  1. In his final season at Rye in 2010 he finished on a 9.53 average
  2. They've learned lessons from last year it seems. I don't think they decided to race in the Premiership to finish last
  3. Basketball is mostly a winter sport and takes place indoors. Not many speedway stadiums are all seater
  4. They wanted almost £17 to walk around Edinburgh Castle the other day. A family of 4 admission to Paradise Wildlife Park is £56. Almost £60 to see a load of sad looking dopey animals. If I wanted to do that I'd just go up to the Midlands to Cradley.
  5. Rye House have been £16 for 3 or 4 years. They'd have probably put up the admission even if they'd stayed in the second tier.
  6. Pretty sure they'll relocate once the rebuild is complete. Big mistake booting out the old souvenir people in the first place. I refuse to buy anything from that woman
  7. Ben Morley must be nailed on now the Raiders are no more
  8. Daft is quite mild for me. Someone who's been going to Rye House since the 70's will no longer be going because they've moved to a different league? I wish I was in your position to have a choice. I'll be over 300 miles away. Doubt I'll see the Rockets at all next year
  9. Your argument is a little daft regarding seeing the same teams two or three times a season. Firstly, we saw Somerset and Plymouth twice last year in the League Cup and Premier League. Ipswich twice in the PL & KOC. Secondly, you don't have to go to every meeting, just pick and choose. The Premiership will just be a revamped PL. To say you won't be going at all seems a bit baffling. The extra money you'll spend travelling up to Peterborough will negate the extra pound or two entrance at Rye
  10. How many of last years new riders do you think have a future in the sport? None that I saw. A couple of em struggled to complete 4 laps without falling off after a season of racing. The Raiders were doomed when Andrew Silver left the club
  11. http://m.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/no-national-league-speedway-at-rye-house-next-season/story-29885182-detail/story.html Last year was embarrassing. Only the NL4's made it bearable. If you're really that desperate to see NL racing, Mildenhall is only an hour or so away
  12. If they still run on Friday you'll need most of the weekend to get there
  13. Some people reading far too much into the DW tweet. Team speedway is slowly dying on its arse. Too expensive to run, not enough people paying through the gate. It can only go one way
  14. Could be they've tarmacked the old dog track for easier access. It was certainly in the plans
  15. From Hertfordshire Mercury http://m.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/scott-outlines-bold-plans-for-rye-house/story-29883976-detail/story.html
  16. The nearest Premiership track to me will be 209 miles away ☹️
  17. They demolished the lower bar. We used to stop by for a drink or two after the meetings, but there's only the bar at the top of the main stand which I've never been a fan of, so we don't bother.
  18. Rye are lucky to have a rail station bang on the doorstep and a pretty decent pub right next to the stadium
