Not all ex riders make good team managers. Look at Ipswich

One of the very few joys following Rye House last year (apart from the KOC win at Berwick) was seeing the development of Hume & Bowtell.

As a stand alone side Cradley are battling with the likes of Kent, Eastbourne & Birmingham for top spot. A battle they will ultimately lose

£15k is nothing these days pal, you act like you're a millionaire.

Big deal. I deal with people from all over the world daily when I'm delivering their benefit payments

Can't believe he'd rather race NL rather than PL

Poor equipment and always lets you down after a decent start. How many chances does he need?

Always gonna be a problem when you share a stadium with stock cars and monster trucks. No way around it I'm afraid. They probably bring in more money for the stadium owners than the speedway.

Sunday's usually

Ellis just signed for Eastbourne hasn't he?

That could be bettered on Scunnys training track

Same applies My knowledge of continental racing is worse than my knowledge of EL reserves, as our friend Lewy just pointed out!

Fixture clashes with Lakeside?

Ideally we'd need someone to come in who'd get Kasper to reserve

Wouldn't Lakeside have first dibs if there was a fixture clash?

How's he doing for you mob?

By my calculations he's crap. Do me a favour!!

Like it or not we've got to accept a 3 pointer at number 7. There aren't enough really good ones to go round, but you're not gonna know unless you give them a chance. It's pretty clear to see that Karger is going to get nowhere near a 5.00 point average, his Danish scores and from what I've seen of him already suggest he's gonna struggle to attain 3.00, but at least he's trying. What really hacks me off is seeing one of your riders putting less than maximum effort in, then seeing them pile up the points for another team

We've had a few that have put in less than 100% over recent years. All I want to see is riders giving it their best efforts. If they're not good enough, well, that's up to the manager & promoters to sort out.

Probably mate, but even trying to pass anyone shows some effort.

At least he's putting the effort in. He fell attempting to go round Danny King in heat 11. Just doesn't look comfortable on the bike

Karger didn't look at all happy on the track walk after the meeting, contrast to last week when he looked full of beans after his points helped to win the match against Somerset.

From the gate Cut back on second bend works, but main passing seems to be on bend 4

We've had the facility at Rye for a few years.

There is a separate entrance for debit/credit cards. Most people carry those. Not having change for paying customers and turning them away seems odd though
