cityrebel Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 You and Uncle Len can rest easy, there's about as much chance of me ever "cheering on Rye" as there is of that place where Satan stokes the firey furnance being hit by a snow and ice weather warning!! do you have to bring white hart lane into it!

Alan_Jones Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Now Tuesday... Biggest indiv. event of the NL season on Saturday afternoon and STILL no line up.. Come on, someone, somewhere must know the 16 riders due to line-up in the NLRC..?! Although the Rye House web site isn't always the 1st place to look for Hoddesdon news, the current line up has been on there since yesterday. 1. Nick Simmons (Isle of Wight), 2. Nicki Glanz (Plymouth), 3. Simon Lambert (King’s Lynn), 4. Lee Smart (Dudley), 5. Craig Cook (Buxton), 6. Mark Baseby (Bournemouth), 7. James Brundle (Bournemouth), 8. Adam Allott (Buxton), 9. Joe Jacobs (Rye House), 10. Darren Mallett (King’s Lynn), 11. Todd Kurtz (Newport), 12. Barrie Evans (Dudley), 13. Gary Irving (Scunthorpe), 14. *Ben Morley (Rye House), 15. Kyle Newman (Newport), 16. James Cockle (Weymouth). * Awaiting permission to replace the injured Kyle Hughes with Ben Morley, who's actually 3rd in line of the remaining Cobras I assume the Reserves will still be Tom Brown (Weymouth) and Steve Worrall (Scunthorpe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) This is an absolute disgrace. I've been dedicated to the third tier of British Speedway since 2002 but this is my lot now. How ironic that when the CL was rebranded the NL, we were told how much more professional it was all going to be. That's a bad joke. This season has been without doubt the most shambolic season ever in the history of the third tier; and now we end with this: treating the Riders Championship and what was left of the Fours with absolute and total contempt. I can see no future whatsoever now in the third division. Poole withdrawing their Buccs team. Weymouth possibly closing. Plymouth sensibly moving up to the Premier: I wish them all the best - they're a superb club. Mildenhall currently closed. Words cannot describe how angry I am about this. EDITED: I understand now that it may well have been the authorities rather than the staging club involved in this decision. I hope we the fans get the truth soon.

Blazeaway Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 This is an absolute disgrace. Rye House must NEVER be allowed to stage an NL/third tier open event ever again. In truth they never should've been. I've been dedicated to the third tier of British Speedway since 2002 but this is my lot now.

Agree with you mate, the irony is that Rye is one of the only tracks in the country that can run whenever they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Derek, but so what you are dedicated to 3rd tier of racing, - you stage it then, maybe on the m25/lakeside round-a-bout!! seriously not good news as Newport and still bloody 2pm!

BobC Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 prob cause newport now there in young shield according to fixtures, p**d off as just booked rooms so as to stay up there after lakeside on fri Snap. Once I found out that Kyle and Bren were riding at Lakeside on Friday,I booked the nearby Travelodge,in order to stop over for Rye,then onto Peterborough. Someone remind me to find a good reason to support British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Agree with you mate, the irony is that Rye is one of the only tracks in the country that can run whenever they want. What about the EWR at Scunthorpe? Scunthorpe PL are away Saturday... but perhaps they have Stockcars at the weekend... It looks like the BSPA didn't even try.

IW08 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 why go to such a crap track like Rye, which produces very little passing? There are surely much better options out there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well I was planning to visit Rye and then onto Peterboro - but now I won't be going to either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) This is the RH press release from today: Fixture Alert: Young Shield Replaces NL Championships The BSPA Management Committee has instructed Rye House that it must give precedence to the staging date of its Young Shield Semi-Final tie against Newport over the National League Fours and Riders Championship. The latter scheduled to be held at Hoddesdon this Saturday - has therefore reluctantly been postponed, with the Silver Ski Rockets instead meeting the Wasps at Rye House on Sunday, October 17th, with a 1pm start (gates open at 11am). This earlier than usual start time is to allow Newports Swedish riders to catch evening flights out of Stansted. The BSPAs decision is based upon the need to complete the Young Shield competition, allowing for any bad weather, before the season-ending deadline of October 31st and the option to find an alternative date for the National League event. Rye House apologises to any supporters inconvenienced by this late change, which is due to a directive beyond its control. ---------------------- So the finger now points at the BSPA over this. My question would be this. The YS match is - as clearly stated above - on Sunday... So why on earth has this led to Saturday afternoon's meeting being called off..? This makes no sense and if it is the case that the Management Committee have instructed that the NLRC (not to mention the 4s) can be cancelled with just a few days' notice (with very little chance of restaging...), what does this say about the sport's ruling body's attitude to the National League..?

kog Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 perhaps an email to the BSPA might get some answers? Oh no they never reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Has anyone thought of why the season must end at the end of october does it really matter if through circumstances such has happened these meetings run into the 1st or 2nd week in november.??

GMILLS Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 What a joke the BSPA dont think of us the fans in situations like this, my family have booked hotels in the Rye area on Saturday taken time off work to go down to cheer on Cookie on Saturday and now this no wonder crowds are what they are these days with treatment like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
