Shadders

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.

Some blue sky over the track now Instant heat by heat updates via Twitter @shadders5

Sittingbourne Rockets anyone?

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

You spotted the deliberate mistake. Well done! I just wanted to mention the last good year we had to make me feel better

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

Good win for Newcastle. Favourites for the league with Edinburgh surely?

Heard a whisper last night that air fences are to be made compulsory in the Premier League from 2014. Dunno if this is old news, but certainly the first I've heard of it. Could impact heavily on a number of clubs if true.

2007 PL winning Rye House side?

Change "should" to "will" and you'll be spot on

Currently motoring down the M5 en route from the Bandits dismal display at Sheffield last night. Not expecting much tonight, reckon we'll do well to hit 35 points. Clouded over since we passed Brum with the forecast saying a light shower between 4 and 5, steady rain around 10. Should be ok though. Lewis Kerr guesting for Tom Perry I believe

Sheffield look a different side to the one I saw beaten comprehensively here by Rye House in the KO cup a few weeks ago. Haines and Koppe have improved massively since then. They were the difference. Disappointing from Bellego, Kozza and Weathers. The score line flatters Berwick somewhat, who were never in it from the first heat. Take away the tactical points and Kennett scored 11 from 5, an average of 8.80, not bad for an away number one. Interesting to see Andre Compton putting in some laps after the meeting

Jason Garrity reckons he'll be back in 3 weeks

15 points up after 7 heats at Redcar. That was your best chance.

Pretty sure it was 2 lap Tommy

The vast majority of those posts were in the PL & NL sections. I very rarely stray from them. You're just trying to deflect attention from the fact you wrote Tai off. Nice try!

Could be Ian. It's a rule that needs looking at for sure

Just stumbled across this thread and having a chuckle at all the posts from last year stating Tai isn't good enough to race in the GP series. Nice one!

Has Andrew Tully ridden for Newcastle yet?

Got B4E as my minder this time

Don't believe her. Saturday nights at Shadwell Towers is hell when Berwick lose at home.

One Berwick and one Rye House fan heading north for this before the trek to Somerset on Friday to see the Rockets get gubbed. Can't call this one, could go either way, but for the sake of a peaceful end to the week for me, I hope the Bandits come away with at least a point.

9+1 from 5 earlier in the season including a fall. Damn right it's gonna be tough!

According to him it was HIS sausage roll you ate.

Robert Mear is no Jason Garrity and is in shocking form at the moment. Anyone who saw his performance for Lakeside on Sky the other night could see that. Not aware of the Devils guest at number one, but if they've any sense they'll book Ricky Wells again... Plymouth won't fear coming to Rye after their comprehensive win a couple of weeks ago... Another home defeat I fear.
