You might see if you can edit the thread title. 12th September is Friday, the meeting is tomorrow.

Bunny was riding as a guest reserve for Glasgow at Workington last night. Scored 14 +2 from six rides. Why can't he put in that sort of performance for Rye House?

Don't forget that tomorrow is the annual staging of the 'Donut' event at Latchingdon. Details: http://www.southenddmcc.org.uk/

Hope he keeps that form when we ride against Poole Friday week.

I dare say he will be, won't have missed a GP round and still in contention for his seventh championship by then!

MIchelsen didn't ride for Smerderna tonight and was replaced by Davey Watt who also didn't 'ride' either.

He has even a darker side. Apart from a guest he has never ridden for us at Lakeside but we are still holding out hope. Come on Scotty. You don't want to keep commuting to Manchester each week when you can have a short drive to Purfleet.

Speaking of sponsors, Rye are the only club I have come across who have no heat sponsors. A few years ago there was Sally Thompson who sponsored heat one followed by 14 blank spaces. Since she pulled out that column in the programme has been removed altogether allowing more space to write heat times!

Mason Campton hasn't ridden for Glasgow since 2012. He remained in Australia for the whole of 2013, visa problem I expect, then signed by Workington at the beginning of this season

All, apart from Mason Campton, have other clubs to ride for on a regular basis.

I mentioned a possible clash several days ago. The possibility of England progressing would have resulted in a fixture either Saturday at 9pm or today same time. If Rye's fixture had been put back to this afternoon, there would have been no clash, nor one against the Danish GP and would have gone ahead due to better weather conditions.

Once upon a time Len was proactive. Now he is reactive.

No-one has mentioned the performance of Ben Morley. How can a rider score so well for us (Lakeside) yet so poorly for you? Last night he achieved 8+2 from four completed outings. Also I want to know who is Dr. Evadne and who is Dame Hilda. I always thought John Sampford was Foggy Dewhurst anyway!

Somehow I don't think Edinburgh's winning run is at risk!

I didn't get back until 10.30 yesterday evening. I toyed with the idea of watching England v Italy but went for the recording of the GP instead. Great win Tai and great decision me!

I had been out all day so didn't get home until 10.30. Toyed with the idea of watching the England v Italy match but, in the end, decided to watch the GP. Glad I made the right choice.

GP not being broadcast live. Instead, the whole recording will be shown at 8.30am on Sunday morning then highlights at 9.30pm.

On the subject of clashes, Rye House are scheduled to ride at home against Redcar on 28th June. This is part of the same weekend as the quarter-finals involving teams who progress from Group D ie., England's group. If they do qualify as runners-up (more likely if, indeed, they get through at all) the match will be played on Saturday evening, 9pm. Should they top the group, however, it will take place the same time on Sunday. Would it not make sense to see if this fixture can be re-arranged for Sunday afternoon?

..and for good reason.

Speaking of arrangements, Richard Lawson and Lewis Bridger are due to be riding for Lakeside at Belle Vue on Monday. Although both are reserves, can they withdraw and what might be the implications if they do?

No Adam Ellis either as Lakeside are riding the same evening..

No Brady Kurtz either I suspect.

Len never sacks anyone. They just fall on their swords!

Signed. But where does this leave other stadiums which have been in existence before new housing estates have been built, Rye House for example?
