Brian Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Weather looks the winner again. Expect another early call-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Weather doesn't look good but here's hoping!! Would like to think we are good enough to come away with a win from Rye but our record here is not great, never seem to do well on small/technical tracks but, with Rye being a bit down lately you've got to take these sorts of chances and capitalise on other's misfortune? We desperately need to start catching up on our PL fixtures as we seem to be well behind everyone else and further rain offs are not really an option for us at this time, some good away points are needed this weekend to boost the pot? All things being equal and it's a goer, I will hope for a small win for the Comets and go 43-47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Stummings Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 This’ll be another early call off, with the pub winning the day. Fixture problems are becoming evident once again and especially as this is another Saturday night track, so either expect a double header with Redcar on the 30th July or another Wednesday night at Hoddesdon. Although looking at the BBC forecast for Saturday, the mighty never wrong Stummo may be wrong in his predication. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646807 The decisions to call of some of this year’s fixtures at Rye have been to say the least questionable. Last Saturday was a rather nice day I seem to recall, as have some of the other cancelled matches, where Stummo ends up supping a few beers down my local. People get out of the habit of going and don’t basically come back, which is a shame, but as I’ve stated many times Rye House is dead of any real atmosphere, food, beer, presentation etc. So my prediction for Saturday night is a few pints of Spitfire or similar ale whether Rye is on or off…..happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 And why does grass tracking come before speedway..... Always??Probably because the riders lively hood is more imprtant to him than British Speedway? Silver would have known the dates Tres would be away when he signed him but i suspect he or his sidekick Mr Motivator Sampford didn't realise the rules for a replacement.Riding on the continent as a well respected Grass / Longtrack rider he will be reasonably well paid, far more than at Rye House Only ones to blame in this instance is the club What riles me more is the fact that we have had to use a NL replacement for Stefan Nielsen when he has been riding in the EL. The EL is falling apart about time the BSPA realised that and went back to one big league and a stand alone NL. Much better products No Tresarrieu, grass tracking again. Nathan Grieves steps in. Simon Lambert to score a maximum and an 8-10 point lossWouldn't surprise me one bit to see a few points from Simon Lambert meaning the difference between a win or a lossJust how many points have been scored by Stefan Nielsen or his replacements since Simon left ? Weather doesn't look good but here's hoping!! Would like to think we are good enough to come away with a win from Rye but our record here is not great, never seem to do well on small/technical tracks but, with Rye being a bit down lately you've got to take these sorts of chances and capitalise on other's misfortune?

All things being equal and it's a goer, I will hope for a small win for the Comets and go 43-47. With Tres riding i think a Rye win without who knows, never a happy hunting ground for the Comets. All being equal looks like a rainoff and maybe a trip to Eastbourne v KL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Skid Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Doesn't have to rain in Rye to get the Meeting rained off, could only happen in Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Rockets to win by at least ten, Rockets current consistant scorer is at reserve and with a bit of rain forecast at some stage on Saturday could be a match winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite correct, they're not actually rain offs, they're predicted rain offs, or convenient rain offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
