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

Team looked weak to me before the season.

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

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

Old news. Some of us have moved on.

I'd go with the BSPA scores if I were you. Rye Updates are notorious for making mistakes

Good point. It's long been argued by some that putting loads of grip down would make the track too difficult. Well it doesn't harm the Monmore track which is a similar size and shape.

You're forgetting Grondal replacing him in heat 12 😉

Camber long gone.

You also said Rye would hit 60. That's over the two legs presumably

Anyone who thought that knows naff all about speedway

Don't say I didn't warn you. Can't believe how anyone thought this would be a cakewalk for Rye. They must be idiots. Swindon were always going to take advantage of RR, it was the game changer. The four RR rides brought in 10 points. Add to that track specialists Doyle & Grondal plus Morris who was good value, not to mention BWD and it was a no brainer. Then you add to the mix Robson & Watt having a woeful start to the season and the loss of Branford.... What were you all thinking? Then we come to the track. What's the point of having a team of racers and serving up a track as slick as that? I knew it was gonna be bad when the tractor was packing down the start line area before the meeting. Crowd was down on last week, quite a lot less from where I was standing. Atmosphere was very flat. Last weeks smiles and laughter turned into scowls And grimaces. Last weeks meeting was a false dawn it seems. Wolves are woefully weak at reserve and that made it easy for us. With a Grondal in their side they would've probably won a point at least. Pleased to see my suggestions of selling raffle tickets among the crowd and an ice cream van were taken up. They even had a food stall on the third bend. Only highlight was Ellis Perks who looked aggrssive and will improve even more. Now we're all but out of the KOC, at least we can concentrate on avoiding the relegation play off. Lots to ponder for the management and promotion before the feel good factor falls off the edge of a cliff.

If that's the rules in that post then surely Rye have priority as in rule 3?

It seems not. Reported he's riding for Sheffield tonight

He won't get anywhere close to that

How on earth did Ellis get saddled with a 7 point average?

It says "agreed, not "allowed" on the website. RR for Ellis means they are much stronger, with Morris, BWD, Bellego and the reserves allowed to take his rides. Puts Swindon as favourites to go through in my opinion, even if we had Branford. I wouldn't be surprised if Swindon sneak a win tomorrow.

Ellis rode for Ipswich at Rye in August 2014, scoring 6+1 from 4 riding at number 7 Previously, at the end of May that year, he scored 1 from 3 riding at number 6, falling in his last ride and withdrawn from the meeting. In April he had 4 rides in the league cup, scoring 6+1 from 4 including a race win in heat 2.

Rockets v Poole announced for BH Monday 28th August Pleased with that line up, especially Suzi Perry 😀

Anything more than a 10 point deficit after the first leg would be tricky to pull back. I've always thought it's easier to defend a lead in the second leg. Onus is on the home team to get heat advantages. Away side just need 3-3's

There's always the block facility

So, basically he's a c*nt

That's a new name to me. How's that Peterborough kid who's got 20K in the bank? Still being a dick?

I'm pretty new to the EL/Premiership forums. Does Starman take over and ruin every thread?
