  1. Link here: http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Sport/Speedway/No-place-for-Olly-Allen-in-2014-Rye-House-Rockets-team-20131028114351.htm
  2. Weather forecast not too good for tonight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646057
  3. Final round of the Euro Championships is tomorrow.
  4. Agreed. Never say never. In the meatime and leaving team riding aside, was the performance by Craig Cook the best seen by any rider around Foxhall this season. I have been to just a few meetings this season but his effortless style, seemingly just letting the bike to do all the work, was very impressive
  5. Never mind about him, it is Dyer the Flyer Rye House have to worry about.
  6. Taken from Lakeside website: Vortex Hammers Number 1 Peter Karlsson has suffered a fracture of the T6 vertebra & rib injuries following his shocking heat 15 crash at King’s Lynn on Wednesday evening. All at the club wish PK well for a speedy recovery, his length of absence is undetermined at this stage. Chris Harris will race for the Hammers at Number 1 in next weeks return to the Norfolk Arena (4th September) and two days earlier when the Hammers visit the Poole Pirates which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
  7. I thought they were great and so competitive. I reckon Kyle Bickley is one to watch for the future as we doing with Robert Lambert. He has his own website already and is following in Robert's footsteps by riding on the continent as well. Tender age of eleven just now. However, well done all riders and also to Phil Morris and Neil Vatcher for the work they are putting into developing British riders of the future.
  8. Leon Madsen was the highest non-qualifier so either him or one of the programmed reserves.
  9. Latest on Chris Harris: http://www.birminghambrummies.co/bomber-gets-bad-break/
  10. If it is to be a weekend fixture, the only date I can see is as part of a double header on 17th August, the day Ipswich visit. Next weekend Rye are away both Saturday and Sunday. The week after, Ipswich have obliged fellow Thursday club Redcar by holding their home match on Saturday 10th, the same day Rye host Leicester. Rye visit Leicester the following day.
  11. Could drag on well into the evening. I don't know if anything is happening at the Rye circuit tomorrow, but I thought it would have been better to re-stage the meeting then. Neither side are in action tomorrow and we know the weather forecast is good. We don't know what it will be like on 26th August though.
  12. Might be just as well if it is rained off. Tyson was injured last night at Sheffield and misses what would have been his debut as a Hammer tonight,
  13. Confirmed on Eurosport planner. If you have set your sky plus box to record series it might not pick up the revised time. Good idea to check if you are not around to watch it live.
  14. One solution is closer to home. Get Steve Boxall into the side. Full maximum for Kent last night.
  15. Yet, tonight he rode as a guest for Lakeside against Wolves.scoring 5 points from 4 rides. He won heat two then almost brought the house down by leading Freddie Lindgren for 3 laps before the Swedish ace found a way through. I am guessing he got time to practice and, more importantly, advice on set-ups from Davey Watt and PK.
  16. I might go along to this, weather permitting. It will give me chance to pop in to see the new John Lewis beforehand as there are a few household items I need. That is Lewis, not Louis BTW. You know - never knowingly undersold!
  17. One small crumb of comfort. At least RR for Mear is better the RR for Garrity. All remaining team members are eligible to take his rides instead of just Bunyan and reserves.
  18. We had to wait a while for the Christmas Cracker but not long for the Summer Cracker. Fantastic meeting.
  19. Not much of a racing record though. His only meeting in 5 years: http://speedwayresults.com/result.php?type=1707&season=2011 In the meantime the rider Kentl hoped for has joined King's Lynn: http://www.kingslynnyoungstars.co/index.php/national/young-stars-news/152-young-stars-statement-over-robert-lambert
  20. Not necessarily the case and could be good news both for the rider and club. Lewis almost walked away from the sport last year citing lack of both fixtures and income. He would come in on an average of 8.59. The stumbling block could be fixture clashes. With Lakeside on a roll and, just now, probably the strongest 1 -7 in the EL, he is an integral part of that set-up so might put aside personal gain for the good of Lakeside's ambition.
