Speedway is probably the most exciting thing that happens at Eastbourne which is widely considered a victorian geriatric resort..

Not sure wether your residing in England or Australia Junior Fan but if its aussie i can tell you Rob is getting even better this season , him and Ben are at a very simular level,but complete opposites in riding styles..Ben is a good gater with a smooth quite style..Rob as you probably know is a do or die battler rides way out in the dirt and win or lose is always entertaining giving it everything,,.I think there is further improvement in both of them,,,The,have just won the 4s and must have a good chance in the pairs comp this month,Hope so....Of course if your living over here you will know all this already?

A good close match with some good performances from the kent reserves Danno Verge,, and young Thomas looks a real prospect ,,James Shanes. was solid and.Ben Morley guesting for Luke Bowen,,11 from 4 rides was only beaten in heat 13 by the fast starting great prospect that is Dan Bewley who had the advantage of the inside gate,,Off night for Danny Ayers still throws points away and needs to calm down a bit to be a better rider ,,however he was just back from injury,,Williamson also rode well for the visitors .But Payne looked a bit all over the place apart from one ride he won..Decent size crowd shows a team doing well ,despite injuries to several riders will still pull in the punters....

Charles Wright and PaulStark have made the grade at premier league level after a while in the national , where they were pretty decent riders ..but they are far outnumbered by those that have not, many dissapear all together..Danno Verge i chat reguarly too and has improved this season mainly by improving his fitness,,,saw him at Kent kings last night and he rode very well ,,wether he makes it to premier league level however remains to be seen i sincerly hope so.....

Congratulations to Rye Raiders,, Ben,,Rob ,,Luke and Sam on winning the fours at Coventry today....Rode well and kept their heads,,,

Rockets were fairly solid right through but unlike Glasgow no one stood out,,Great ride from Richard Lawson in heat 15 and good all night ,,,,and the reserves Lunna and Bewley were just sensational...There was some great racing on a track that is still crying out for more dirt to help the likes of Robson and Lykke and we need to do something to avoid these narrow defeats,,But no one could complain about the quality of the racing and its the new track shape thats providing it...

Glasgow were very impressive down at Plymouth last night lets hope all the travelling takes the edge off them..Should be a highly competitive match tonight..Looking forward to it....Rob Branfords inclusion in the side proper now, should be a big boost for him ,,his recent good form,could really lift of now,,,

Teaboy if you had our bottom end at Kent i do not think the fans there would be to happy either...I do not get slagged off every where as you suggest in fact i get a considerable number who like most of my post,s ,,My point here is that we are not snapping up some of the real prospects out there that are available ,like other clubs are,,And id have a bet with anyone that none of the current rye rookies will ever make the Rockets team....Your entitled to your opinion of me and i do not mind,,But i have not been involved in speedway, with riders,,sponsership,. and track maintainence for over 60 yrs with out being able to see the difference between a real prospect ,,or someone unlikely to make the grade....

Rob Branford has really upped his game in the last month or two and fully deserves his elevation in to the Rockets team proper with the resignation of Peter Karger..Good luck to him and the rest of the lads for the remaining couple of months of the season....

5 points from Raiders bottom four some gifted says it all really.Realistickly we have no chance home or away.There are better rookies out there Mildenhall snapped one up last week..15year old Jordan Jenkins

40,,,,Bit optimistic

I think Belle view may miss the lightning gating Dan Bewley But they only have a three man team to beat, It could be decided by how many gift points Raiders bottom four can pick up..

It must be pretty obvious that the fans do not like drawn out double headers a total drag .so many weekends with no racing is also is very unpopular, and loses fans sometimes for ever,,,But does anyone ever take any notice of what the fans want ??,,,And constant delays during meetings including unwanted intervals. at some tracks are turning fans away in their hundreds,,a major cause of why our beloved sport is slowly dying on its backside.......................

Johnson ,hardly a number one even when he is fit..

It is all beyond my understanding,,(to complicated..)Iwill leave this one to Alan Jones and others who study the rules and try to make some sense of them and good luck guys..

In many ways our two young aussies ,Cameron and Rob are similar types of rider ,they give it everything they have got and sometimes it does not work in their favour..But entertaining riders like these are what people pay thier money to watch ,,And with experience usually turn into top class performers..

You have to admire Cris,s optimism of every thing Rye?...Seriously though have to agree on some points,and Rye House has been crying out for a winning side for some time now...Next season hopefully..

Sunny day time meetings inevitably produce dust,and if your breathing it in it is not good for your health,,Not a fan,give me evening meetings every time..

The only people on here who seem to like these marathon double headers at Rye are the away supporters,probably because they are winning.There is nothing like supporting your team that wins away from home,,, I too was very impressed with Jack Smith,great prospect, and Bacon and Shuttleworth(first match) have improved a lot this season..A bent frame for Hume may well have accounted for him getting out of shape a fair bit yesterday.,,Our Rob Branford has improved his gating, he is a battler, and was good to watch in both matches,,Ben Morley had mixed afternoon but a good showing in the premier match with two wins,,

What can you say, less than half a team aint gonna win nothing.. totally out classed by the best team in the league ..Time between the two meetings way to long..started at4pm finished nearly 9 pm

5 hours to run the two meetings ,,what a drag ..Rockets middle order,poor,out gated all day... Ed ,robbo,and Ben all solid scores. Rob.Branford battled and was worth more than his 4 points Somerset though were strong from top to bottom and deserved winners..

Shads your prediction seems a bit fishy to me especially if all the lads chip! in with a few points..

Okay i was only quoting what is on the Rye website obviously things have changed since that was put on there

Al3x 200 its on the Rye House website Both Carr and Wilson guest for Birmingham...

Tough ask for Rockets who have Rob Branford in for the injured Karger,..Somerset are riding high at the moment but we can beat them if every ones on form..,this meeting is the first part of a double header to be followed by Raiders v Birmingham,,Weather looking good for what should be a good afternoons racing at Rye ... Many thanks to Orlov for solving my posting problem
