If Jason Garrity got anymore TLC from Len Silver he'd be in nappies as for being a square peg in a round hole i suggest that will be the case wherever he goes. I remember some warning about him from Belle Vue supporters who predicted just what is happening now. As for cutting the mustard in the EL so he should riding against mainly NL riders. The draft is a nonsense and all it has done is ruin the PL with the need for guests left right and centre For me Jason Bunyan has never been anymore than a poor second string since arriving at Rye, yes he's had injuries but he's only in the side as a cheap option. Funny with Olly rarely did we see that sort of fight from him last season. I have to laugh...i doubt it's any coincidence that Lykke, Mellgren, Aspgren were all left out of the side this year, high travel costing foreign riders replaced by English riders who came free. Given that example i doubt Linus would come into the plans plus it's not Edward that needs replacing . Doing away with the travel expenses has probably paid for the airfence but at the detriment to the team. At least Len didn't go cap in hand to the supporters for the airfence cost but it has written the season off before it's really started.

You have a bit of a downer on Rye eh? If you think Rye House have the worst facilities i doubt you have been to many tracks.

Depends who you believe with Richie, lots of fan pressure to remove him, company line suggested it was Richie who chose to go but i think he was pushed.

Is funny how the tall riders have so much more difficulty in riding Rye than the shorter boys. Riders like Ashley Pullen and Trevor O'Brien were made to look so much better in a similar way to Jason Garrity when on song. No doubt that Simon is in the side to boost the points on the bigger away tracks, so far only Peterborough of the big tracks have been visited and he didn't really impress there. Trouble is the way the team is set up you simply cannot afford to have anyone struggling. The other worry for me is that we are putting far too much pressure on Luke Bowen who is having to have six or seven rides home or away. Yes he is revelling in it at the moment but over time it takes its toll. Simon will continue to pick up more points in both the EL and NL than with us and the only difference in Lens mind if he replaced Simon might be the fact that Simon will continue to have a fair few meetings if he wasn't in the PL.

Better crowd than at Rye House the day before which was blighted by the weather. Decent first meeting but the track seemed very patchy after the watering. Only thing i missed from last year was watching Jack Kingston. Can't draw too much from this victory as i thought Kings Lynn were pretty poor. Having watched Luke at Rye for a season i think he is a much better rider than he showed yesterday give him time and i am sure he will come good. Shame no meeting next week and the next is another afternoon meeting as a bit of sun drying the track spoils the spectacle.

Well Simon still doesn't look too comfortable on a bike around Kent, yes he is scoring well but then again there was very little to beat yesterday. I hope he comes good as i like him a lot but i fear the clock is ticking even with the ultra patient Len in charge. If the right rider on the right average is available then i think a change will be made

Decent win i suppose but the score really flattered Ipswich. Its a long time since Rye had such a committed No1 and his efforts in heat 15 said it all. If Garrity does get back on song then we are one rider short of an ok team. Sadly Simon is going backwards i saw a lot of James Sargeant last year and he impressed me. If he's available i would jump at having him as i think one thing is certain he would be a better rider by the end of the season. As for Ipswich if Tungate and Heeps performed anywhere near their ability then they would be a pretty decent side.

I agree but only as long as the same effort etc is seen at Rye that is shown with Coventry, there lies the difficulty. I would back any Rye House rider that gave his all for Rye. Edward Kennett a good example given things are not great at Birmingham for him. Steve Boxalls efforts for Kent last year that was never less than full on given that he could have coasted and still looked good. I think Jason owes Len Silver that much

Far be it for me to defend John "Mr Motivator" Sampford but...Rye were Not 12pts down until after heat 11 so could only use the second T/R in heat 12. That was their last opportunity and as the only programmed rider of the two rockets Bunyan had to take the T/R. Load of crap against again against a side who won't be near the Title this season. Lambert has to go immediately as does Garrity who clearly couldn't care less. Again only Bowen, Boxall and Kennett are worth a mention and a trip to Mildenhall for me next Sunday unless two signings are made, i can't lake another thumping from that mob up the road.

Shocking comment from someone who follows a team without a track. They have given their reasons with rider safety of paramount importance. At least they cancelled the day before without letting people in as was seen at another midland club, so no your comment of "only at Stoke" isn't correct is it? I wish Malcolm Vasey all the luck in keeping the track alive

Jason Garrity moves to Rye House on a... - Belle Vue Speedway ... https://www.facebook.com/bellevuespeedway/posts/302420153171108 RYE House have completed the signing of Jason Garrity on a full transfer from Belle Vue. Garrity has started the season on-loan to the Premier League club from ... Bellevueaces.co Website on 5/5/12 states Garrity joins Rye House on a permanant transfer for an undisclosed sum. That statement came two months after the row when Len jumped the gun about signing him and Belle Vue complained. So yes full asset for Rye. The Way Jason is going about things he'll end up copping a ban for withholding his services, then Len will terminate his loan and hold out for a full transfer. Could get messy. I would prefer he knuckles under but if he does go lets hope we replace him before the league kicks in and start with a settled side

A lot of the riders that Simon will race against for Birmingham are not going to be as strong as many of the PL reserves. I think Simon will be ok at Birmingham, a brilliant signing for Kent but won't cut the mustard at Rye. Luke already taking on too much responsibility with seven rides the norm, we simply cannot carry a reserve and utilise RR at the same time. On paper we look rubbish but in reality with everyone firing we are easily capable of a playoff place, that said everyone must be firing and Boxall and Garrity needing to put two points per head onto their averages. Well given what he said pre season Garrity is proving a liability, he is clearly more interested in the EL than Rye and is rapidly turning into a waste of space, and Boxall who started like a train is clearly reliant on fast machinery and seemed well down on power last week. Seems to me we got a couple of things right in a very good no1 and Luke at reserve. Other than that its business as usual ala the last few seasons and what a terrible decision dumping Pontus Aspgren seems to have been i have seen him twice and he was flying both times. If Somerset don't stuff us tomorrow i think Ipswich certainly will next week. I'm normally overly positive but after the two Plymouth meetings something will need to be done

