cityrebel Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 weather permitting, this coming saturday sees buxton visit the launch pad. with a general lack of intrest in the raiders this season and weak looking opposition, i can't see this fixture attracting many punters.

waco Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 The Raiders are normally the weak team with our long tail...But Buxton will be the under dogs here after their slaughter at Dudley..Rob Branford will give it a go ,but has little back up at the top end,,but the rest could pick up a few points from our off the pace reserves... Our top 4 should have a field day...... I will regretfully miss this meeting due to work commitments..Thank god for 2T TV s excellent videos which can be purchased at a special rate of £5 the following week... Hope all the lads have a good safe meeting ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builderbob Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 got the raiders to win but they are no dudley so i think priest, mcninna, and felton will do a lot better here,branford will score heavily, however the home track advantage on ryes toy track will see them through.

Shadders Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 home track advantage on ryes toy track will see them through. The track at Buxton is smaller by about 20 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Richard Franklin comes into the Raiders team at no 2 ..Shane Hazelden moving to no 4 and luke Chessle dropping to res at no 7 making the side a bit more balanced for the match against Buxton on saturday ..Nick Lee having withdrawn from the team...A guest reserve at no 6 completes the side that also includes,, Jason Garrity at no 1..Ben Morley at no 3 (captain ),, and James Sarjeant at no 5 ..Start 7PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy bill Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 its good to know buxton tried to sign franklin but he is now riding for rye house so is it for more money or he likes their track i hope we can get a decent points scorer to replace andrews we are still a 7 or 8 point man short but who is there to sign if we are being out priced all the time this league is becoming a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Central Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 its good to know buxton tried to sign franklin but he is now riding for rye house so is it for more money or he likes their track i hope we can get a decent points scorer to replace andrews we are still a 7 or 8 point man short but who is there to sign if we are being out priced all the time this league is becoming a joke I think you know the answer on why Richard is riding for Rye - he does like the track but it will be for more money than Buxton would offer and that is probably the reason why Buxton can't attract any riders with higher averages.

This could be travelling costs, not necessarily points money. I don't know where Richard's base is, but perhaps he worked out the fuel costs meant that Rye House was the better option for him.
