Odds On

the team is very poor on paper, Boxall is never going to be a heat leader. Garrity could be a heat leader but looks like an accident waiting to happen. The Dane if he averages 6 then that's as much as can be expected. Bowen, will score the odd big score at home but away??..Rye may as well use a 3pt guest. Lykke, cant gate so god knows why we have signed him. Nelson, even if he does ride then a year out means he'll be way off of the pace to begin with. Like I said the team is made up of individuals as opposed to a team ethic, with the likes of Nelson, Boxall and Garrity in the team then there's every chance of the balloon going pop at some stage of the season!

teams looks piss poor to me, Im not surprised to see Boxall and Bowen back in but they should of been shown the door. nearer bottom than top and a team made up of individuals than a team ethic.

take away any banking and the track will be even more of a borefest than usual. Whilst Nelson is mentioned will anybody else be surprised if he doesn't ride!

depends which cider it is Dickins or Kumms.

money will be available!...Garrity will be long gone and replaced with cheaper version.

big rumour doing the rounds at Swindon on Monday was that Kennett had signed and that Klindt was coming with him and that this would be Lens last season at Rye and wants to go out on a high.

Thank you.

sorry in advance if this has been mentioned before but could somebody let me know the format for the play offs, how many teams qualify and who plays who. Thanks.

I bet that result pizzed off a few of the natives !! ....surely there's something to moan about ?

Easy home win tonight.

Agree Shadders but you must ask the question when certain riders are labelled as not trying etc but whilst riding for other clubs they are labelled just the opposite. I don't think there are any bad apples in the current line up.

well I wonder why that is?!...if you listen/read to regular Rye fans on here they paint the same picture for a number of current and previous Rye riders, perhaps just maybe the problem isn't the riders but elsewhere within the club.

Great to see "the special one" playing the hard done by role again, can't believe there wasn't any tears!

just goes to show the state of the current situation at Rye House, if things were okay do people really think Anders would be calling it a day? R/R will be the order of the day, good news for the remaining riders! It also shows that some of the debacle that came about for heat 15 last week was down due to Anders as well and not just JS?

In no way am I defending Darcy Ward but I do think he could be the unlucky one here, we've all seen or heard about riders having a few beers after a meeting and then riding the following day....another example is when a rider wins a meeting, nice bottle of champagne on the rostrum, a few bottles with the pit crew/sponsors etc etc... The verdict and punishment will be interesting, the publicity this could bring to the sport could be damaging but lets be honest the sport is just about on its arse anyway so the old saying of any publicity is good publicity could never more be truthful.

Think the biggest problem will be riders wanting to ride for the Rockets, the speedway world is a very small one!

The team manager needs to either jump into the real and current world or fekk off and retire in the Fens.

we were all thinking what the hell was going on in heat 15, someone did mention it was a balls up by JS and that AM was all packed up and ready to leave, guess there's more to a TEAM rider than just riding your own races.

any rumours doing the rounds about illegal fuel?

Cheating as in riders using illegal equipment, interesting that somebody mentioned nitro as a fuel, now that will make a rider go faster!!

surely no rider would use ilegal fuel in this day and age?....regarding punishment, if Kennetts punishment is anything to go by then a tasty ban would be in order but like I say surely no rider would get caught in this day and age.

Some interesting posts so far, I'm surprised that using different fuels hasn't been tried and tested as it most be one of the easiest and effective ways to increase speed?

Does cheating go on in speedway?....

Why shouldn't they of been?

Fully agree with Chris Browns post above, it simply feels wrong that a customer pays £15 and then 15 minutes later whent he meeting has been postponed cannot receive a refund there and then.
