  1. I guess that comment still stands after last night? Was told Roynon had a falling out with Silver, so a return is unlikely. Would be a risk anyway with his record of injuries. Don't know of a more unlucky rider in recent years
  2. Seen a few comments on other social media regarding the Eurosport coverage. I understand their policy is to stick with a live event until it's conclusion, hence the first few heats missed due to the overrunning tennis. Lost interest in the racing after a short while and drifted off to sleep, still fuming over the Rye House result!
  3. There are still a couple of places left on the Bandits tour bus "nice little weekend trip" to Leicester & Rye House in August, but if you are who I think you are you'll already be booked on it.
  4. Neathy is sorely missed Noel, especially on nights like this. Another shocker tonight. Three 1-5's at the end was hard to take when it looked like we were cruising ten points up. Ok, losing Olly was a huge blow, but we should've been out of sight with at least one decent reserve. Once again it cost us. Bitterly cold and dragged on way too long. Mellgren had one bad ride when it mattered, Lambert had several. Mear looks ordinary, disinterested. Nelson still looking like he's over trying. Something's not right there. Putting him at 4 has been a disaster. He can't ride with Anders, that's plain to see. Problems on the second bend with too many riders having trouble with the exit. Problematical times for Rye House speedway. Looks like the GP and a kebab for us next Saturday. I can't take much more of this.
  5. With Josh Bates in for Bech and doubts over Mark Lemon's fitness, we should win this. I wouldn't put any money on it though.
  6. If they let me in after last nights rant on the forum
  7. We're gonna stand with you mugs tonight and you can explain to us who you mean
  8. I'll let you choose which one's they can have. You know who I'd choose
  9. Perhaps they could use some of the Kent riders. We may have a chance of winning then.
  10. News from Plymouth http://www.plymouthd.../article-4.html Updates available http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/12350/rye-house-plymouth-pl-7pm
  11. Rye House were an ambitious club once. Tai, Roynon, Danny King, all good up and coming young British riders who were going places. Crowds were twice what they are now. People have deserted in their droves. Can't all be down to the economy. Once you lose them and they get out of the routine of showing up every week it's very hard to get em back. I'd have seen dozens of Rye fans at Somerset as recently as 3 or 4 years back. Last night I only saw one bloke standing on front of me on the back straight. There may have been a few more, but they were pretty anonomous. I have it on good authority that Rye House are good payers, the riders are well looked after, so attracting good ones shouldn't be a problem. The crowd at Somerset wasn't that much more than the regular Rye crowd and they charge a couple of quid less on admission. They can afford the likes of Doyle, Morris and Grajczonek, who won't come cheap. As you and other have said, every effort should've been made to get Garrity at reserve. That could've been the difference between a top 4 place and a side destined to struggle in the lower reaches of the league. The KO Cup now becomes paramount. If and when we're out of that the season is dead.

  13. Forget Jason Garriity, even Jason Criump in his heyday wouldn't have made much difference. When are we gonna stop making excuses for some of Lykkes woeful performances, especially away from home? His gating is atrocious and he hugs that white line like its his best friend. Silver is on record as saying he doesn't look at a riders average when building a team, just picks the best seven riders available. Bullsh*t!. Simon Lambert, really? Just tell the truth and say he was the best you could afford within the budget available. You'd get far more credit for that rather than just bullsh*tting the fans with a load of old pony and flim flam. You can tell he used to be a used car salesman. Trying to pass off and old banger as a Rolls Royce. Well it don't wash with me and if the crowds continue to dwindle he'll be left with a virtually empty stadium and only memories of a side that used to challenge for trophies, not put up a performance like we saw at Somerset, Hopefully the side will get a kick up the arse before on form Plymouth arrive, otherwise we're gonna end up with another home defeat and a few less watching at the following home match. Rant over. Good night.
  14. Woeful, inept, embarrassing, pathetic. Just some words that describe what I saw tonight from my team. Can't wait to hear Silver big this up tomorrow, but I doubt he'll mention it. He should be on the mic apologising to the travelling fans (I counted 3) who had to stand and watch that sh*t. Only Anders, Jason and in the latter part of the meeting Olly are exempt from criticism. Nelson had an appalling evening, looked all over the place. The reserves were toothless. Kasper had one decent race when he kept the impressive Lewis Kerr at bay, but that was about it. May as well forget Simon Lambert. About as effective as a chocolate fire guard. Robert Mear, oh dear. Didn't beat an opposing rider and never looked like doing so. Pathetic. 6 points from 16 rides for our bottom 4 is crap. Crowd looked down from previous visits. About a third less than last time I was there for a PL meeting. To make matters worse, the M4 was closed at the M5 junction, so we're currently taking a magical mystery tour through Bristol. At least I wasn't set upon by Somerset fans tonight. They were too busy laughing.
  15. Some blue sky over the track now Instant heat by heat updates via Twitter @shadders5
  16. That's another thing I heard. A higher authority are pushing the plans through. Silver has always said that he's against air fences at Rye as they'll restrict the view of the track for the spectators
  17. You spotted the deliberate mistake. Well done! I just wanted to mention the last good year we had to make me feel better
  18. My Sheffield supporting friends say it could be the end for them as they won't have time to erect and dismantle the fence within the time constraints imposed by the Owlerton Stadium owners
