Mind boggling rules killing speedway,,Which should be such a simple sport to run.....

You are right Alan it will be a problem,but then again how many if any would Banks have got..?

This looks tough for Raiders with Dan Bewley already looking heat leader class at reserve for Belle Vue probably getting 7 rides... No one doubts our top end will do the business,,,,but Williamson goes well round here and Payne is no slouch and i think it will be a win for Belle Vue Hope McCauley Leek continues his promising start ,,Hunter may need a meeting or two to get dialled in again just hope for some good racing

All very confusing if you ask me

But the rule you say is a good rule Ben91, says they cant do what your saying should happen ie, Branford for Karger?

I agree Shads it was more about the name than anything else ..

Ben Morley guests for Cradley due to Cleggs higher league commitments ..

Shads do you think Brian Karger may have had some thing to do with the decision being an ex world class rider himself ?

I can see the point about incentive to sign a British rider but that's the only good thing I see about the assessed average rule for foreign riders..

How do they know they are going to make the grade until they sign them ..They dont ,they hope they will, and if it does not work out.they are lumbered

How can it be a sensible rule not to be able to release a rider who is not doing the job he is employed to do..It would not happen in any other business..Theoretically it could reduce attendances to a point where that business becomes unsustainable...Now I'm not saying that would happen at Rye and the management obviously hope given time there will be an improvement..

I think many would like to see Rob in the Rockets..unfortunately you can not release a rider on an assessed average under the rules.so for the time being that is the way it is..Who makes these stupid rules most of which seem to be killing off the sport ?

Bit of a scrappy meeting,,problems at the tapes for riders,,loads of fallers,Connor Lock after a trap to line win spent most of the rest of the evening sitting on the shale,some corners he has difficulty turning in..Harvey Banks is just slow.,,,,However Macauly Leek can gate quite well battles ,is quicker than Lock or Banks,and is the one that should be persevered with in my opinion,,Ben Morley an immaculate 15 point max,,Rob Branford to with his exciting style did the business with a paid max 13 plus 2""Solid back up from skipper Luke Priest,,,the points scored by Leek my man of the match contributed to this moral boosting victory over Stoke,,with the tapes malfunctioning the last two races were started on the green light..wrapped up by Morley and Branford ,before the heavens finally opened,,Success all round who would have thought it at the start of the day,,..?

Good meeting with some cracking races..Kennet head and shoulders above the rest ,Morley 7plus2 doing the scoring required from the bottom end of the team,,Robson seemed to be down on power but still scored good points,,Heeps,inconsistent,,Can be good especially off the outside gates,,,Lanham.. should do better and ,will need to Show a bit more determination in the future,,Lykke showed flashes of what he is capable of tonight it could be the turning point for him...45 point draw about the right result,,but there will be stronger visitors than this...Still think we could be stronger with one or two changes....Nice to meet fellow Rye poster Alan Jones tonight,,there is mutual respect for our opinions on the site...The track was ultra slick first time I have seen a big blue groove this season,.decent crowd.?. ref Chris(burn your clutches out boys)Gay 'had a reasonable day by his standards...Rain nothing much till the end of the Raiders match,,so I guess they got it wrong by nearly 3 hours....

My guess is they are hoping to get the premier match completed quickly and see how it goes after that,,Lets hope we all get lucky..

Difficilt call for the management with rain forcast for around 4pm,Do they go with the premier match at 2pm and hope for the best,,To be or not to be that is the question

As has been said apart from Risager there seems to be very little consistancy in this Ipswich team...

Care to explain how??? Buxton winning away..Bit of a shock and there seems to be little interest on this thread ?

Freezing cold weather and losing home sides = poor attendances always has

Perks actually looks a better rider than any one on the I o w books,,a top class no 1 is vital for starters

To get the IOW up and running again is a feat in itself,However i fear the team needs strengthening to maintain a reasonable crowd level that will enable it to continue running after this season

Remember Branford would have to replace a No6 cant ride as a 3point national league rider..Having said that he would definatly be better than Karger at Rye House but they would have a lot of points to play with if Karger left ,,,though i do not see that happening in the near future,, as they will give the lad every opportunity to improve

Adam Ellis the debate continues ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

McCauley Leek to my surprise in his first meeting proved to be the pick of the Rye rookies and should be persivered with at the exspense of Lock or Bowdrey in my opinion ,How long we can expect 3 riders to carry the team i do not know Hopefully Hunter should be back soon Ben Morley and Rob Branford provided the little bit of excitement for the Raiders fans,that im afraid are likely to look thin on the ground befor long without some improvement from the bottom end..
