Shadders

It's been very wet in Hoddesdon overnight and this morning, with more rain forecast this evening. The tracks gonna be like mush. Tomorrow looks promising though. Hopefully the track would've dried out by the afternoon. Not seen a lot of Stefan, but to me he has stacks of improvement in him. Look forward to seeing him progress

Did the forecast rain arrive?

Thank The Lord. Cheers Bryn

No, that'll be in a couple of weeks when her ma & pa come to visit

We've decided not to travel up from Hoddesdon. B4E is terrified that it'll go ahead and she'll miss it. To be honest if it was my team I'd feel the same way, but looking at the forecast it looks very doubtful that it'll go ahead. I've filled the tank and told her I'm willing to travel, but she has to drive and pay for the petrol if it's another wasted journey. Can't be fairer than that can I? If by any chance the meeting is run it's gonna be hell here tonight.

It'll be totally different this time. Katajisto isn't at reserve and Simota found some form from somewhere that day. We had a poor guest for Garrity in Manzares and Stevie Boxall was still suffering after his fall at Peterborough, blanking in his last three races. It'll be l totally different this time. I'll be surprised if we don't win by 10 points or more.

Tough choice

Well, people were asking for a Dane, and we got one, albeit half Danish Stefan impressed in the British SF at Rye a couple of weeks back. Good signing, but should've been considered during the winter

If he pays his own air fares

He still works for the family business. Doubt he'd wanna ride in 3 leagues

I don't know of any Rye fan that believes that Simon Lambert shouldn't be released from his duties, not one. It's been weeks since he put in a half decent performance. Surely we'd have seen a change by now. With Garrity at reserve, and getting back to his best, it's giving the team a much needed points boost, but when he swops places with Luke Bowen (I presume) after next months GS are released we'll be back to square one. Having a rider that's scores next to nothing home & away is unacceptable. If it was a youngster in his first PL season you could accept it if you could see a week on week improvement, but Simon has been around for years and is going backwards.

When I saw the title of this thread I assumed it concerned the terrible beatings most teams receive when they visit the OTA

With the GP and two massive football matches on this could be one of the lowest attendances at Rye for a while.

You turned up at Stevenage week in week out. Remind me where they finished?

Nah, football takes a back seat when the speedway season starts. If you're so confident of a Hull win, how much have you got on it? You can get 6/1 with Ladbrokes

What have you been celebrating every other home meeting you've missed this year, Stevenage being relegated?Silly Ben

Rye House aren't running a NL side this year

Had a bit of a storm around half two, strong wind and rain. Currently bright, but with some threatening clouds to the south west. On the face of it the postponement looks to be a sensible decision

Heavy rain all day Saturday. Will be called off before noon

Does Lambert still race in Germany at the weekend?

Thankfully very few words

Ruthless by the Diamonds promotion, but should be applauded for trying to improve the side. Contrast that to Rye House who are content to track a rider who's average has dropped to under 2.00

Yes indeed. We'll be back in a couple of weeks (weather permitting)Can't blame the Sheffield promotion for attempting to get the meeting on. It was only a sudden shower on a bladed track that forced the abandonment.

Looks like a wasted journey for us. We're almost at Nottingham

That won't stop em trying
