Rye House 2012

Len has applied to the BSPA for permission to sign Anders Mellgren as a short term replacement for the continued absence of Nelson. If he is successful, Mellgren will make his debut at Somerset on Good Friday. This rider was part of the Newport team, which achieved a surprise away win at Hoddesdon last year, scoring 11 + 2 from the reserve berth.

Rye House will remain within the points limit, so I don't see any objection.

great to see Anders getting his chance. His end of season form was superb and his partnership with Charlie Gjedde superb at 1+2 ..wonder if Rockets will pair them together ???

That'd mean Hawkins and Bowen at 3 & 4 :o

Not heard that particular rumour, but I wouldn't be surprised considering the date is April 1st!!

Very enjoyable meeting last night. Tai and eddie were class and Jensen looked brilliant. For the Rockets Bowen and Garrity were both very competitive and nice to see Jordan get some laps in. I hate to say it but Hawkins was the only one off the pace. I hope Len is ruthless enough to replace him with Nelson when his visa is available.

No brainer again for Silver really, like last season with Doyle/Boxall/Hawkins. Nelson for Hawkins when he gets his visa and Rye could be right up there.

 

Gjedde

Bowen

Nelson

Mellgren

Frampton

Garrity

Bunyan

 

Very solid line up and would challenge.

It was suggested to me last night that as Mellgren is a straight replacement for Nelson, upon his return Mellgren would have to give way... That is the same situation as Doyle/Boxall last year. Even Len Silver didn't know that rule... Or have I been April fooled?

Why should his application be rejected?

You have the question why someone would change both their surname and then only be known by that surname, so is in effect being known as a name that is not his own. There have been all sorts of rumours about his past, maybe the UK authorities have just caught up with them?

 

Or it could just be an admin thing. But based on the stories I head, I was amazed they let him into the country last year if even half of them things were true!

Haven't Travis McGowan and Jason Doyle had their visa applications similarly rejected?... Do they have a "past" too?

Yes but Jason now has one and theres no suggestion that Travis' will be permanent, unlike Tysons.

Someone at Rye House surely knows what's going on, but the supporters are always the last to know!
