Phil Silvers Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 quoted from ryehouse.com: (after BH Monday injuries) So all that lot leaves Uncle Len and John thumbing through the averages to try to line up a couple of replacements. This weekend Little Ben will get his chance and good luck to the lad who like many young riders is maturing at a pace and this might just be his moment. Strangely despite the mayhem there were positives to come out of Monday. The Admiral looked like he'd just rewound to the end of 2011, Which translates to: Ben Morley will be Simon Lamberts replacment until he recovers from his broken ankle. WTF...'The Admiral'............LMAO who thinks of these stupid nicknames....? Win for Somerset and frozen nads for all the spectators.

Oafski Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The Met Office Site is predicting an almost tropical 7 degrees for 1900 hrs on Saturday so not too bad. Have to say you are probably right that our depleted team might be overwhelmed by the Visitors but I'm equally sure the Lads will make them work had for their victory and it may well be closer than we think. It's never over till the Fat Lady sings and she hasn't even cleared her throat yet. C'mon the Rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I was thinking perhaps an away defeat before the unfortunate injuries, now I'm certain Somerset will leave with the points, perhaps not all 4 though... Rider replacement gives Garrity and Nelson an extra ride, but then the slow starting Lykke and Morely have to divide the other two rides between them, not ideal.

Vincent Vega Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Dont have any rows with Somerset fans about chairs Shadders!! Going back to your team would you like Rob Mear back at Hoddesden in a doubling up role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave1 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) R/R is O.K. if the rider they are replacing is not on the pace but it looked like Jason Bunyan was starting to look as good as he was before his injuries from a few seasons ago and his points will be missed.

Cliffeboy Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Gutted I`m missing my traditional Rebels opener,hope it`s a great match and a safe one. Have the reported track problems been sorted. Looking to Doyley to continue his good start to the season,he was brilliant in the rain affected match last time. If Josh and Nick perform I think the Rebels will have a good chance of winning. It will be interesting to see how Alex goes, he has been the stand out rider so far for us imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolly Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Dont have any rows with Somerset fans about chairs Shadders!! Going back to your team would you like Rob Mear back at Hoddesden in a doubling up role? Rob was at Rye last weekend and not very complimentary about The Rockets when it was mentioned that he might want to rejoin the team for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossMan Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I remember the days when a Rye thread used to be many pages long! May be making my first visit to a meeting this year if I can find enough clothes to wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Shame I'm out tonight as this has the makings of a cracker all over it after both teams impressive wins last night. Get the feeling Ryes strength in depth will see them through in the end, but only just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the updates site? If so, could you please either leave a message here or send me an email or pm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelRebel Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) With Doyley having ridden for the Rockets before and with Josh and Stefan both expressing their liking for the track (So much so that Stefan scored his first NL 18 point maximum there) I'd like to think that we could run the rockets close and sneak a win but looking at how they dismantled Plymouth last night then I think a point might be more realistic.

tocha Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Wont happen. Mear has burnt his bridges by falling out with the big 'cheese' It won't happen as Rob has no interest in riding in the PL. He said so during his interview with Craig Saul last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 And yet another delay at Rye. This time the suns too bright. They are saying the SUN is causing havoc. Anybody know what this Sun thing is all about?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Fair result in the end. Both sides will be pleased to have come away with something. Nelson was in some discomfort after his heat 4 trip through the fence, which may explain his lacklustre showing for the rest of the meeting. Just bruising I heard. There is an issue with the position of the referee's box obviously as he missed a few incidents on the 4th bend with riders down and kickboards being dislodged. It's not the first time this has happened. Some of the riders were having problems with the bottom turn, same as last week. Not sure if it's the same issues as last week, or something different. I didn't hang around after the meeting to see any of the riders in the bar after the meeting to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startline sid Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 They are saying the SUN is causing havoc. Anybody know what this Sun thing is all about?? very simple really the setting sun was low in the sky shining into the riders eyes entering the 3rd bend - about 10 mins delay to allow sun to set - no problem really have seen this happen at many tracks over the years - at least it was a bit warmer tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
