silver for having the gall to criticise his team selection, track prep and general mishandling of the Rye House Rockets, turning us from the envy of the Premier League to a laughing stock in just a few years is an insult to and all Rockets fans. He banished the supporters club almost as soon as he took over in the late 90's, so where else can we air our grievances and frustrations other than on the inter web? He's really lost touch in what we really want, as the dwindling gates have shown I'd also like to apologise for any immediate post match rantings concerning Edinburgh Speedway. This was borne out of a mixture of frustration, some upsetting news from Berwick (not speedway related) and some very strong Somerset farmhouse cider. What I should've said was, well done to the Monarchs on their win. This is where we should be right now, not battling Sheffield for the wooden spoon.

As much as I love my club and will defend them until I'm blue in the face, I can't defend that crap last night. Easily dispatched a poor Peterborough side on Wednesday, but here's a measure of where we are now. Completely unacceptable.

It's Newport all over again. At least you went out on a high. We've had a slow steady death

Can you return the lifeboat when you've finished with it please

Real eye opener tonight. Edinburgh are where we were 8 or 9 years ago. Now we're a laughing stock, while Silver seems happy to let teams come here and humiliate us. It's obvious the place is being run down for closure.

Cheque book speedway is the winner

Think you're right. Their top 4 will be too strong for us

Len Silver doesn't I certainly don't think it's cheating.

Luke Bowens carrying an injury too. Should be a feisty old meeting. Looking forward to it

3 v 3You're glad to beat anyone these days Oliver at 6, Luke at 7 usually. Edinburgh need shooting if they don't win this comfortably

Just seen how much Edinburgh are charging for next Fridays double header. £27!!!!! You gotta be f***ing joking!!!!

No surprise Somerset playing a crafty old game. Bandits dominating early on, so the Rebels didn't put a drop of water on the track throughout the meeting, turning it into a dust bowl, which suited the home side. That Nick Morris, what a dirty bastard

If he sells the lease on the stadium to the kart track and receives a tidy sum for Garrity?

I'll be surprised if Berwick score 35 points.

Redcar were very average. They were there for the taking last night. Opportunity missed.

Still think Edinburgh will be too strong, but it will be close. Nicki Barrett at number 2 could weaken us.

We're up for the Berwick meeting

Terrible choice of guest in Aaron Fox. Couldn't score a point at reserve when Edinburgh were there, so no surprise he scored bugger all at number 2. With a full strength side we'd have taken 3, possibly 4 points last night.We have Edinburgh & Scunthorpe at home as well as an away trip to Peterborough to finish off a dismal campaign. Looks like you're favourites to avoid the wooden spoon.

Never mind them, that's peed me off too. Was counting on the Comics to take a points at least away with them

Cheers

Is the guy who designed that track the same bloke who designed the one at Leicester?

But for a piss poor guest we'd have won. Hope he rides like that on Saturday. Special mention to Steve who was superb. Why can't he do that every week? Good to see all the team putting the effort in. Award winning pie & peas excellent as was the curry sauce on the chips. Good to meet up with some speedway buddies, Keith, Spud, Tracey & Pat Sharp. Thanks to Bobby for the DVD. Much appreciated.
