Most of what you say I agree with Rayleigh, but look what happened at Newport. Threw loads of money at the team and won the KOC, but crowds stayed away and they folded. Sometimes throwing money at it isn't always the right thing to do. My main concern is that he's taken his eye off the ball where signing young talent is concerned. Sure, we have Jason Garrity, but where are the likes of Tai, Danny King, Edward Kennett etc.. They are around, but other sides are signing them

I believe the "experiment", was the result of cost cutting to pay for the air fence. Why else would you dispense with the services of the Swedes and re-sign Simon Lambert?The Nelson debacle didn't help, but in my opinion he would've added nothing to the side as he is too erratic and unprofessional in his attitude. He still needs to grow up before even thinking about attempting a come back. Steve Boxall is still having equipment issues. Where have we seen that before? It's a real shame. A genuine talent, no doubt. Take a look at Paul Starke and Ritchie Hawkins. Couldn't buy a point when they were with us, but now flourishing in teams that are high on confidence with a proper management set up and a professional attitude. Rye House still has the feeling of a nice little day out for Silver and his mates. It's a hobby for him. His "it's my way, or the highway". attitude isn't helping. You all heard him on the mic when the Jason Doyle situation blew up. It's HIS team, he does it HIS way. Well, your way ain't working old boy. Either give us a proper team next year, or don't bother. I don't know how many meetings like last night I can take

Teams used to fear coming to Rye House, they were beaten before a wheel was turned. Now they're rubbing their hands together. I can see more home defeats coming. It ain't gonna be pretty. The rider I feel sorry for is Edward Kennett. The pressure on him to perform must be immense. Everyone who thought replacing Simon Lambert was the answer has had a dose of realism. Doubt whether the result would've been any different had Garrity, Tres & Nielsen been in the side. Ritchie Hawkins did all that was asked and more, Tres ain't really set the place alight and Nielsen hadn't made it past the first bend yet, so who knows. My main concern has been the form of Steve Boxall lately. Obviously riding sub standard machinery, clutch problem I was told, been a problem for a couple of weeks. KO Cup next weekend. The season could be over by Sunday evening.

Without knowing who's available and what the budget is it's hard to say. Most Rye fans know that there's only one rider who's team place is in danger, but he was twiddling his thumbs 320 miles away in the rain soaked borders and can't be blamed for that shambles tonight

Probably our most consistent rider tonight added to his tremendous efforts last week I was hoping that this would be my first season of being an ever present at home meetings. I'm not so sure now. Words can't describe my feelings after watching that. Silver needs to come out and apologise to the supporters, but I won't be holding my breath.

There are other tracks in the South apart from Rye House One has a choice whether to attend or not. Nobody is forcing you

Ooops! When are the FIM gonna stop handing these big meetings to clubs in the rain sodden North? Keep these meetings down South where the climate much more favourable.

Wish i hadn't bothered coming back from Bournemouth today. Embarrassing

What a bunch of crap

Bright and sunny in Hoddesdon. If it was in doubt it'd be off by now.

It's beautiful down here in Bournemouth There's your barometer. If WHB has given up hope things must be REALLY bad!

I was only in the pits for a short while, he must've been in the bar. I'm currently in Bournemouth, the suns out here. Hoping to race back in time for the start.

I'm on the South Coast. Not sure if I'll make it back in time, or even if I want to!!

Didn't see Len Silver at Somerset last night, so he may have been at Rye House flooding the track in case the promised heavy rain doesn't materialise.

What a bunch of crap

Couldn't wish for a better team to face if you need a confidence boost

Yes and no (unless the opposition is my beloved Rye House A one off. You saw how we performed at Somerset a few weeks back

Now Somerset fans know how it feels to be on the end of a spanking. Can the Rockets take advantage of a shell shocked Rebels team tomorrow & Saturday? Can they f**k!!!!

You must be thinking of someone else

Would be better off checking the fuel when Edinburgh visit

You can add another 10 to that at least

Wlll be doing a rain dance all day

You gave up on Rye House a long while ago Going back to crappy stadiums. Don't see many Monarchs fans complaining about Armadump. I'd take their run down stadium with that team any day.

How many people go to speedway because of the facilities? All I ask is for somewhere to park the car and have a pi$$. Oh, and be close enough to the track to be able to see the action clearly and not have a huge stock car track between the terrace and the action.

Being tenants means you're at the mercy of the landlords. Len Silver paid for the air fence out of his own pocket, without having to go cap in hand to the supporters like most other teams. Perhaps that's why something had to give, notably air fares for Swedish riders.
