Rider replacement for a rider that's been sacked. You couldn't make it up!! Dick Barrie's gonna have a field day.

That's nothing compared to the reception I'll get when B4E reads this in the morning!!

Can't say that any PL side is universally disliked. We don't really have anyone close enough to Rye House to be classed as local rivals, but the team I enjoy beating most is Berwick for obvious reasons When I first started going in the mid 80's, meetings versus Hackney, Arena Essex & Mildenhall were always the grudge matches and although Wimbledon were a London side I didn't really get the feeling they were disliked when they came to Rye Not to mention some of their more obnoxious supporters

I thought we were bad there last week, but this takes bad to a whole new level!! Reports say the attendance was well down on last year. I noticed far less than normal last week, but put it down to the poor forecast. Have the Somerset public lost interest in speedway?

Another home defeat. Lewis Blackbird will be the Panthers match winner

Didn't realise this was a KOC fixture. Makes perfect sense to run it at the first possible opportunity. I s'pose I'll be heading up the M1 next Thursday afternoon

You'll have a hard time persuading Scunthorpe to agree

Stefan Nielsen... Sign him up NOW!!!

Well done Glasgow. Good to see Kasper in the points

What exactly is your agenda? You support Kings Lynn, not even in the same league

I'd understand a rain off at 3pm with a poor forecast, but to call it off at 9am with no rain around?

Heard bikes from our garden, so popped down to the track to investigate. Photos on www.twitter.com/ryehouseupdates

24 hours after a heavy defeat, riders out of form and team changes in mind?

Watch this space

Belle Vue flooded their track with a hosepipe. Can't wait to hear Silvers explanation on Wednesday. As usual he'll say that the detailed weather forecast he pays for said there would be rain and lots of it. Well you're wasting your money old boy. Would've been better off spending it on air fares for Aspgren. Still, one piece of good news has come out of this. Wednesdays British Semi Final programme is now only £2, reduced from the original price of £3. Happy days!

Looking out of the window half a mile from the track it's cloudy, but bright. Had no rain this morning and there's a little pale blue sky visable. The track must have received a fair soaking yesterday. I wouldn't know as I was one of the handful of unfortunate Rye supporters who made the trip down to Somerset for that horror show.

Against the likes of Perry, Clegg & Sarjeant, big deal! Elite League? It's really anything but Elite. A couple of world class riders mixed in with journeymen, veterans, second & third rate foreigners, young British prospects and a few NL wobblers.

Don't know why he thinks he's Billy big boll*cks all of a sudden. He's only up against mostly NL wobblers and PL reserves. Fast track is a joke. Giving the impression that all of a sudden they're world beatersHands up who thought Garrity would be challenging for the number one race jacket. At this rate he'll be at reserve.

I don't live in London

I ain't driving

Are you on drugs?

What a bunch of crap

Just pulled up in the car park. Overcast, but bright enough to be optimistic that the meeting will go ahead as planned.

They're both mostly racing against NL standard riders in the EL
