  1. Don't touch the stuff these days. Healthy eating and all that. Was in the fish & chip game for over 24 years and I know a decent bit of cod when I see it. The stuff they serve at Rye I wouldn't feed to pigs. Baby grows I've been promised by the track shop people. Fingers crossed. Missus already had Bandits stuff for the new arrival.
  2. Add to that the poor quality of the fish from the chip bar (to my eye it looks like frozen breaded) and you can see how the place is slowly going to the dogs. Saying that, all I want is a winning team. I can eat before or after the speedway.Can I just add that the track shop has improved 100% since the new people took over. If only they sold Rye House baby grows
  3. Can't ever see that happening. The rent for the new promotion would be a huge stumbling block and I assume Silver would still want all the income from the catering. Wouldn't be financially viable.
  4. I'd gladly take him at Rye House in place of Tres, but wouldn't fit in average wise unfortunately, unless we swooped the ever injured Stefan Nielsen and replaced him with a 3 pointer
  5. If the promoter won't even listen to his riders, he ain't gonna listen to anyone else
  6. Obviously I wasn't there, but I was at Sheffield on Thursday where David Bellego was superb. Dunno what happened to him tonight.
  7. I know of at least one supporter who was off to the Black & Gold after heat 10
  8. On a 10+ average? How ya gonna manage that?
  9. I'm not surprised to hear there was a stampede for the exits well before the end. Berwick folk have gotta be the most fickle fans in speedway.
  10. As far as I know it's still there. The weather forecast was for heavy rain around 4pm with light rain before that. As we know the forecasts are often incorrect as weather can be localised. In this case the forecast heavy rain didn't materialise
  11. The problem with Berwick speedway is they focus too much on getting things right for the marquee FIM & Sky meetings, but neglect the bread & butter of the Premier League.
  12. Hasn't rained in Hoddesdon since 3pm and was only light rain before that. The track needs a serious overhaul if it can't take a few drops of rain
  13. Bellego was superb at Sheffield Thursday night. Very unlucky not to go through the card unbeaten
  14. Hope the last comment isn't true, although I can see it happening. It's not so much the lack of dirt, it's the lack of grip. Too much dirt would make it difficult for the bikes to turn on the tight bends. It's a watering issue
  15. Tres was a panic signing to cover for the Tyson Nelson visa fiasco. He's hardly set the place on fire. Will he be replaced? Probably not given the promotions reluctance to release underperforming riders and with the season over before the end of June there's hardly any point. Nice fella by all accounts, but so is Mr Patel down at our local pizza take away. I've got his number if Silver wants it. He even owns his own moped
  16. Can't believe some of the stuff that coming out of Rye House these days. Jason Bunyan loses the captaincy because he lacks motivational skills. Surely the team manager should be doing that? The riders are unhappy with the track set up, that's a fact. Who knows better how the track should be prepared, someone who races on it every week, or someone who hasn't had a competitive race for fifty years? Redcar are down at Plymouth tonight, so an early rain of wouldn't be necessary. Best to wait until early afternoon and see how the weather is.
  17. This is getting beyond ridiculous now. Bite the bullet and say, merci Tres and au revoir. Anders Mellgren has tweeted that he's almost ready to return to racing. Would he fit in the side with a 3 pointer minus Tres & Stefan?
  18. Yeah, we had the message through around 9am. Hopefully a quick whizz round Mothercare, then it's off daaan saaaf. I'm sure we'll be down for the rearranged date in September. Interesting to read that Plymouth are still running tonight. Must be very localised rain in the West Country
  19. Nobody put on the deck, just some pushing and shoving with some old boy from the crowd trying to get involved. Nothing to it really
