Rye House 2014


Recommended Posts

Can I ask. There seems to be talk of the EL falling apart and the leagues combining and because of that little team planning can be done. Is this because sky sports is allegedly threatening to withdraw its coverage or for some other reason that has passed me by?

 

As well as not being on SKY, it would more importantly mean that SKY would not be paying a large amount each year for the rights to screen it. It is estimated that each EL gets about £90k per year from the TV deal.

90k - and still losing money??? makes one wonder what some riders are being paid in the 'EL', and how much is spent on airfares...one league seems a good idea, but how many PL teams would want to join in?? Rye has the makings of a top PL team for next year but one league, hmmm

Rye had the makings of good team this year until we signed our last rider Simon Lambert on 4.41 average whilst we had 6.99 pts to play with. Garrity at reserve for the start of the season and we could have been flying. Len quoted that he doesn't look at the averages, hope he does next season.

Len looks at one thing only .CASH. Not spending much on decent riders.

Which is why Rye House will run speedway next year, and the next, and the next. You would prefer to be a Newport fan, Phil? Or are you really Doberman, rather than Bilko?

 

 

Newport and Rye have one major thing in common. Both were fed crap sides by their promoters and both sets of fans were treated like s"it on the bottom of their shoe by the promoters resulting in hundreds walking away.

 

I wouldn't be so sure of Rye's continued existence if I was you.

Newport were fine when they had crap sides, when they went s*** or bust hoping that would bring the crowds back was were the problems started IMO.

 

From our last fixture of this season to the first next season we could have a gap of almost 7 months without competitive speedway at Rye, that is terrible.

 

Don't believe any of this one big league rubbish, not seen it speculated by anyone other than fans yet. Can see the PL points limit dropping though, 38.5 has been rumoured. Start with Mellgren, Aspgren, Nelson, Boxall and Garrity and sign the other two depending on whats left. Bunyan and one other would be my picks and lets build up to the limit!

Doesnt matter what team you build Rocketben I will still predict a Witches win by 20! winking smiley!

I think we are talking about Rockets team, not Milton Keynes MDL side against whom you might just scrape a couple of point win :D Edited by bolly
