elnno Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Robbo’s Return All roads lead to Rye House Speedway this Saturday’s (September 20th) for the Chris Neath Testimonial Meeting. The main event will be an individual championship based on the Olympique-style handicapping system, with race winners starting 30 metres back in their next outings, second placed riders 20 metres back, and so on, to ensure a night of passing and thrills. The tremendous breaking news ahead of the meeting is the confirmed inclusion in the main event of Stuart Robson, who has been absent from racing since suffering serious injury at Mildenhall on April 30th 2007. Primarily associated with Coventry, Rye House and Newcastle, Robson is a former Inter-Continental, double Overseas and 6-time British Finalist. Perhaps more importantly, he has been hugely popular on the terraces, and fully deserves the “Super Robbo” moniker he has been given by supporters. Chris himself is delighted to have Robbo on-board for Saturday’s meeting. “It’s an absolute bonus for the Rye fans – and everyone in speedway – to be able to see Robbo in action again. He’s been moto-crossing, and I heard that he had a spin at Peterborough a couple of weeks ago and looked really sharp, so you know that he’s going to go out there and give it 110% like he’s always done. Plus, he’s a really good guy and helped to bind the team together at Rye to achieve the success we did between 2005 and 2007.” Stuart Robson joins a field that also includes Grand Prix stars Freddie Lindgren and Niels Kristian Iversen and fellow Elite League rivals Mads Korneliussen, Danny King, Steve Johnston, Leigh Lanham and David Howe, plus Jason Doyle, Kevin Doolan and Brent Werner. The Silver Ski Rockets are represented by Tai Woffinden, Tommy Allen, Stefan Ekberg and Chris himself. The meeting reserves are Rye’s Robert Mear and Luke Bowen. Chris Holder is unfortunately a withdrawal from the meeting due to U-21 World Cup commitments, with his replacement to be confirmed as of press time. Please note that the above rider listing is subject to late availability changes. In addition to the main event, two demonstration match races are scheduled between 1993 World Champion Sudden Sam Ermolenko and former World Cup and Pairs titlist Rocket Ronnie Correy. Their presence at Rye on Saturday is also personally significant for Chris. “I grew up watching Sudden Sam and Rocket Ronnie on the terraces at Wolverhampton. They are true legends at Monmore Green, and icons for me from my youth through to my riding days, so it means so much to have them here on Saturday.” Not to be outdone, former West Ham, Sunderland and Crayford star Gentleman George Barclay is also planning a skid on vintage equipment. The gates open at 5pm, with tapes up at 7pm following the pre-meeting parade. There will be musical entertainment both before and after the meeting, and also a post-meeting auction of race jackets and other items. For further details on any of the above, please e-mail Rye House Speedway at silvers@silverski.co.uk or contact Stephanie Babb on 07901 976912 or via stephanie_20016@yahoo.com.

For the kids there will be an "appearance" from some of the animals from the Paradise WildLife Park. Davey Watt has replaced Neils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonkers Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Ummm - because they might enjoy it? What's your problem?! It's a speedway meeting FFS..... If I wanted my children to see some animals I'd take them to the bloody farm ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 It's a speedway meeting FFS..... And it is also Neath's Testimonial meeting so if he wants animals there then that is up to him! Good for him I say. I only hope they all have ear protectors, or are taken away before the bikes start up. I can see the stampedeing now!! Not sure if it has been mentioned but Rory Schlein wont be riding. He spoke to Chris and pulled out earlier in the week following his crash on Monday. He has struggled with heavy bruising to his hip and could barely walk. Since then he has improved and Coventry have now called him to ride for them at Eastbourne. He will however still have to wait till the morning for a final fitness test before riding. I would have loved to have come over for this (with or without roo riding) but wont be able to now. It looks like Chris is going to have superb weather and I hope that swells the numbers. have a great day every one - especially Mini-Lupus. I know what this one means to you guys.

Isn’t today the day when we hear of about, hmmm! let me see 10 rider changes. So come on then someone give us the final line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Surprising really given Rye's usual fantastic lines of communication..... Not sure what this has to do with Rye House and their lack of communication. They provide the track and surely it's the rider or his committee that provide the rest. His responsibility as if no one turns up it is he who will suffer. By the inclusion of Stuart Robson he has probably put 500 on to the gate Edited September 20, 2008 by westhamboy66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
