Mike.Butler Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 how many do you reckon was there tonight shads. i gave it a miss because i'm not a lover of individual meetings and i'm still feeling knackered after going to lee richardson's meeting at arena last night. i felt that event was a far more worthy cause to spend my hard earned wonga on. You're starting to show your age Tony....Along with Paul!...Neither he nor you being able to manage two meetings in two days!..re the atmosphere i think it was always going to feel flat after friday... at least I got a prog! I now need one from Rico's meeting thanx to them only printing a quarter of the demand...i'm not an e-bay man tbh....need someone to keep an eye out for me please...

Hazza29 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well I don't know what heathen1984 is on about? Thought it was a very good meeting! Great line up to! Well done ash birks! Fully deserved. Garrity was unlucky but rode very well. Lewi Kerr must be happy with how he rode and was unlucky when leading to have an ef but pleased to see him progress lately. All in all I really enjoyed the night at rye house. Good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Has it ended yet?  A very long drawn out affair last night, too many falls, stoppages etc  As Shadders said Birks, Garrity and Irving looked a class above, and Perry put in a couple of good rodes but overall pretty dull meeting.  Lewis Kerr also looked on the pace and was unlucky to stop when leading a race.  Not the best night for the Mildenhall three, but there you go can't win everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012  As Shadders said Birks, Garrity and Irving looked a class above, and Perry put in a couple of good rodes but overall pretty dull meeting.   Those four have prob been the best 4 Nl lads in the PL to, now ladS like Morris Blackbird Kerr,Jacobs Nielsen etc have to follow them and step up to the the plate,its what is needed,the more riders stepping up is a great way to make the NL prosper  Well dont to Ash Birks,a nicer lad you will not meet and deserves all he gets out of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Well done to Ash, classy performer & deserving winner. Can't take that away from him. Six excellent gates was enough on the night. I feel Jason Garrity was caught out once or twice at the start, especially in the run off with the speed the ref let the tapes go up. Can anyone shed any light on why the referee wouldn't allow the riders to inspect the start gates during the delays?

I now need one from Rico's meeting thanx to them only printing a quarter of the demand...i'm not an e-bay man tbh....need someone to keep an eye out for me please... hi mike, regarding yesterday's sporting events. in my eyes i made two good decisions, firstly i turned down a ticket for the arsenal game at £62! and secondly i gave last night a miss, which by various accounts seemed a long drawn out meeting. so in summary, this morning i've woke up £100 richer!. regarding the rico prog, if any turn up on ebay at a fair price, i will get you one. regards tony.

rhidassa Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I would just point out I think they are re-printing programmes for the Rico Memorial. I'm sure it'll be advertised on here when they're for sale, rather than buying from private individuals on ebay, who may or may not be giving any profits to the #RICO fund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle bought a ticket for East upper from a tout, bunged the turnstile operator ten bob and got my brother and me in where we sat on each knee. Spent almost the entire game watching the trains go by on the East coast main line! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedwayAce Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 First visit to Rye House yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the event. Great set-up at the stadium. Yes there were a few falls and delays but come on let's support our stars of tomorrow. There was some good racing and the lads were giving it their best efforts, and watching the other races in between their own rides to see how the track was going. Nice gesture by Ashley to give Jason a ride back to the pits after coming off his bike in the run off. Went to the RICO meeting on Friday and the Rye House meeting yesterday, wouldn't be fair to compare the difference between the two meetings, but all credit to our young National league lads for their efforts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftstudios Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Rather than starting a new thread, I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to Ashley who won the National League Rider's title this weekend at Rye House. Â Anybody get down there? Was it a deserved win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I agree. Â Not a brilliant meeting but not a bad one either and enough to keep me entertained, particularly with Tom Perry about. Â Some very sporting comments made by Garrity at Mildenhall on Sunday regarding the run off; all credit to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Some very sporting comments made by Garrity at Mildenhall on Sunday regarding the run off; all credit to him. Jason Garrity gets some bad press, but you can't fault his enthusiasm and tenacity. He's come on loads this year, developing into a cracking rider and has matured greatly. Very entertaining to watch and the kind of speedway rider who people will turn up to watch. Leicester fans may not like him, but Rockets fans think he's the mutts nuts. We're very lucky to have him.

KenB1 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 And you can see how Ashley won the event on the Herts Mercury website, or the whole meeting on a double DVD from T2TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
