Rye House 2014

[BigDave1]

With the rumours of Rye going EL. How about this as a 1-7. Obviously it's only for fun but would certainly bring back the old faces who have deserted the terraces.

1. Tai Woffinden.

2. Stuart Robson.

3. Eddie Kennett.

4. Anders Mellgren.

5. Linus Sundstrom.

6. Tyson Nelson.

7. Jason Garrity.

Now THAT'S a team!

Though replace Nelson with Stevie Boxall!

Shaders is very noticeable by his absence. Where are you sir?

I can't help but think the whole EL thing is a spoof or rumour. I really can't see the controlling promoters there being brave enough to make the sort of changes that are required for Len to take the leap.

Shadders can be found in the rye House group on Facebook

Only Len knows what he wants to do next year but i think we will all know everything including the team next week. With a watered down Elite i really do see us there rather than a watered down PL. I think all the riders mentioned are real possibilities apart from an injury prone Stuart Robson. Only downside to all this would be the admission cost which surely would Rocket along with a possible need for a change of race night. Either way wherever we are i hope for once it's an injury free season.

Can you really see Wolves letting Tai go out on loan? Especially considering slow Fred has told them he won't be back next season. Dave Watt is far more likely.

wow - 9 pages in such a short time - shows Unlcle Len & his actions still create reactions after all these years!

Still around fella. Settling into our new home, half a mile or so from the track. Not much to comment on at this time of the year, so I'm keeping my powder dry until we hear anything worthy of a mention. Edited November 17, 2013 by Shadders

I am waiting with interest to see Len Silver's views on the BSPA AGM.

[Rockets]

The EL is a shambles. Thank goodness Len did nt decide to go up.

[iand]

I wonder if the new rules changes will have any effect on the shape of our team. Will Garrity, Boxall, Bowen make the lists being compiled as Elite reserves?

Was he ever really thinking about a change of leagues? There was never - so far as I can see - anything from Len or the club about this. Again it seems to have just been supporters who debated the pros and cons of such a happening taking place?

Here is the Len Silver/Rye House reaction to the BSPA AGM.

Once again disappointed in the conference

Extended home league fixtures? For me dump the League Cup and the playoffs, have have two home and away meetings against each club supplemented with the KO Cup. winners of the League are...well Champions.

What we will inevitably get is What always seems to me as a match against Ipswich every other week, not knocking Ipswich as they must be sick of us too

Yes of course people will say about all the travelling but is that really an issue anymore, rarely do we see much of visiting fans except the likes of Berwick and Leicester and as far as the riders are concerned long gone are the days that they lived locally to their home track.

With a great track like Peterborough seemingly gone i doubt i'll do many EL meetings but will probably once again be seeing most of my racing at Mildenhall and Kent. Last year provided infrequent meetings at Hoddesdon and next season will see much of the same. The only bit of close season news that will excite me is if Linus comes back as No1

[Rockets]

On the team front I would have thought that JG AM and TN must please be nailed on. Would nt have been surprised to see Eddie K back if he came I at 8 ish. It would be dream time if Linus came back whatever average he was on. Assuming no big averaged number one would like to see Stevie B back and maybe Pontus. That would leave two to fill. If NL riders are required for EL then I can see Ben perhaps riding there and for Kent - Waco? I think Luke should head Kent - he will need some proper time back in the saddle before mixing it with the PL big boys.

From the Rye web page.....

 

Following the agreement at the Conference to maintain a starting points limit for each Premier League club of 42.5, the Silver Ski Rockets can now get down to the serious business of formulating their 2014 squad, with Silver saying, “We went into the Conference with several possible team permutations according to what might be agreed there. Now that it is over, and the league format and points limit are settled, we are hoping to have everything in place rider-wise in the near future.We are going to build a team at least one full point below the 42.5 point limit to ensure that we are non-competitive from the start of the campaign...........”

"Plus we'll be using Luke Bowen who has been out for nearly two years. He's on a 5 point average, which we expect to drop considerably, but Luke is like a son to me and we have to get him in. It means we'll be even weaker, but I feel Jason Bunyan can prove his GP credentials and average well over ten this year" Silver concluded

My Posts take time in appearing but this interesting item re Luke Bowen came up on the Rye House website yesterday (Wednesday November 20). It's good to see loyalty in the sport being rewarded.
