Not according to Norbold's excellent..... "70 Years of Rye House Speedway" I've been a regular at Rye House since 1985..... I don't remember Chris Chaplin riding for us in 1986, at least not in any home meetings.

According to my records 1983-85. He made 54 appearances for the Rockets in league and cup..... As far as I can see he hung up his leathers after the Hackney home National League match on 12th May 2005 at the age of 22.

Errr......I think I misunderstood the title of the thread

Luke Bowen..... Adam Allott

I can't believe I'm agreeing with micman..... we're watching the re run of the GP now, and it's not very entertaining..... Glad I've decided to give Cardiff a miss this year..... the money I'm saving will pay for a brand new PC being built to order for me

Really? I thought he had a good point.

For the past few years Rye House have run an official coach to the Cardiff GP with tickets on offer.....I haven't hear any announcements so far this year.

Impressive times from Marc Owen

I'm with Mr Bramble on this one.....B4e and I thought the coverage was very poor. The camera angles changing every few seconds was making me dizzy..We gave it up after 3 or 4 heats. Doubt I'll be watching any more to be honest.

I had to miss it due to doing the Diamonds v Berwick updates tonight....looks like I didn't miss much...Is it worth watching the repeat on Thursday evening? I think I know the answer to that

How much exactly did you have to drink that day?

There's absolutely no reason why some sort of commemoration can't be held at High Beech (or Beach..who knows?) as close to the actual date in February as possible, but for me just for the sake of access PWP has to be the place to hold some sort of event every year.

The traditionalists won't like it, but I have to agree with you Andrew.

Ditto....most sites allow you to read them without having to register, registering only if you want to post a comment.

I saw SEVEN copies in an Oxford Street store this afternoon

I'd have to go through my programmes in the garage, but I'm sure I saw him riding for the Don's in 1988.

Roger signed for Rye House Rockets aged 36 in 1990 and spent the following two years there. 1990: averaged 6.08 from 13 NL & KOC matches 1991: averaged 5.44 from 19 NL and KOC matches

The old stadium was demolished in 1985 and a new structure put up on part of the site, opening in September 1986, exclusively for greyhound racing.....The new stadium takes up 25% of the space that the old stadium occupied.....The rest of the land I guess became the supermarket. New Crayford Stadium

I'd like to add my thought to this topic. We've attended the last three meetings at High Beech and each time my daughter has had to wait outside because she is a wheelchair user.....Even if we could get up the stairs into the merchandise room, getting around it would be next to impossible for a wheelchair users.....I welcome any moves to make the meeting more accessible with better parking facilities.

Demolished in 1994 Paulco

I agree.....what a waste of petrol

And here it is

Dead centre of this photo is the site of Seedhill Stadium, home of the Nelson Admirals from 1968-1970 Site of Seedhill Stadium I've visited the site several times and seen the riders numbers painted on a wall at the back of the site where the pits were. The stadium was demolished to make way for the M65, although only a very small part of the site was built on, the rest remains derelict.

At £115 without breakfast I'd say that was a right royal rip off!! The same room one week earlier would be £39!!!

I stayed there last year and have booked again for 09, but that price is staggering for a basic hotel. Make sure you stock up on the unlimited breakfast on Sunday morning, but beware...the dining room is rather small, you may have to share a table or wait your turn. There is a multi story car park next door (the hotel car park is tiny) and the hotel will validate your ticket at reception so you don't have to pay
