Shadders

Laughing at some Glasgow fans attempting to justify these price hikes. Doubt many of them feel any different from the rest of us. A complete and utter piss take.

I'd be very surprised if Rob Branford is back with the Raiders after the way he's been treated (if what's been said on other threads has any substance). The Raiders will be looking for a new number one

What with the balls up with Robert Lambert and NBJ, it's not been the most auspicious start for the fledgling Rye promotion. Hope Rob gets a team spot sooner rather than later.

Perhaps riders are wary of committing to Somerset in case they're dumped a few weeks before the season starts when some other guy becomes available

Newport used to charge 50p to sit in the grandstand. Pretty sure they ditched that idea a couple of years before they closed down. Last time I was at Kings Lynn (in their PL days) a large metal stand was assembled next to the pits on the home straight with a £1 charge to sit on. Don't recall many taking that option up.

Couldn't possibly comment until I know exactly what happened

The ice cream sellers need to recoup their money somehow

That's a hefty price hike. The extra quid to sit in the stand is a mickey take

It was an awful meeting. I missed the only decent race

Indeed, and the best burgers at any speedway track

A true Scot wouldn't be bothered by the cold. You've gone soft

Shouldn't be running a forum if they can't have contingency plans in that case

You can only do two of those there

Some people have short memories

Doubt it very much

. I'd rather watch a winning side in a so called "dump" than a losing team in a modern stadium. I don't go to speedway for the facilities. As long as there's somewhere to park the car, buy a coffee and have a slash I'm satisfied

Ain't that the truth!Although the average mid March temperature in the UK is slightly lower than late October

Wonder if Branford will be interested now

We both missed the best race of the meeting

Watching speedway in March can be torture wherever you are. The coldest I've been was at the Ben Fund meeting at Berwick a couple of years ago. No amount of Scotch pies and coffee helped. I gave up before the last heat and retreated to the Black & Gold to warm up. Foxhall is cold even in the summer once the sun has disappeared behind the 3rd bend.

Clearly not a trophy winning side, but the key will be winning at home to get people through the gate. Without them there will be no future for speedway at Rye House.

They're few and far between since my youngest was born last December

He was a guest for us at Ipswich last year. In the four races he started he didn't complete one. I doubt he did half a dozen laps in total

You had one in Alex "three laps" Edberg. Very frustrating

There are a few of those around
