  1. It's only a nickname if it's in general use. I've never heard or read him called that before.
  2. I'm sure these points come up every year, but has anything changed? Granted Craig is very good with any news on the website, but this two website situation is very confusing. Introducing the riders one by one is a novel idea, but they come out to complete silence. Not tbe greatest fan of air horns, but they at least add some atmosphere. Hardly heard at Rye House anymore. I still prefer the bikes wheeled out, the riders introduced, then a couple of minutes of them practicing starts etc, like the old days.
  3. The pub we stayed at last night had a visit by Mr Russell after the Swindon meeting last night. I was being egged on by the landlord to give him a piece of my mind over his disastrous tenure at Rye House, but I bottled it, anyway he's huge! Where did you get grief from him WHB?
  4. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson,_Lancashire
  5. I very much doubt there is anyone on that rate Costs are the same though; fuel, repairs etc... You wonder why they'd bother.
  6. How could I forget? I remember getting mildly excited when Morton won his debut race as a Rocket, heat 1 at Workington. Sadly it was all downhill from there and he retired a few weeks later with a "bad back", later in the season seen loading bikes in a van.
  7. Rumour around the Abbey Stadium is Masters to Rye House. Dunno if the average fits.
  8. It's ironic that we're seeing some of the best speedway in years when the team is struggling for consistency, partly through injury, partly through the weather messing up the fixture list I briefly flirted with the idea of taking in the Peterborough meeting, but it'd be a struggle to make it for the 2pm start if the morning meeting over runs.
  9. What kind of message would it send out to prospective signings if Len dumped Simon before he'd even turned a wheel as a Rocket? Ben really needs to step up next year, if not at Rye, then somewhere else. He's not gaining anything racing a meeting here and there
  10. How can you predict a score when you don't know the line ups?
  11. You'd have though an additional guest would've been drafted in in place of rider replacement.
  12. I threw them a stray dog I found, that kept em occupied
  13. Aarron Summers replaces Kevin Doolan who replaced Anders Mellgren... Ben Morley replaces Jason Garrity While I disagree with most of his/her posts, you can't just ban someone because you disagree with them... Whatever happened to free speech?
  14. I had the misfortune to take a short cut round the back of the leisure centre recently, en route back to the track from the shopping centre... Plenty of wildlife round there!
  15. For your formula to stand up then none should be better than those!
  16. I only remembered because you're such an infrequent visitor these days
  17. Not sure how the rules work, but it used to be anyone with a PL average of below 5.00 at the start of the season can ride in the NL.... I think!!
