  1. Average regarding points or average regarding psycho?
  2. I have to say I was generally disappointed with the Rockets tonight, after losing a close one the night before I expected a "fired up " team, well 26 - 10, it wasn't the response I was expecting.and despite the scoreline being only 8 points we never really looked like getting a point. I am struggling with Kennetts away form (3.29 before tonight and he didn't even match that) and actually a stunning ride in Heat 11 actually made the other 3 last places seem worse. Many thanks Batchelor for a great "guest" performance but a special mention should be also be given to Perks who but for a fall in the lead of Heat 2 and a close overtake of third, would have scored paid 11. The surprise of the season.
  3. Inspired, it was a no brainer, one guest won heat 15 the other wasn't nominated.
  4. Matej Kus - star man at Berwick then star man at Redcar and not to shabby at Newcastle, if fact did so well that his average cost him a place
  5. At last an away win, now hopefully we can make a move for the playoffs. Well done everybody but a special mention again for the surprise of the season Ellis Perks
  6. Weather update anybody please as I have a long journey to get to leicester
  7. A decent win for the Rockets tonight, expecting a quagmire and got the "blue groove" instead. Overall felt it was a fair score. Kennett - Through the card, what an enigma 16 home wins this season 2 away wins this season. Robbo - glad your back seem to get better as the meeting progressed Harris - always thought this was not a great home track for the racer but heat 8 was worth suffering the cold for Wells - 6 from 3 and a tape exclusion when other riders moved first, think his partnership with Harris can be the strength of the team Nicholls - the best I have seen him, the opposite to Harris I thought this would be his type of track when he gets dialled in a hopefully that's what is happening Branford - A slower start to the season than many expected although still not a passenger, battled really hard tonight culminating in keeping Graj on a black and white in last place Perks - one of the biggest surprises in the country this season and didn't expect much tonight having rushed back from injury, deserved more as was leading one race when it was stopped and as in speedway finishes last in the re-run and fell whilst in 3rd on last lap. For Somerset, a number of hit and miss riders with Lawson probably the best. Will rue Graj not scoring on a T/S and Heeps would have hoped and could of had many more.
  8. I agree, and I believe Somerset won fair and square and congrats to them, but my point was would you have preferred Shanes or Baseby.
  9. Walked into another ambush again 30 + 3 points from the new boys tonight. Next stop Leicester, watch it all the current riders!!
  10. They say to win the league you not only need a good team but you need to meet opponents at the "right time" Swindon in the cup - r/r for Ellis netting 17 points including a rides for the red hot Morris Wolverhampton away - Schlein and Riss M for Skor and Cleggy was a massive upgrade, probably the decision that may give them another league title Poole away - yep KK gets injured and its that Morris boy again Somerset away - your joking, three out and three in OK the jury is still out if Rye House can up their game to make a push for the title but we certainly seem to be at the wrong track at the wrong time
  11. So we couldn't have r/r for robbo, of course I missed p211, paragraph 6, section 4a, sub-section 2, appendix 1X of the speedway rule book, silly me
  12. We take the loss on the chin and well done Poole, but three points did wrangle me last night 1) r/r for Robbo (one ride for Wells and three for Branford/Perks) was never as good as a suitable guest (how about Bellego) Wells r/r in heat 1 was silly as it left Branford and Perks in heat 8 against Holder and probably Klindt (even worse with Perks withdrawing after heat 4) But the cherry on the cake was no T/S for Harris in heat 7 (or even any of his rides) reminds me of Peterboro away last year with fiasco of Branford and Morley in heat 14 Come on Peter S there is more to being a team manger than just being a decent bloke.
  13. Cor, you Poole lot are a happy lot. One home defeat and its naval gazing, we are also use to losing at home once A WEEK.
  14. We are going as well, never seen racing at Poole (been to the track though) where are any Rye fans planning to be at the ground?
  15. Or the type of flu that affects National League matches more than Premiership matches. In short Ellis has been a revelation this season and in hindsight he really doesn't need NL commitments after all (just look at Workington score compared to his match at Redcar to see he isn't 100%)
  16. Cut Eddie some slack here please, I will take it as gospel about the migrane, remember 28 points out of 30 in the last two meetings, in matches that had no margin for error. Look forward to the next meeting when he can shut up all the doubters.
  17. Can I have the first letter Richard = W Can I have a vowel = E Now a consonant = L Another consonant please = L And finally another consonant = S You now have a winning word
  18. Croc tears, Over the last few years Kings Lynns home record was very good but they were let down on their travels (classic example of a home track bias) , maybe just maybe they do not have as neutral a track as much as they think, now poor Redcar and Scunthorpe suffer every year because theirs really IS a neutral track.
  19. Well what a moaning lot some fans Kings Lynn are: The Tracks rubbish - yes it was slick but after early rain I guess they got the watering wrong when the sun came out late afternoon Holders rubbish - maybe it just wasnt his night as there was no "gimme" points last night, but over the season I will swap him for Watt Lamberts rubbish - last time he broke the track record 3 times but now he has a "hurty" shoulder The stadiums rubbish - Now this one gets the biscuit, the stadium was pretty well condemned after the "untouchable" Len Silver ruined it and by all the accounts BMR are having to replace everything and there is an incredible amount to do, please give them time and support as this no doubt will be very very expensive. How disrespectful to critise another track just think of how poor Coventry fans feel right now, what would they give to be owned by BMR. You have a very useful team this year (a number of posts from Rye House fans have praised the KL riders from last night) even maybe the champions in the end, so enjoy the season support your team and be as gracious as you can in defeat.
  20. Probably the best I have seen Kennett, not only 5 wins but in heats 10 and 13 the tension was mounting as the match was still in the melting pot and he delivered. A big heads up for Perks who really deserved his paid 10 and not for the first time this season (it seemed he was the sacrificial lamb at the start of the season)an great bonus fro the club. Also credit to Porsing and Rose who I thought did really well for KL, with Holder and Lambert winning one race BETWEEN them. Although not much overtaking I felt it was a thoroughly absorbing evening from two evenly matched teams Sad if Watt really left the stadium after heat 11, whilst the more he tried the worst it seams to get, how about supporting your teammates as the match was far from over
  21. I am one to advocate "give it some time" but noticeable last night no Rye House rider in double figures. Need a better result tonight but already struggle to see us getting 40, hope to swallow humble pie though. p.s. is Nick Morris on one of Ivan Maugers 600cc bikes? what a start to the season.
  22. When I got to Berrington Lough it P##sed down which was ironic as the team sponsors were DryBorough
