To be honest I was bored after a couple of heats when you know you've no chance of keeping it competitive. It's not as if Eastbourne were particularly good. We're just carrying too many riders and if Luke Priest ain't firing it's always gonna be a struggle

Some of them are a little too precious. You get a lot of that from supporters of sides who've dropped down the leagues.

Bit of a let down after the Rockets match, even the few Eastbourne fans got bored and started cheering Rye fallers louder than their heat wins. As a stand alone meeting it would've been a shocker, but at least the main event was entertaining. It felt like walking into a party when all the good looking birds had gone home and there was no beer left.

Would miss at least 4 meetings due to Swindon commitments

Something else to take into consideration is Morley & Branford will have at least 11 rides between them in the Rockets match, so man and machine will be pretty knackered, especially towards the end of the meeting.

It's a shame it's the second part of a double header. The track won't be good

Of course, mate Jase

Ivan Mauger, Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs, Mitch Shira, Larry Ross, Bruce Cribb

That's even worse then.

I agree with you on the first point. It'll be a gaters paradise in the second half of the double header unless someone makes a mistake (NL, so there will be a few) Branford started the season late, still averaging over 10, joint second highest in the NL after Morley according to the official averages. That's 30 points. Where are the other 16 points gonna come from?

Probably the best option looking at the scores from the others

Yeah, I don't s'pose he'll be back this year, shame.

8.51 to replace who?

Yeah, must've been your Twit pics. Rye House gets blue grooves, but from those photos it looks like Rye after a 30 heat double header.

Amazing how much you can save when you have no life and sponge off your parents.£15K won't get you much these days. You won't, for instance, have enough for a deposit on a property, should you want to leave the comfort of mummy's bosom. Renting in the public sector is a rip off. It'll get you a decent set of wheels when you discover public transport is next to useless.

The guest I've heard about has a PL team place. Perhaps that rule doesn't affect the reserve position

So do I given his usual scores at Rye House

A couple of interesting photos of the track with a massive blue groove on the first bend

A sensible rule as far as I'm concerned. Kenny Bowdery has been at number 2, so that average isn't really surprising. From what I've seen only Macauley Leek has anything about him

Expect a fairly easy Eastbourne win against virtually a three man Raiders side. Looking forward to seeing Dan Bewley again. Won't be any shale left on the track unfortunately, so it could be mostly gate and go. I'm not a fan of double headers.

A guest for Hummel has already been sourced

He's injured. Anyway, when did logic and speedway ever go together? Heat 15 at Glasgow today for example

Cheers for the info

Wouldn't recommend him as a guest at Rye anyway after his poor display in March

Alden has the lowest average of any number one in the Premier League, so finding a decent guest will be difficult. The only rider I can see that you can use at Rye next week who may score decent points is Ludvig Lindgren. Jack Holders is also a possibility.
