Shadders

I have an email from your promoter and witnesses to the events. Will that do?

Hope they lose em both, just to p*ss off their promoter who *seemed to* condones violence by Rebels fans towards away supporters and bullying by her stewards. I emailed he to point out these facts, but got a ridiculous email in return basically telling me to hunt out my would be assailant and take it out on him!

Can't disagree with you. I've never hidden who I am and have made many friends at speedway tracks up and down the country. Like you said, this has a downside as you have to be pretty carefull. Len Silver hasn't been fond of me for a while, his sarky comments to me at Berwick this year proved that, but to single me out in the Mercury was pretty low. To call me a constant critic was unfounded too. Rye House isn't what you'd call a friendly club. No supporters club is allowed and there is a definite "them and us" feeling about the place. I make no apogies for comparing Rye House with Berwick, where the promotier, John Anderson, mixes with the away fans on their travels.

Do you reckon they'd print that?

Even so Sid, 12 to 15 year olds are still schoolchildren, so not earning. For him to say all kids are free is factually incorrect.

Oh dear. He's either a liar, or is losing his marbles... He also stated that all kids go free... I'm sure it says kids under 5 go free at the entrance gates, the rest pay a fiver, or has that changed? My response has been emailed to the Mercury this evening.

Shows how out of touch he is... I was merely suggesting how he could possibly get a few more through the gate, but as the old boy thinks he's doing such a marvellous job (2nd bottom of the PL and gates down 50% in 2 years) he can stick it up his poop shute!

Couldn't even spell my name correctly!! For a start he's got his facts wrong... He says ALL kids are free, when it's in fact 5's and under. Those from 5 to 15 have to pay a fiver Love to be there, but I'm working Saturday Kevin Doolan has been named as Rockets guest for both meetings

According to some Berwick fans they may not be running next year

Berwick struggled to get crowds in for the PL before they slashed the admission price. There is little or no appetite for NL racing in Berwick, plus there's the enormous distance for all the other NL sides to travel.

Why would Berwick be hosting the Ben Fund if you're not running?

Bit of spice in the Shadders/B4e household to end the season, but frankly I couldn't give a rats, I won't be there. Mr Silver can stick my £16 up his poop shute. What's this good news you're waiting for?

So, the trophy that hardly anyone gives a t*ss about is thankfully nearing its conclusion Berwick host the Rockets in the first leg on Saturday with the return on Sunday evening. Sadly, Mr Silver will have to do without my £16 after his character assassination of me in the Herts Mercury. Part of me is wanting the Bandits to win, just to p*ss him off.

Can't blame the poor weather on the BSPA

League and cup should be done and dusted by the end of September, first week of October at a push. Last few weeks should be local derby challenge meetings. I used to enjoy the Autumn Shield meetings at Rye House in the mid to late 80's. A triangular 6 man team tournament with the likes of Hackney & Arena Essex.

If its Somerset then I won't be attending. Not after the shameful treatment I received last time.

For having an opinion?

Not surprised... Raining for most of the afternoon with more to come tonight. Forecast for tomorrow is light rain from 7pm I can see them scrapping this competition

A customer gave me their copy today. Nice that he should go to all that trouble. Interesting that he states that "all kids go free". Really? Nice way to treat one of the most loyal Rye fans, who's supported the Rockets home and away since 1985, even when Len Silver abandoned the Rockets. He also neglected to mention the shameful way he spoke to the supporters with contempt after he'd let Doyle go last year. My reply to the Mercury is currently on my PC waiting to be sent. Interesting to see if they print it.

Olly Allen on a near 10 point average? No thank you!!! Now an 8 point average makes it more interesting. Gotta lay my cards on the table and say I'm not a huge fan of his. Just doesn't excite me I'm afraid, but saying that I've not really seen that much of him to be honest. Most sensible Rye fans kinda guessed he wouldn't be back. I was never convinced.

As they are Norfolk boys they could both end up at Kings Lynn, then the Chapmans would be the ones saving the dough.

What average would Olly Allen come in on?

Would be welcome, but not a number1

Same Leicester fans that cheered when Jason Garrity fell in the Rye House meeting and booed him throughout?
