No rider has a divine right to ride speedway fulltime if the riders and the sport cant generate enough income, then part time it is. STOP THE TAIL WAGGING THE DOG.

Having taking another look at the strange rule of "only one rider above 8" given the change is Tack Sub, under the new rule your top three riders can have 17 of the 30 rides in a meeting whereas the double points rule the top three riders can have only 14. This would only encourage teams to employ 3 no 1 riders instead of a balanced side. This just maybe the first mildly sensible move by the BSPA.

Spot on Sugarray, A Poole fan complaining about manipulation when they sign Woryna on a 4.5 average "raised eyebrows"

The team at the end was absolutely buzzing and I think this fits: Harris -low average as always and actually worked out the home track KK - very very low average just keep him happy Nicholls - rider of the year, chance Rye House could be the venue of his "Indian Summer" Wells - an absolute must made great strides last year, his pairing with KK was match changing Barker- seemed to hate Ryes track but stuck with it and finally came good "respect" Robbo - definitely a bottle of vintage claret, seems to get better with age 2.06 to play with go with a newbie like we did with Perks how about Jenkins

Why cant they have a just few Saturdays such as an off night for GPs so no one is excluded

So its to assist riders to earn more money than to assist fans, point proven

Madness, just to placate a few greedy second rate GP riders (bet you wont see Dudek, Zmarzlik, Syfutidinov, and Woffinden). Mondays and Wednesdays/Thursdays are just great fro people who can only go at weekends or have children.

The team that we finished the season was potent and with one measly point extra I firmly believe we would now be champions, in short I don't need improvement just the same please will do. I agree about KK though four maxs in such a short time with us and as I was at Poole and home to Swindon those two performances with compete with almost any memories I have in 47 years of following the Rockets.

Still hoping the AGM will reverse this mad idea of fixed nights 1) To increase GP riders back - dream on if you think the elite GP riders Dudek, Zmarszlik, Woffinden and Sayfutinov are coming, what we will get is one 2nd tier rider per team and just look at the evidence what those riders have DONE already NEWSFLASH EX WORLD CHAMPION CHRIS HOLDER JOINS KINGSLYNN, how did that work out? EX WORLD NO2 ZASPRZAK COMMITS TO POOLE, they wont stop cheering for him will they? BRITISH RIDER MAKES GP AND RETURNS HOME TO WORKINGTON, surely this time they will be queueing round the block for this one? 2) Due to influx of GP riders (despite the great hike in costs) the BSPA have managed to secure a free TV deal with BT Sport. 3) Unfortunately Mondays and Thursdays may be sh#t for some fans who have supported the sport for 40 years. 4) Has any team actually moved up? Lakeside, Ipswich and Sheffield have all indicated they will be in the Championship (Ah yes a change of league name might help!) I really hope it will work but where is the evidence to show this isn't going to be the biggest fu@k up yet.

I agree, a rider who was I think was rider of the year at Berwick, rider of the year at Redcar and in his own admission had his best ever year when at Newcastle. He also is very committed to his teams and after being Newcastle fans being "Robert Lamberted" (something Kings Lynn, Peterboro and Rye House fans are only too aware of) that should be very important..

Hmmmm

Is David Mason riding? oh well, if not maybe he will be there to support Tony

Where does this illusion come from that GP riders will put something like 1,000 on the gate. It didn't happen with Holder at KL or Cook (soon to be GP) at Workington and going back people like Jonnson at Lakeside or even Pedersen N at Eastbourne couldn't do it. All the greedy GP riders want is a convenient night to earn some extra cash whilst testing their bikes (their best equipment will still be based in Poland where they receive 4 to 10 times the money). The crowds in the 70s and 80s were because teams had riders that related only to their team and a continuity of race night (Hackneys mantra was "make it a date, Friday at 8"). 1) Each team can choose its own race night 2) Teams ride regularly, preferably every week. As mentioned above I have yet to see evidence that GP riders justify their wages by increased gates so commit to UK or use the door marked EXIT. 3) No double up riders. if riders are not good enough to be invited to Sweden or Poland and they cannot entice enough fans to watch their team, then its time for riders get a job during the winter. I remember top Championship riders fixing their bikes to the back of a car no great big vans in those days.

