Rayleigh

I thought David Mason would be best suited to the Eastbourne track but heck what do I know.

Bet the refs will be sighing with relief, I am sure there were many a shake when that phone rang after a controversial decision knowing that the formidable Hazel was a calling. short fuse are not, you always felt sure was batting for us, many thanks.

Jacobson is a big worry, If he is poor - there will be loads of pressure on Garrity or/and Nelson to become heatleaders If he is good - as he is 19 will he be missing for World U21s World U21 team cups etc and Lens history of guests Benji Compton get your bikes ready.

I think Berwick should do everything possible to get Kus back, at last the rider blossomed from being settled and happy unlike at Redcar (I presume they are his parent club)

It would be a big mistake to get Kus back as he was very happy at Berwick, just look at his record at Berwick to Redcar.

Great news that Andrew is involved as it is hoped he will continue the Rye House legacy after Len

No team closed during the 2014 season, No teams are in danger of going out of business in 2015, No riders failed to get paid last season No guests required during the 2014 season All seems well on planet BSPA so no need to change except for a helmet colour I wouldn't be surprised if some established clubs like Birmingham, Eastbourne Lakeside and Rye House joined the National League where at least the low point rates allow a club to still make a profit.

good news at last. Interesting to read promotional suggestions regarding 2016 (I have also heard rumours similar) but knowing Len who is infamous for looking after every penny, there is no way Len would be doing corrective and costly track work just for one final season. With all the new National League teams there will be a shortage of riders, I presume the standard (and points limit) will be increased thus the big plan will be the National League to replace Premier League (at £10-£20 per point from £50-£60 per point) and likewise Elite League with Premier League(£50- £60 from £10-£110 per point)

Still no news, as the late lamented Bob Hoskins said in the Long Good Friday "nobody knows nuthin it aint normal" Come on Shadders give us a clue

No news at this stage has been unheard of in the past which leads to these options 1 No 2015 for Rye House, unlikely after comments earlier from Len 2 is Len considering Elite League as he seemed to have planned for Kent to move up before planning set back 3 Cant get an answer from Nelson and Bowen on availability for 2015 4 or will we have a new promoter next season

Of course he should, but this is speedway and not any normal working relationship, After all I understood that a club had to pay a bond of £20,000 (I think)to the BSPA so this sorry situation can never be repeated, but there again that would happen in a normal working relationship.

For all the faults of Rye this year at least Len pays the riders in FULL and ON TIME, this he should get respect for, just look at Peterborough (although there was never a problem at Peterborough or Oxford before, or was there?) And to think that Steve Ribbons was regarded as not a fit and proper person to be a promotor. I hope this year at Rye was all about a small budget due to the installation of the air fence, as I say I hope, as having lost Rye before I so hope we don't go there again.

In the past riders who have withdrawn their services due to non payment have found themselves banned for 28 days so no wonder riders are concerned to put facts in the public domain. Just look at the riders absences or resignations this year at Peterborough (now look at the record of a club like Edinburgh)as they say "if it walks and talks like a duck it probably is".

If the rumours are true, I hope the Peterborough fans applaud and not criticise their riders who have continued to ride whilst been owed money, would you keep working for an employer who didn't pay you for previous work?

Unfortunately his back has not be damaged from a bulging wallet in his back pocket. A sad end for a great servant of British Speedway especially when you think of his accident at Oxford. Thanks Ales

In this case very much a hand.

Hi Shadders, It was good to meet you tonight, as explained I have still been around these past years and as I said all credit to you for all your updates and comments that you make allowing me to keep well informed even when I cant make it to the track.

Does a fielding a poor team actually pay? The number of paying fans and pounds per points are only estimates This year Rye have had 18 home matches: Say on average 250 adults @ £16 = £72,000 Say on average 100 concessions @ £14 = £25,200 Say on average 50 children @ £5 = £ 4,500 ------------- £101,700 Rye House riders (with bonuses) have scored 1,268 points @ say £60 per point = £76,080 Edinburgh riders (with bonuses) have scored 1,765 points @ say £60 per point = £105,900 That's a saving of £29,820 so far this season, so the big question to everybody who demands their team to strengthen, can your supporters increase enough to pay for it?

Well that was a coupon buster or what. Not sure if I was delighted with the performance tonight or did it just highlight the abject failure of this team most of the season.

Bunyan 16 points at Workington on Friday Garitty 11 points at Lakeside tonight The boys are bang in form, clearly we cannot lose tonight.

But if Kennett had riden at Somerset with bad shoulder it would have weakened the teams performance and not given value for money for the paying Somerset supporters. Wether he could have rode or not Kennett is the one Rye rider who deserves NO critisism this season. Starting to worry that after a few iffy results Ryes top six chances are wobbly

The maths are simple A rider earned 4 times approx. yes FOUR TIMES in Sweden and Poland than England. Ride in Poland on Sunday. Rest and maintain machinery on Monday Ride in Sweden on Tuesday, The riders must laugh at watching the knackered riders rushing to Sweden on Tuesday after riding in England on Monday. They would only need to score 3 more points on Tuesday to cover 12 points in England on Monday. As pointed earlier as great as AJ was at Lakeside or Nikki P at Eastbourne it had very little difference in the crowd levels. Lost some respect in Woofy do put gun against the head of BSPA ( as they are likely to pull the trigger)

Maybe Lukes testimonial was more important than at first thought as Len had ample proof from the size of thegate last week that the Rye fans still fans are run out of patience with the current "team" and when in Lens world greenbacks have always talked loudly. Now looking forward to the Redcar meeting,.

Jason Garritys recent form 15 june at Glasgow 5 points 16 JUNE BEAT WORLD CHAMPION ON HIS OWN TRACK IN BRITISH FINAL (ALSO GOT TO RUN OFF) 17 june at Edinburgh 2 points 3 july at Sheffield 7 points 7 JULY AT WOLVERHAMPTON FOR COVENTRY 17 POINTS 8 july at Peterborough or in fact not at Peterborough To help I have highlighted the rye house performances in low case and others in UPPER CASE. I hope it is coincidence but he sure owes us some stellar performances

Another 60+ IMO As Brucie F used to say "Higher Higher"
