Agree with you about Olly. Looks rather Simon Lambertish around Rye sometimes, but he has the aggression that we've been missing at reserve. Will improve and could be a trump card on larger tracks. Worth looking at for next year. TR rule works both ways. Somerset were fortunate in this case that they caught us napping at the gate. Never felt comfortable, even with a ten point lead, as I mentioned to Cliffboy before heat 8. Edward hasn't let anyone down this season. He was never going to live up to that ridiculous average he was saddled with at the start of the year. Anything around 8.5 is acceptable for a guy racing for only one team while holding down a full time job. Therein lies our problem. The majority of the side are racing exclusively for Rye House, not enough track time. Only Olly, Jason Garrity & Anders are racing elsewhere, in the EL against mostly NL riders and Anders is just feeling his way back from a serious spinal injury racing in the Swedish second division. Racing with a steel rod in your back knowing that another serious crash could potentially shatter your spine can be rather off putting I should think.

Injured his shoulder at Ipswich on Thursday. Intense physio on Friday did the job

What a great night. Even Brent Werner won a heat!!

Decent meeting tonight, quite entertaining. I thought the Rockets were desperately unlucky to lose this. Allen getting away with some shocking rolling starts. Much better performance from the Rockets, looking like they had a point to prove. Hopefully we can take something from this and take the points off Newcastle on Wednesday.

Somerset will be buzzing after their last visit when they took us apart. See if Kennetts shoulder holds up, he could be the key. The weather won't come to our rescue tonight. Expect an away win, but only by 8-10 points

Not sure where you got this from. If true it's a bizarre decision

Is this the same Ronny Russell who told Rye fans who voiced concerns at the teams poor results to, "fu*k off if you don't like it"?

Officially he has a shoulder injury, unofficially he just didn't fancy it.

You're lucky you don't get to see them at home Cliff. Youd've been bored to death tonight. The place was flat, no atmosphere, expecting another one sided meeting and it was duly delivered with little effort. That's three visits to the OTA in 2014 and we've managed to score just 74 points. I'm just thankful I don't have to go again this year.

Watching Anders tonight you can see he's riding well within himself, not surprisingly with a steel rod in his spine. Steve looks well down on power and really needs to get his kit sorted if he wasn't to stay in the Premier League next year. Jason Garrity is giving it a go, but we're really making them look better than they are. Even the crowd are flat tonight. Absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever. They're as bored as I am.The only rider that would've made em work for their points hadn't turned up.

John Sampford phoned three different riders to guest, none wanted to come

Rider replacement for Kennett

Don't go to Ding Wah whatever you do!!!

You're better off stopping at George's in Stanstead Road, less than 5 minutes from the track.

Why the hold up between the parade and heat one?

I don't recall saying it was unfair or unjust. You must be thinking of someone else. It's not as if this in an important fixture for us. Wooden spoon looks nailed on

Only other clash I can see is Redcar away. Tres was missing every other weekend.

I had to Tweet Anders myself to have it confirmed. It's really not good enough for a professional sports team in the 21st century

Same as WHB, I'm going, but don't know why. Anders riding for his Swedish side tonight. Apparently the Swedish speedway authorities insist he has to prioritise his home country. Will probably be missing Redcar away too. It'll be an absolute slaughter tonight. Ipswich will hit 60 with ease against a depleted, demoralised Rockets side. Interestingly nothing about the team changes on either the Rye House Website or Twitter.

Don't think I'll bother

All that beer hasn't pickled your brain I see

Last five away scores have been 38, 35, 38, 38 & 38

I've never heard of a pregnant woman who didn't put on weight.
