Chris

Been more than a couple of years since he's been a genuine number one and that was only because he was riding at Lynn every week where no PL rider could handle the grip. As soon as he went to Workington a few years ago as a number one his average has plummeted. Nowhere near a number one these days. Why is Silver looking to sign a reserve? By the sounds of it he's putting together a side about 6 points below the limit

From what Silver said about his number one its got Doolan or Lanham written all over it. If any riders of that ilk are signed then it won't be a good year. I find it unreal that Silver doesn't want a spectacular rider as his number one. Those riders attract the fans Lenny boy! Christ, he really has lost his marbles what with some of the crap he comes out with.

Kennett(Doubling up) Nelson Garrity Nielsen Mellgren Bunyan Leaves enough room for another.

Is this online anywhere Shadders? The old man has lost his marbles. To have a go at a regular, who follows home and away is disgraceful. He has previous with this from last year. I've been to one home meeting since he told the fans to basically f off last season after the Doyle fiasco. Can't be doing with giving my hard earned to someone who looks upon his customers as a piece of s*%$ on his shoe. If Silver leaves I'll be back like a shot.

What a stupid comment. These prats at the BSPA have reaped what they have sown and fans have had enough of being taken for mugs, which is why the sport is on its last legs. To say its up to the fans to save it is a joke.

Probably up there with one of the most stupid comments on the forum and thats saying something with the likes of SteveBrum, Steve0, Big Fat Dave, TNT etc on here.

Needs to be said Phil. Awful, pathetic piece of refereeing. Surprised if he could look at himself in the mirror the morning after. He must have needed a change of underwear when back at the hotel as well as the occasion was much to big for him. Ackroyd looks a weak and timid character and his decision proves it. Appreciate you won't criticise him as your part of the old boys network and probably travel with the lad to GP's, but your argument about being fair and calling for all four as it would be unfair for Holder says it all about the sport and the attitude of some.

Disgusting decision. Ref completely bottled it and shouldn't be given another FIM meeting again. Tainted title for Holder. Tatum spot on, why were all the Aussie prats allowed in the pits? They have no business in there. James Holder embarrassing himself on track as he's so crap and now doing it in the pits trying to act a hard man. What a bell end.

Would agree. Mellgren has been the only one to put his hand up on a number of occasions. Garrity has only started scoring points at the back end of the season and very rarely contributed away from home.

Would have thought Doyle would laugh in Silvers face if he offered him terms next year after releasing him last year. What a good decision that turned out to be. Must be up there in terms of wallyish decisions

You must have missed the meeting last season when he arrogantly told the crowd, after getting some stick ,"I'll do it my way". Silver doesn't like any crticism and doesn't listen to anyone which is why he has a yes man in Sampford as a token team manager. Len has total and utter control over that club and has f*$^£d it up plain and simple. A bottom three finish is completely unacceptable and embarrassing.

He won't be able to convince you Shadders. Silly Ben comments again. Bunyan has been pony. I'm wondering and hoping if Len has finally had enough after this season and will sell up? Crowds couldn't be much lower and the general atmosphere around the place must be awful. He can't even be bothered to put a seven man side out now for christ sake. He's taken it as far as he can and the place will continue to get worse if he stays.

We won't be allowed R/R for Bowen anyway, so that's out of the question. Whats all this Lanham to Rye crap about? He's on the way out and will offer nothing next season. Been awful for Ipswich and at the veteran stage where his average is only going one way. Silver should stay well clear. Same stage as Doolan, use to be a top man in this league, but nowhere near that now. Silver has the basis for a solid side already next season if he can get Gjedde, Mellgren, Nielsen and Garrity to return. Nelson would be another good piece of the jigsaw if he returned, but after the last few years I have no faith in Silver completeing the side to a good standard.

Unreal if they are going back next year. That venue does nothing for the sport and needs to removed.

