  1. BT Sport have football, baseball & speedway, so it's a no brainer for me. Just have to get the best deal possible when we move home. We were ripped off by Virgin Media when we moved here, so next time I'll read the small print
  2. Funny how people's memories become clouded over time. The reason John Sampford was let go was because he was unwilling to drop underperforming riders. One of the criticisms of the Silver/Sampford era. I can only think of one rider who was replaced when not injured, Kurt Shields I'll say one thing for him, he knows the rule book inside out. He would've told Sheffield to bugger off when they came calling for Rob Branford last week
  3. All set to make the trip when the fixtures were released, but the car died on me recently. The age and value make repair uneconomic, so it'll have to be updates
  4. That's not clear at all. It says "agreed". That's not the same as gave permission. Could be taken that Sheffield stated that going by the rules, Rob had to race for them. Rockets management agreed without checking first with the BSPA. Not until after the meeting did they bother to check for the official ruling. Probably explains while the team manager was so evasive when interviewed on Saturday. He knew he'd been mugged off by the Tigers. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Swindon lot told him what the actual ruling is.
  5. It does when you post incorrect information in an attempt to ridicule someone. Do your research I reckon it's naivety and/or lack of knowledge from the Rye House management. John Sampfotd wouldn't have stood for it. From reports, Peter Schroeck was quite coy and skirted around It when asked on Saturday Needs to grow a pair and stand up to the bullies. They knew about this fixture clash one or two days before the meeting. Why on earth did it take until two days AFTER the event to get the difinitive ruling?
  6. You make that sound like a bad thing. Get over yerself. Ok, name them
  7. Toby Carvery in Harlow, 10 mins from the track, or Wetherpoons in Hoddesdon High Street are pretty safe options if you want something cheap and cheerful. If you fancy Italian (Sicilian actually), Nonnas Kitchen in Hoddesdon is very good, but not that cheap http://www.nonnaskitchen.com/Home.aspx
  8. Anyone who saw him ride last Thursday? Now it turns out we DID have priority over Rob Branford after all!!
  9. Rye pub next door, but sometimes up to an hour wait. Anatolia down Rye Road is good if you fancy a kebab
  10. Agreed. I mentioned it in my post meeting rant. Track has always been slick, but now we have a team of racers. Give them something to race on.
  11. The ample parking at Lakeside is just about the only good thing about the place. Freezing cold and you're too far back from the track. Add to that the Friday M25 traffic.
  12. NBJ is available. Robbo is a legend at Rye. Can't see them outing him. It's run more like a family than a sports team
  13. I though it looked down on last week, but still pretty good compared to recent years. Didn't see as many away fans this time. The decent weather forecast for the weekend, combined with school holidays, probably saw a few taking a couple of days away. On a positive note, good to see the promotion install a food outlet behind the third bend (no idea what was on offer) and an ice cream van situated behind the second bend. Could be something as simple as machinery problems, but he's certainly not started the season well. I suspect he's the kind of guy who will dwell on it, which won't help
  14. The dry, dusty track didn't help him at all. Two of Watts three points were gifted to him in heat 10 after Grondal was excluded and Harris fell. The only rider he "beat" on the night was Ben Morley
  15. I'd go with the BSPA scores if I were you. Rye Updates are notorious for making mistakes
