Jason Doyle in for the invisible number 1 at Rye House and Richard Lawson in at Sheffield. If anybody's bothered ???

Know all I thought you had gone home when he fell

Wheres Cockle ??? Might have to get the 'Morleyometer' going today but not half as predictable as James But give James his due, we had to wait till 3rd or 4th ride before he fell off last time he visited.

Jacobs and Sergeant as outsiders with a chance ??

Weathers looking good. Hope for a good meeting. Garrity must start as favourite, but even with Heeps and Roynon out there's still 5 or 6 in the frame if Jason makes any mistakes.

I thought you might be quite interested in the new Saturday night programme 'Britains Got Strictly Pie and Mash Eating on Ice' But I think the titles a bit of a mouthfull

Rye House announce that Gjedde will guest for our absent No. 1 Doyle Ok, ok, but it seems that Jason has ridden more for us than Charlie has. Remember everybody that if we don't win this one we won't make into the very prestigious 'Premier Challenge' competition, so everybody turn up and give a big hurrah to our boys (by the way if you cant remember who our boys are they will be wearing Red and Blue helmets) Edinburgh have Doolan and Dilger replacing injured riders. But maybe if we lose we will at least have a big wooden thing to hit Frampton, Hawkins and Gjedde with

Dont cry Shads, I hear Ricky Wells has offered to stand in for Charlie

Money Saving Ideas for Len. 1. Instead of having all those noisey Motorbikes and expensive riders - Continue with having the track staff and marshalls paraded around the track to the strains of 'Those Magnificent men in their flying machines' then two hours of of us all gripped with excitement watching Terry the start marshall check the starting gate and tapes, maybe a little practice of red flag waving, formation shale spreading from the buildup near the kick boards and finish off with a cescendo of Len driving round grading the track. 2. Saturday morning fishing contest in the river 'Lea' as most of the minnows caught will be just about the right size to be battered and sold as fish and chips in the Chippie. 3. Maybe some static exhibits of things like 'Bike Maintenace' from Steve Boxall, or tours of track from Tommy Allen showing all the spots where he fell off (if time is available), maybe Charlie G could give us a slide show of what I did during the summer (because he hasn't been at Rye House much.) The kids could have fun with a metal detector trying to find the non-metallic parts of Lukes legs (I am sure that he doesn't go to hospital anymore but Kev has got a big Meccano set at home ))). Its been a bad season in most respects, injuries, weather and results. But it can only get better next year.

I believe that dependent on the average that Kasper Lykke finishes the season on, that he will increase his average next year. He normally stays with whoever he is riding against and is pretty fearless at overtaking in places where it is often considered impossible. The problem is that he normally gives the opposition a 10m head start as his gating is so poor. I have seen Neathy giving him tips at the start gates after meetings, but as I am not a rider myself I do not know if gating can be learnt or if it is just speed of reaction to an outside trigger which is genetic ?? I think he will improve next year and will improve a lot more if he can get his gating sorted. If averages dictate that he can start at reserve next year then I think he is a 'no brainer' to be included in the line up.

Posted Today, 04:12 PM hooversquash, on 03 September 2012 - 05:01 AM, said: How about introducing a Polish rider somewhere in the team. Would certainly help the crowd numbers! How about intoduce a travelling circus Pikey!! Certainly help pullin more punters from the immediate catchment area.. Or has that already been done! Excuse Me, that will be Mr Pikey to you. For your knowledge we had at least a dozen Polish spectators that I saw and spoke to at last weeks meeting. With at least 20 'Polska Skleps' in the local area there has to be a largish local Polish community and speedway being a major sport in Poland it may not be a silly idea to try and encourage a few more through the gates. Somebody like Kosciuch or Buczkowski may even be good enough to get a reserve berth in the team

Westham, My punctuation maybe ? John said 'very difficult to get riders', I added the £30 a point after a jokey remark remarks about how much is paid to PL riders. Shads, yea a relook at his last efforts mean he could be better than I thought and a lot etter than Ricky Wells ))

Josh Grajconek is guesting for Charlie on Monday (gawd elp us) But John Sampford says its very difficult to get decent riders if your only paying £30.00 a point

As I said earlier, Masters latest average on greensheets is 7.55. Rye had 10.57 to play with prior to Simon Lambert joining. If Lambert stays, then Charlie, Anders or Kasper will have to make way for him. ( I hope not ) Even if they rest Garrity whilst injured and bing in a 3.00 rider I can't see how it can be done ???

I tend to agree with you Westham and Shadders. It was just food for thought )) But as you say Westham Len is very loyal and I think that you will find that Ben will be back next year ???

Howabout this to finish the season ??? Forget about Simon Lambert. Rye have 10.57 to play with on current averages. Redeclare with Sam Masters (7.55) and Ben Morley (3.00 ??) total 10.55 ?? Food for thought ??

Yes Shads, gone are the days when you had your own personal stalker ))) Nowadays Vega has all but disappeared and you have gone on to taking on the the opposing premier league teams supporters single handedly. How many clubs stewards have had a quiet word with you ??? Your my hero 'Super Shads, the Rocket Revenger' Watch out for the flying plate of Pie and Mash )))

Depends how you do it I think ? Latest Greensheets show with 5 riders, CJ,AM,JB,JG and JLN we have 31.93 ave so if team redeclared we have 10.57 to play with. If you replace like for like, Luke on 5.57 and Richie on 5.38. Slightly less points on team redeclaration but easier to play with. Amazing but true we could just fit in Steve and Tommy in on these averages

As I stated the other day on Rye House 2012 thread. Ben Morley guests in place of Richie on Saturday

As my brother just said to me. Now is the time for the return of the dynamic duo to save Rye House in there darkest Hours BRING BACK TOMMY AND STEVE. Sign below for my new campaign to restore the glory days with 'The Boxmeister' and 'Tommy Gun'. Obviously the stress has got to me, I'll get me coat.

Wheres Chris ??? I thought he would be on here already, slagging off and abusing Len for his mistake in announcing the hiring of a rider that was not finalised. Although I must admit on this one, its a right c*** up and egg on the managements faces. Whos going to ride on Saturday ?, if I was Richie I would tell them where to shove it !!! So I wouldnt be suprised to see young Ben making another appearance.

Green sheet averages are over the last 30 something meetings as I understand ? On recent outings (this year) Simon Lambert 4.91 Richie Hawkins 6.20 As I say, I hope Lens picked a good'un.

According to the figures on Spedway Stats ( http://speedway-stats.co.uk/Rider/236.aspx ) This year Richie has a much higher average than Simon in the Premier League ?? (but details only updated until June 2012) I hope Len knows what he is doing ??

We were just talking about it last night. How long would Len last, normally he waits till end of season. Especially as it doesn't look like we are going to get near a play off spot. Its a big pity as I was happy when we signed him and he always appears to be giving 100% and every now and then suprises us all. But just hasn't produced the goods on a regular basis. To late now to save the season now, is this in anticipation of the first half of next season ? Until Luke is fit again ?

So according to some on here, next year we have a team which is going to be; 1. Neath or Gjedde 2. Lykke 3. Mellgren 4. R/R (Bowen) 5. Lanham 6. Bunyan 7. Garrity If as I suspect Len will save a place for Luke when he is ready to return that leaves just the No. 1 spot to fill. As Len has already had his rush of blood to the head by signing Lykke recently I would think he will go back to the old faithfuls and have Neath if fit at No. 1 or if not fit then try and keep Gjedde for another year. Now I have spoilt everybodies fun over the close season by telling you all of next years team already