No chance of top six. We won't pick up enough points away from home and points will be dropped at home. Rye will finish where most predicted at the start of the season, mid table with no cup runs. Side put together at the start of the season had nothing going for it. Nelson was the only one who could have stuck some points on his average, but we've had comedy press releases all season from the promotion about his situation and it smacks of a lack of respect to the fans as they have been fed bs all season. Hawkins signed on the back of promising Silver he would buy a new engine for this season sums up Silvers ambition. Here's a tip Len, it wouldn't matter if he rode on Darcy Ward's equipment, he's a poor rider who offers nothing and how he's got two years at Rye says it all. Just go. Frampton made it clear he didn't enjoy last season at Rye. Len signs him up! Turned out well hasn't it? Bunyan was never going to be the rider he was 3 or 4 years ago and hasn't impressed. Him being back in the reserve berth tells you the story of his season. Mellgren has been the only success of the season and should be the first name down for next season. Although you don't wish to see riders injured and certainly not loyal riders like Neath and Bowen it could benefit Rye in the long run. Silver will have to rip up this side and start all over again as Neath and Bowen won't be there not improving their averages next year. Gjedde, Mellgren and Garrity should be the only one's returning next year. Signing a young Scandanavian for the rest of the season should be the way to go as hopefully he will gain an average and have some experience of British racing. God knows the side needs major surgery as I have had no real desire to watch the sides put together for the last two seasons and I would imagine alot have agreed with me what with reports of poor crowds still at Rye. It wasn't that long ago the average crowd mark was probably around the thousand mark and we were watching Robbo, Ed Kennett, Tai, Danny King, Adam Roynon etc win trophies for the club.

Seeing as we're up North I would have thought Silver will be on the blower to see what Ross Brady is upto over the weekend.

Frampton quits. No surprise at all and could see this coming a mile off. Wasn't happy at Rye for most of last season and all of this. Silver should never has re-signed him and no idea why Frampton signed a contract. Down to five men now.

Hawkins pathetic again over the last two evenings. His last three away scores are 7 from 7, 4 from 7 and 6 from 7. This from an experienced rider who has rode on all these tracks many times. He should never have been signed on again at the start of the season. Frampton just isn't happy at Rye and looks as though he can't be arsed anymore. He said he wasn't happy riding for Rye last season, so looks as though he's got little motivation to do well. Rye will get mullered 3 times next weekend as well. Silver is lying to the fans about Nelson and is doing things on the cheap as usual. Any danger of putting out a seven man side? His comments on the press release after the Workington loss were comical and basically praised the riders for showing great heart! Says it all about his ambition. Quite clear this side is nowhere near good enough for a play off beth and the season will just drift along to nothing again. It's been a long time now since Silver put any sort of decent side together.

What your not bothered the promotion are lying to you or are happy to go on the cheap and go with R/R(probably duff 3 pointers as well with Garrity out) for the rest of the season?

Lovely to see the Aussies fall short again. Crump still a spoilt brat, had a go at Artem Laguta after an early race where Ljung stuffed him and thought it was Laguta and had a pop after the last race at Saifutdinov or Jonsson after he was stuffed coming out the 2nd bend. Hilarious when Nicki mugged him off. The two young Danes looked exceptional over the week and puts our system to shame when the Danes have those sorts of talents coming through. Joker should be 8 points and that will cut out the shenanigans. Swedes were awful, Ljung an embarrassment and Jonasson no better. No side should be seeded directly into any world final. The crowd was crap anyway, so no need to seed the home side through. Russians finished well, but weren't interested when the track was grippy for the first half. Prague next year? Good god, talking about shooting yourself in the foot. Awful, crap track that produces no passing, crowds are nothing special for GP's there and the Czechs in the final? Complete joke. Final should return to England. Peterborough will do fine with a couple of temp stands down the back straight or Poole. Another good week of SWC action. No to Prague!

Shocking track. Shape is awful and surface no better. Need to take at least 3 metres off the inside of it as they have to queue up to get into the bend. Pepe Franc leaving three world class riders standing says it all.

Kennett has always had the ability, excellent all round motorcyclist and alot more ability than riders like Barker, King, Stead and Bridger, but has never had the desire to reach the top level. That desire is something that has been lacking in British riders for many, many years.

Complete cock up and awfully unprofessional by the club, but not really surprising.

No brainer again for Silver really, like last season with Doyle/Boxall/Hawkins. Nelson for Hawkins when he gets his visa and Rye could be right up there. Gjedde Bowen Nelson Mellgren Frampton Garrity Bunyan Very solid line up and would challenge.
