Rockets

Oh? Who has he signed for?

According to the averages he and Nelson would be at reserve and Luke at number two.

Rocketben where are you mate.You are good at these things. Assuming Neath Nelson Bowen and Bunyan are signed or nailed on how many points do we have for the final three places

From all the murmurs I suspect Bunyan may be nailed on so how many points will we have to play with after the three named riders plus him?

Thanks Lord Skid. I know Ryes not his favourite track but that is such a tempting average. If most of the rumours are true about next season i can see four or five point men at reserve.

Lets hope Len or Andrew read this site mate.

Thet are both great shouts. I like the second one especially. Ben what average would Ludvig Lingren be on?

A motivated Jason Bunyan could be a real coup.

Then he sounds an excellent choice. How does getting stitched up make him lower his average though. Him Nelson and Luke at the bottom end leaves plenty of points elsewhere.

I agree although im not sure Morley is far away from being ready based upon his end of season form. Bunyan is on a bananas average. How come it is so low. Mind you whilst he will be great away his form at Rye is never good. Lee Smart might be a good shout too. Such an exciting style and apart from his last visit he normally rides Rye well. I think we need a powerful top three. Neath , Auty, Howell, lanham, Doyle - any combination of those with Nelson and boxall and luke and another.

Neath Luke and Nelson are nailed on.Despite what anyone says Luke will be a very good reserve at home and is on a average that he should be able to improve on significantly.Nelson could easily achieve a 7 point average. Anyone know what his average has been over the last ten meetings. Neath has been exceptional. Cant see Brundle Hawkins or Frampton returning. Boxall is an enigma. He has such talent and such awful machinery. i'd keep him for the number 4 slot. I hope Bridger does nt come on that sort of average. He does nt ride Rye well at all. I know he is rumoured to go elsewhere but i would love Auty and Howe to join. I see the negotiations have broken down for Auty. The question is whether he has outpriced himself or is Len being tight. One things for sure Len will be aware from the way the crowds have dipped that he needs a team that does nt drop points at home and rides to entertain.

five miles from the track and we have just had about 45 minutes of the heaviest rain and thunder. If that has hit the stadium I cant see any chamce of this being on.

Bit harsh hooversquash. Not that bad a crowd for NL. Newport very very poor herne and to a lesser degree Bates aside. Good night for the Hawks. Masons contributions still seem to go unnoticed. Freemantle really mixing it. Morley maybe on new machinery looking much quicker. To be honest only a poor night for Shane stopping this being even worse. I think he was in front of two of his rides when he fell. Well done boys. I cant help thinking the crowd for these fixtures is being affected at least in part by the negative comments on this forum.

Did nt Tai Woffinden ride in all three leagues in one season?

And also the robbed Spurs against Chelsea on Sky. Clearly the linesman at that game had been to the bspa refs school. Entertaining match. No doubt Belle Vue would have won if Garrity had turned up and was half the rider we have heard about.They rode really well although again the Hawks , like the Rockets seem so slow from the gate. Shane and Barry were fantastic. A couple of great moves from Ben Morley and steady riding from David Mason. Hopwood was poor save for heat 14. Freemantle tried hard against an experinced team. I keep hearing calls for Owen to ride for the Rockets. Forget it. If he does nt make the start he gets nowhere.This kid needs to have a think about where he wants to go in this sport. He has a lot of natural talent but for some reason he looks like he is going backwards at Rye. Crowd was poor but i'd have thought nearer 300. Im not sure this forum helps though with its negative comments. These kids are the Rockets of tomorrow. They really do deserve some support.

Even though they are probably not yet familiar with the track I can only see a comfortable Hawks win. This is one very good team this year. I just hope the track holds up.

I think the Hawks have a good chance. Very impressed with young Freemantle so far.

Good to see Sreve. no doubt everyone was trying. It would just be a shame if the tour fizzled due to a lack of interest if the scores are nt closer.

A strange night. Fantastic to see Thommo. All the boys looked sharp. Freemantle looks a good prospect. Shane looked like he could hit the ground running. Hopwwood continues to impress. Owen fast and smooth when in front but seems to struggle for ideas when at the back.Ben clearly benefitting from his run with the Rockets. Great to see the colours back. Also good to see a healthy crowd despite the predictions of doom. I think the Hawks could be in for a great season if they can stay injury free. Now the bad news - old boys aside the US were completely out of their depth and I think Thommo might have beaten half of them. They will clearly need to strengthen for the rest of the tour. As a consequence not much racing. I had been hoping to see some Hawks merchandise too. Maybe it will appear as the season progresses. And no fish !

I have to say Paul that my gym is near to the stadium and I have heard someone practising.

I'll be going. I think its great to see the kids progressing and cant wait to see the body colours again.

Anyone know who was practising at the stadium yesterday?

Thommo my favourite rider ever. Was it a team riding scott autrey and ivan mauger he took at the wick one night? Great memories of the man.

Looks like Rocket Ronnie will be in the line up for the American touring team at Rye. That should create some interest.

Morley as usual looked nice and tidy. Nice to see him supported in such numbers. Owen and Hopwood both looked impressive. Did nt see Evans Mason or Freemantle ride. I think this could be a big season for some of these boys if they stay injury free. First cheeseburger of the season. Yippeeeeee.