If there is one league with two conference riders at reserve 1 Harris 2 Barker/Robbo 3 Wells 4 KK 5 Nicholls 6 Jenkins 7 Thomas

The rain today is probably heavier than the "rain off" earlier this season and it is more windier than the "wind off" earlier this season and he will probably still run the meeting, sometimes you really do get what you deserve in this life.

Thanks, I of to my window ledge now

Many thanks for your kind words. As I said earlier coming from the lower reaches of the Championship "or what ever they call it now" we have never locked horns with you guys and whilst you have had for Poole a very turbulent season, and even Mr Shovlar will admit probably not one of your finest sides, your sheer determination and stubbornness to makes the plays offs after we beat you by 51 points on aggregate "please allow me that little one" is a credit to your club, in life its easy to be successful when everything is going your way so when it doesn't, it should be acknowledged. Good luck in the playoffs I shall be watching enviously.

So gutted about missing the playoffs. But I want to thank ALL the riders and officials for such a great run at the end of the season and if the core of you can stick together next year can be a very special year for Rye House. When the disappointment disapates please remember you we tremendous and as Rye House fans we have suffered many many barren years.

Congratulations to Poole on making the playoffs Gutted as I am, I will no doubt pontificate long and hard about what damage we might have done in the playoffs but the simple fact is we missed a number of chances to "put you away" and despite an incredibly tight road you never slipped up once and the final nail was winning at Somerset after taking the lead only in heat 15. I have said it before and I repeat Hans Andersen is amazing, if you are ever unfortunate to be in a trench hes the man you want right beside you. We look forward to seeing you next year.

For all the conspiracy theorists, Robert Lambert did not ride in heat 15 after winning Heat 13 against Andersen & Kurtz (the riders that rode in heat 15) his replacement ran a poor last which allowed Poole to get the 4th and probably most important point of the season, yet he was suited and booted to ride in the second match against Rye House

Well its Pooles to lose now, again they did what they had to do and I am sure that they will get the result they need at Somerset tomorrow, by hook or by crook. Whilst Lahtis score will catch the eye I thought Andersen was the match winner, his evening even included the required 3-3 in the last heat. Despite his waning abilities he is still Mr Reliable and a consummate professional and not for the first time put the Baby Turbo twins to shame. One day he will be a big lose to Poole speedway and British speedway as a whole.

Whilst it probably benefits us, it just doesn't sit right with me and I for one hope lambert is in two matches or none, of course I want 4th but only on a level playing field and if you do better than us against the SAME team then good luck to you. Just like last night, whilst not effecting the overall result I just knew Bjerre would max after Mondays disgraceful performance (I don't mean low scores that can happen to anybody, but a Premiership No 1 rider doesn't have bikes on Monday)

You impressed with your No 1 not having engines? Yes, Nicholls does not escape criticism for tonights non performance but he has only affected his own chances of the playoffs not Belle Vues. Respect to Cookie though, always does it against us and one of the first riders I would choose for my team.

Im not being a sore loser, I made it clear we got what we deserved tonight. If Poole sneak 4th good luck to them, they never gave up a few weeks ago when everybody was laughing at them. the point I was making is, if we lose 4th please make it a level playing field and Bjerre turning up with useless equipment at Poole and Wolves and then do this tonight almost makes him a king maker. Ask Peterboro fans, when after a 9+ season he completely blew up in the playoffs and destroyed all their hard work that season.

Whilst we didn't deserve anything tonight, Bjerre K should be ashamed of himself after the performances on Monday and tonight, it makes a mockery of all the hard work Rye House and Poole put in that one guy can just choose when he decides to turn up.
