Phil Silvers Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) So as it seems I am not arsed about speedway anymore I thought I would make the effort and start the final RH home thread of 2013. Somerset lead by 28 points from the first leg one week ago so this I am afraid is a foregone conclusion as to where the KO Cup will end up. Len will suprise everyone by announcing a humungenous signing for 2014......................................

Starman2006 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 If the weather is kind and the Somerset boys all turn up in one piece, i can't even see Rye even winning this meeting. But im sure that Garry and Bish will want to make sure the boys do a professional job and finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 The lads managed to get within 6 points of Rye with only three riders and a guest on their last visit, so a 28 point cushion should be enough with all seven available this time to hopefully pick up our third trophy this season.

Alan_Jones Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I like the Speedway Star Match of the Week feature, they only give the Rebels an 18 point lead. Still too much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye House a premier league team against a team with at least 4 riders in elite league team squad’s and 3 of them are in the playoff’s. Good luck Rye house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillpool Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Tapes aren't even up yet and there's all sorts kicking off in the fish bar...there's no fish and there's no mushy peas. When will the promoters realise that situations like this drives away the fans. Oh wait a minute, hang on...the track shop are selling lucky dip bags for a fiver. Apparently they're great value. Phew, that should appease the angry mob currently trashing the fish bar. I'll go and tell them that they can go and get a bag full of tut that they couldn't sell throughout the season for a bargain of five pounds. Anyway, if you see me come and say hello. I'm wearing my 1977 Ivan Mauger world champion t-shirt in honour of that young Australian boy who won the world title last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Rye house That's how speedway teams operate these days. It's no longer CLUB teams as it was until r/r and guest riders were thought of.

Cliffeboy Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Good match with a comfortable result for Somerset. Rye won on the day by two points,but Somerset but for three costly falls ( 2 for Nick and 1 for Alex ) would probably have took the spoils.Some good banter between opposing supporters gave a great atmosphere made even better by Tai`s performance last night,well done Len for asking the crowd to give him a standing ovation.Doyle pulled out of heat 15 with tomorrow in mind,which probably cost the Rebels a draw. Good to see Ian. Dave, Bernard and Mark and all the travelling Rebel army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillpool Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Comment of the day came from announcer Craig Saul..."the birthday boy is enjoying his special day". This was in response to another Jason Doyle heat win. What Craig didn't know is that the birthday boy was extremely disappointed as he was very much looking forward to some fish, chips and mushy peas. To further compound his misery, he didn't think his lucky dip bag was worth a fiver. All this on his birthday too, poor Jason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Enjoyed that, another good afternoons entertainment, well run and Doyle came through without a problem. In the last couple of days Ive seen two well run and presented meeting at the lower level. Tomorrow I go to Poole and watch a meeting run by skytv. Its a long way from Brum and a long journey home to have to get up in the morning and go to work, they sould take a look at the PL and NL in how to run a meeting and follow suit. Well done to Somerset on winning the KOC. Come on you Brummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Afternoon started off badly. The chippy ran out of fish over half an hour before the start time. Some good racing, Doyle superb as usual. A horrific crash in the second half MDL final with two Belle Vue riders ploughing through the 4th bend fence at speed and getting up to walk away relatively unscathed. Who needs an air fence when we have the safest fence in British speedway? Some interesting comments during the presentation. Much of what the riders said was more or less unintelligible due to the crappy PA system in the bar. Only Len Silver was clealy understood as everyone decided to hush up, except for Jason Bunyan, who barracked him about the track! The announcement that the first meeting of 2014 will take place as late as 20th April, Easter Sunday, was surprising. Looks like the League Cup may be binned No clues as to the make up of next years side, but I did get a "see you next year" from Anders Mellgren as we left the stadium. Jason Garrity said he hoped to be for for next year, so he's gotta be a cert. It was also announced that attendances are slightly up on last year, so that's heartening.

Bagpuss Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 That's nothing Shadders, the fish ran out an hour and twenty minutes before the start of the NLRC. Shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
