Bryn Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The Rye House Cobras face three National League matches in the space of four days starting this Saturday with their home clash against the Plymouth Devils before they move onto Buxton on Sunday and Wolverhampton next Tuesday where they take on the Dudley Heathens. Joe Jacobs makes his home league debut against Plymouth on his seventeenth birthday on Saturday along with the experienced Ricky Scarboro who was signed last week to replace Ben Morley, out of action with a broken ankle. A home win over the Devils will not only make it a birthday to remember for young Joe but put the team in just the right frame of mind for the two away matches that follow, neither of which will be easy as Buxton currently lie third in the league and Dudley second, but the Cobras' aim is very much to collect three wins out of three if at all possible. Those attending Saturday's meeting, which gets underway at the usual time of 7pm, will also get the opportunity of meeting legendary Kiwi multi-world champion Ivan Mauger who will be present to sell and personally sign his autobiography, "The Will to Win." Looking ahead to the end of the month, Rye House boss Len Silver has revealed that admission to the Cobras home NL match against Scunthorpe on Saturday August 28 will be absolutely FREE for all ages, young and old alike!

Rockets Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Lots of rain overnight and this morning about seven miles away. Clearing up now but with further rain forecast this must be in doubt. Any news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Rain over night by the track, pretty grey at the moment, I'll keep things updated. Not going to this one as I have other plans, should be a good meeting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Just had confirmation from BSPA that match tonight is OFF - see below: URGENT SPEEDWAY POSTPONEMENT SATURDAY AUGUST 14: NATIONAL LEAGUE Rye House v Plymouth - OFF Not surprised given the amount of rain we've had in the last 24 hours, the fact that it's raining heavily down to road at Tottenham and the threatening skies above me! Nothing to do with me being the announcer tonight! Edited August 14, 2010 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Here comes the rain and plenty of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storming Norman Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I was surprised Len didn't call this off first thing as he he has done so often this season if the weather forecast isn't good. Presumably Plymouth were on route. Can Ivan come back next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient mariner Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I was surprised Len didn't call this off first thing as he he has done so often this season if the weather forecast isn't good. Presumably Plymouth were on route. Can Ivan come back next week? Shame, we were flogging our way through the weekend traffic (M5 was awful!) only to learn of the rain off. At least we hadn't travelled the whole way, though. Just hope my grandson gets another chance to meet the great man. Does anyone please know if Ivan has a planned itinerary or was this a one-off?
