What's been the excuse the last five or so years Shadders? No air fence then to pay for.

So he was pushed by old man Silver? If Bunyan criticised the old boy then no surprise, silver won't have being told how to do it.

Gave up giving a toss a long time ago Dave. Silver has seen me off I'm afraid. I'll comeback when he's gone but I won't pay to watch the rubbish he puts out on the cheap every year. No thank you. The Jason Doyle incident when he basically told the fans to F off was the final straw for me, although I have been moaning for years about the old codger. I have noticed recently even the silver backers are saying exactly what I was 3/4 years ago. This Tressarieu debacle this weekend with no facility for a poxy grass track meeting sums the club up.

I put a post on the forum in November when pictures were put up of the track, saying it looked far too narrow into & out of the bends. Why no one realised and sought to rectify just screams of incompetence by all parties. Shambles.

Should snap up Rosen, talented young swede. Will involve Len putting hand in pocket & getting rid of Bunyan as well so no chance. The silly old codger has zero ambition & that's why his crowd has all disappeared.

First visit in a year and same old crap. Team was built all wrong before the season started. Have had to laugh at some suggesting a play off berth. This team will finish bottom. Lambert was comical and him coming back shows the ambition of Silver. The guy simply has no idea how to ride the track. Garrity is riding Boxalls old lawn mowers and Bunyan and Tressarieu are only going to continue going downhill. They bring nothing to a side. Side built on the cheap as Silver has done for many a year now. Shown up for the fool he is by not using Aspgren. He'll put a point on his average easy. Side should have been built around Kennett, Mellgren, Aspgren and Boxall this season. You then fill in the rest with young hungry talent like Brady Kurtz. I'll bet a lot of money dear old Len has never heard of the lad, but that is the difference with a club with ambition like Somerset. They will have contacts around the world/country looking at young, talented riders, while Len is happy to pay peanuts employing dross like Lambert, Tressarieu and Bunyan. Lambert and one of Bunyan or Tressarieu need to go now and the points used wisely. Garrity needs to be told to pull his socks up as well as he doesn't look interested.

Another mess from Silver and team is now weaker with Tressarieu in. Bottom half again written all over it. Kennett Aspgren Mellgren Garrity The four riders the whole side should have been built around. Had to get his favourite Bowen in though at reserve, which has messed up the team completely. The old boy has no ambition. Would also have thought what with being Nelson's sponsor he wouldn't let him go home with his visa about to run out meaning he couldn't apply for another for a year. He was a shoo in for this years side so not to sort his visa before he went home is a complete cock up.

You can't blame Middlo for dropping Cook last year. His performance at Lynn was dreadful. He started to late and will be another Barker, King, Howe etc. He'll do very well to get above the sort of level he is now.

Mellgren should have developed into a number one rider last season, but his scores weren't consistent enough. Would certainly have included him in the engine room of the side this season though & gone with a weaker bottom end.

As I thought, Machin asking very much for very little. He's only got a licence to sell. He has no rider assets and doesn't own the stadium. Anyone offering big bucks would be a fool what with having to purchase a £20k air fence. Machin clearly has no interest in running it so may as well take the price for his licence and disappear.

Same old rubbishe. Lower half of the table finish. Pretty much same as the last 5/6 years. Kennett-no problem with his signing. Should be very hard to beat around Rye. Away form will depend on attitude. His commitment to the sport isn't particularly high at the moment. Lots of ability, but mentally has always fell well short. Bunyan-meh. Doesn't offer a lot. Average will stay same or go down now he's getting on. Boxall- lots of ability, but has the mechanical expertise of a chimp. Has he got more than one lawn mower these days? Is he still wearing Newcastle kevlars from 3 years ago? Very unprofessional. Garrity and Nelson were no brainers. Bowen-truly depressing, but fully expected him to return. Has been riding about 10 years in PL and is still a reserve. Is he really a silvers secret love child? Lambert-Christ, I've never ridden a speedway bike in my life but would still look more comfortable round Rye than him. He was also crap on big tracks. Pointless and depressive signing. I would have gone with Kennett, Mellgren, Aspgren, Garrity, Nelson, Morley and one of the top NL 3 pointers from last season. Replace one of the reserves when Kennett gets his average. This side has very little going for it and is a usual silver side from the last few years. He certainly won't be getting his lost crowd back with that. Very much done on the cheap with no foreign based riders.

"Plus we'll be using Luke Bowen who has been out for nearly two years. He's on a 5 point average, which we expect to drop considerably, but Luke is like a son to me and we have to get him in. It means we'll be even weaker, but I feel Jason Bunyan can prove his GP credentials and average well over ten this year" Silver concluded

What's Machin selling? His licence and some worthless assets? Can't see him getting much dough.

Looks very narrow, hopefully the riders won't be queuing up to get into the bends as the racing will be awful.

Same old crap, Bowen and Bunyan? Zzzzz. Neither of those have any improvement in them. Does Boxall have more than one lawn mower to race on now? Mellgren, Aspgren, Garrity and Nelson with a top number would be the way to go but it's Len, so he'll go with what he thinks and to hell with the points limit. Another bottom half finish with that rubbish on display.

Silly Ben, that's a shocking side. Obviously a fan who likes Rye continuing to finish amongst the dregs every season.

Newport and Rye have one major thing in common. Both were fed crap sides by their promoters and both sets of fans were treated like s"it on the bottom of their shoe by the promoters resulting in hundreds walking away. I wouldn't be so sure of Rye's continued existence if I was you.

Didn't you say the same thing two years ago Phil? Unless they rip the whole track up and open up the entry to the bends it won't get any better and will continue to bore everyone to tears.

Injuries didn't kill it. Silver starting with Simon Lambert in the side and about 3 points below the limit killed it. Oh and let's not forget the Garrity debacle for the second half of the season. Another crap year down the bottom for Rye and it won't get better as long as Silver is in charge.

Great track and tidy venue, but after visiting Malilla a couple of years ago for a GP, I would question a return. Literally in the middle of a forest with no life about for miles!

The club has been an embarrassment for years now. Only wet behind the ears fans thought the side put together would do anything. As soon as Lambert was signed on again was when Silver showed he clearly didn't give a toss. Fair play to anyone who follows this dog turd side. Inept management has destroyed the club I'm afraid. The club needs a new promoter as Silver lost the plot about 5 years ago.

Yes we heard that bollocks from Sampford/Silver with Lambert and Bunyan last time. Both were nowhere fit and it's cost ever since as Rye have hardly won a meeting since due to both being nowhere near fit.

My goodness! When you lose at home to that Plymouth side there's no hope.

I assume you're on a wind up! This Rye team was always a mid to bottom of the table side after Silver didn't get Garrity in at reserve. Somerset are a club that looks to have a bit of ambition and have put decent sides together the last few years. If only Silver had that sort of ambition. This Somerset side is miles better than the rubbish Rye have to offer.

Learn the rules.
