Alan_Jones Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I take it Mr Silver doesn't do a lot of research when looking for a guest, Campton guested a week or two ago for Sheffield, his score wasn't exactly great. 4. Mason Campton (guest) 0,0,R,2,N = 2 Cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penchev Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Monday on TV was the smallest crowd we have had but have got 3 home meetings in 8 days so understandable. Been having some very strong crowds. But was the same last year when we were bottom of league. Do you not have season ticket holders?

Mason Campton (guest) 0,0,R,2,N = 2 Only got to C in the alphabet, and found Cheap and Campton at the same time, lovely jubbly, as del boy puts it. Untrue Rye House didn't arrange this meeting this would have been the only available date for BERWICK ( Both Saturday tracks) to offer as they have to meet the cut off dates for the playoffs. A nothing meeting for Rye as we are bottom but i feel for the Berwick public who will have endure an ever weaker Rye team. Only in Speedway would this farce happen. what incentive is there for a PL team to invest time and money in a rider and his development only to be denied his services. Fast track ...a cheap option to fill a team with lower quality riders while still charging Elite prices. Can see by the size of the crowd at Coventry that the fans are voting with their feet, looked about to be on par with Kent which says it all really except that they are only paying twelve quid to watch it Rye tried to re arrange it, without asking Berwick first, then told Newcastle the Home meeting was off, only for Berwick to say, no chance pal, hence no Meeting at Rye either that night.

Brian Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 ROCKETS: Kennett, Hawkins (G), Boxall, Campton (G), RR, Greenwood, Bunyan Should be good for 30 points including 2 tacticals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds On Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Spot on Ben. Garrity has been a huge disappointment for Rye House this year. He may be doing the business for Coventy, but he's been very inconsistent for his parent team. Should've been knocking on an 8 point average by now. He would've progressed further if he'd put in 100% effort for the Rockets this year. well I wonder why that is?!...if you listen/read to regular Rye fans on here they paint the same picture for a number of current and previous Rye riders, perhaps just maybe the problem isn't the riders but elsewhere within the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Garrity was reluctant to sign for Rye House at the start of the season and that was before he had even turned a wheel for Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed happy enough to sign for another season at Rye House, then his head was turned when this fast track nonsense was dreamt up by hard up Elite League promoters. Phoning the club on the morning of press & practice saying you ain't coming was the start of the rot. It only takes one or two bad apples around the pits to set the wheels in motion. This has been a shocking year for Rye House speedway. The last thing you need are riders who's minds are not on the job.

Garrity could be playing a dangerous game he may not get another go as a draft rider next season. If he doesn't its difficult to see any EL club signing him especially if he has to go into the main team, leaving PL as his only option, and he hasn't exactly pulled up any trees there has he.

crescent girl Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Berwick release this morning: Blame – or thank – the Gods of Weather. So much Saturday-night rain has descended on Tweedmouth during 2014, Berwick’s high-flying speedway Bandits (sponsored by New Holland Agriculture) have been forced into the unusual step of staging two complete matches on one evening – this Saturday night! 30 races on the bill! “We are on course to qualify for the end-of-term play-offs for the league title,” explained co-promoter Ryan Anderson yesterday. “However, to do so it is necessary to complete all our home matches by mid-September, and all the rained-out meetings now mean there are more outstanding matches than Saturdays to stage them on! “As a result, we are doubling-up – beginning racing at half-past six this week, taking on Rye House Rockets, catch our breath for twenty minutes or so and pitch back into action against Newcastle Diamonds! Getting everything all done and dusted by half-past nine, as usual, we hope. “All for one admission price of course, and we’ll be offering a bumper 36-page programme to what we are hoping will be a bumper attendance!” Adult admission for the 30-race bonanza is £19, OAPs £12 and all accompanied children up to 16 are absolutely free. Hospitality seating in the guest lounge, including admission, programme, buffet and refreshments is £35, but must be pre-booked with Commercial Manager Lani Rae on 07779-227535. MATCH #1: BANDITS v RYE HOUSE ROCKETS: In the first match, Berwick will face a guest-strengthened box of Rockets, as the Hertfordshire side have had an unfortunate glut of riders withdrawing from their squad. Edward Kennett is returning of course, and will be a popular visitor - he turned out for Berwick for a period last season to cover for the injured Ricky Ashworth. He leads a team with former Bandit (and British U-21 Champion) Ritchie Hawkins replacing Luke Bowen, and tenacious Aussie Mason Campton in for Jason Garrity. The Rockets will use the rider-replacement regulation to cover the races of Anders Mellgren, who has withdrawn from UK racing to rest an injured back. Regular Rockets Steve Boxall (himself riding through the pain from an injured ankle, experienced Jason Bunyan (who has appeared in three Grands Prix) and Olly Greenwood complete their side. The Bandits list their regular squad. Bandits: 1. Claus Vissing (captain), 2. David Bellego, 3. Steen Jensen, 4. Matty Wethers – Rider replacement, 5. Kevin Doolan, 6. Alexander Edberg, 7. Matej Kus Rockets: 1. Edward Kennett, 2. Ritchie Hawkins, 3. Steve Boxall, 4. Mason Campton, 5. Anders Mellgren - Rider replacement, 6. Oliver Greenwood, 7. Jason Bunyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Agree Shadders but you must ask the question when certain riders are labelled as not trying etc but whilst riding for other clubs they are labelled just the opposite. I don't think there are any bad apples in the current line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Garrity could be playing a dangerous game he may not get another go as a draft rider next season. If he doesn't its difficult to see any EL club signing him especially if he has to go into the main team, leaving PL as his only option, and he hasn't exactly pulled up any trees there has he. The way the EL is going he'll be a heat leader there next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have him in top five at Coventry esp if on a 3 average as has been suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I think JG is a certainty for a full 1-5 place in the elite league next year. Cheap on a 3 point average and capable of beating riders above his calibre. However.......his attitude stinks, not sure that I have ever seen him talk to a rye house team mate, there have been numerous rants about not being selected for heat 15 and I would argue his machinery is questionable at best. There are definitely bad apples at rye this year and sadly that attitude is rubbing off on others with any luck the Jason's will be gone next year then hopefully Anders will return, Ty Nelson will get a visa add a improving national league youngster and I think the team will both unify and push for honours..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondsRock Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Bit of a clever move here by the Berwick promotion to double up this fixture with the Newcastle match, so that all the Newcastle fans end up paying extra to compensate them for the Rye House fans who would never show up anyway if the match was on a different night... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