Normally i would steer clear of comments like sour grapes etc levelled at Poole and their Management but this is a load of rubbish from Mr Ford. Had any other rider bar a Poole rider been injured in a racing accident Mr Ford would have not said anything on the subject. Very little blame can be apportioned to anyone with regard to Darcy's injury. The track provided a couple of holes or ruts that caused several riders to go out of control, nothing worse than happens every year at Cardiff. Accidents happen and Smolinski was the victim of the rut Darcy was on the end of a racing accident, yes Smolinski at fault and didn't gain anything from the race so end of story. This sort of thing happens every week. On this occassion Poole lose an asset which is a shame but if it upsets his British Promoter so much then perhaps he needs to quit the EL and drop into the NL where he would have better control over where and when his assets ride. By the way an over the top tackle is not an accident it is generally a dangerous action carried out by a player who knows exactly what he is doing and a million miles away from what happened to Darcy. Get well soon Darcy

To be honest i couldn't care less how much,what type, who's paying, how will they pay etc. Belle Vue Aces are, like it or not, the biggest name left in British Speedway and to that end I'll be delighted to see them in a decent home at long last. The Kirky lane track has long held them back and i for one have felt sorry for whoever has attempted to run speedway from there. I am happy to watch speedway from a farmers field but if a brand new stadium comes from this then great I'll pop up to see some racing there. This is great news for BV and for once a bit of general support from the forum should be forthcoming. Sadly all that seems to come forth is stupidity generated by some jealous deranged "fans" who should be grateful that speedway can look forward to some good news on the horizon. As a tiny kid i was taken to New Cross where i caught the bug, saw a PL final at Harringay, lived quite near Walthamstow, supported West Ham while spending my formulative years living in Custom House and following the Hammers to places like Wimbledon and Hackney. Notice a trend? All of Londons tracks gone with Coventry probably on the way soon too so i rejoice when hearing something positive for once. Good luck to those involved with Belle a Vue and their fans

Has nought to do with age or living in the past. Each decade has had its great entertainers who deserve a mention, the seventies to many is the golden era as there were so many top quality, spectacular riders who actually had some sort of charachter, sadly today far too many are too clinical, shy away from any sort of controversy and in effect become boring. I would pay money every day of the week to watch Gollob, Jonsson, Pedersen, Ward, Sayfutidinov, Hans Andersen. Every era has had them it's just that other era's were loaded with them, today thats simply not the case.

My Mum had this awful disease i wish the Mauger Family the very best of luck, far from easy for close relatives to deal with

Easy home win i think. Last night Once again Proved Rye cannot cope with RR. Have seen little improvement in Simon Lambert and his machinery seems sub standard for the PL let alone reserve berth in the EL. That said with the start to Jason Garrity's Rye House season Simon shouldn't be the lone scapegoat. Good to see Luke among the points away from home so far but we are relying too much on Kennett and Boxall

The ruts were nowhere near as bad as many GP tracks especially the like of Cardiff where the only excitement surrounds when they will appear. Praise for the Organisers but not quite as much as Tapp and Crump suggested

Quite unbelievable...some of the comments about a sixteen year old and his attitude stink. Perhaps some of the people making comments should look back at when they were sixteen. Just because he is an exceptional talent on a bike doesn't mean he will mature as quickly in other ways.

Fortunate win for Peterborough simply because Somerset got their selection wrong. How long will Dryml last, seems only to be going through the motions.

Coming up for this meeting as a neutral. Somerset look a decent team and should be good match. A close one but a home win i think and all three points. More needed from Dryml not particularly impressed by him so far and he needs to do more than in the two matches against the Rockets

So rye house arrange a season opener against a local rival. Good plan considering Len Silver coughed up the money for a new airfence without going round with the begging bowl and was looking to get a decent crowd. Had we not used Kennett and Simon Lambert the team we would have tracked would have included R/R for Bunyan and Two guests. Season opener or not the crowd would have been well down. Completely unfair to the PL clubs who continually prop up their EL counterparts and enough is enough. This is a farce that will continue all season with the likes of Jason Garrity bought and paid for by Len Silver who then signs up with Coventry a Friday track with four PL clubs also running On Fridays two of which are also in the same PL Cup section. Irrespective of challenge matches that is a total of seven friday meetings for Garrity as we also have Somerset twice in the PL. Of course should we beat Glasgow in the cup there is a potential for more friday meetings to follow. A shambolic meeting at Eastbourne but hardly the fault of Len Silver who is rightly protecting his business

I'll explain thenFirst rider i looked at who as a Rye House contracted rider i have an interest in is Jason Garrity. He is being used by Coventry, they are a Friday track and there happens to be FOUR friday tracks in the PL two of which are the same PL Cup group as Rye House. Looking at the fixture list four meetings clash so Coventry will be a rider short. They will target another rider that they will replace Garrity. Adam Ellis will be in exactly the same position with Lakeside / Ipswich. This I'm sure will be replicated at most clubs in the EL These Elite clubs will have a plan in place to replace riders where they know they will have riders unavailable. With Rye House they have three riders two of whom will ride for two clubs one will ride for three and for It to be suggested that these three miss Rye House meetings be they challenge meetings or not is ludicrous No EL Clubs may not have a group of eight or nine riders in team kevlars at their press day but they have a squad like it or not. I hope that helps your three times asked question
