Rye V Newcastle 2nd August.


Recommended Posts

Looking at the BSPA website there's no mention of this match. Have I missed something here? Surely the old boy hasn't called it off already due to the weather forecast? Surely not that team GB are in the WTC final????????

If it is because of team GB in the final I see it's being held locally in Bydgoszcz in Poland over 900 miles away!

Is it any wonder speedway is losing fans??!!! 2 rooms booked at Peterborough for the Diamonds match at Rye and then the 4's and now it seems to be called off? JOKE! Thanks Len.

 

If its off there will be 2 family rooms going at Peterborough Alwalton which were purchased at £44 per room per night but would be open to offers

Feel for you Gaz. It's very short notice. Can't understand why they're in such a hurry to re stage

Rye House Rockets @RyeHouseFans 13m

The meeting between the Rockets & Newcastle, scheduled for next Saturday, has been POSTPONED, due to a clash with the World Cup Final

 

Once again, speedway shoots itself in the foot...

But Rye House are happy enough to take a meeting at Berwick on the same day, would Newcastle have had to agree to the postponement of next Saturdays meeting, I mean the fixture was in the diary and has been for some time. I`ve no doubt the fact that Team GB have reached the Final will trotted out as the main reason.

Are they at Berwick though? It surely up to the Bandits and Glasgow to agree and there has been nothing

19.7 rye v panthers - off weather and weakened rockets team

27.7 rye v kent - off too many meetings at the launch pad!!!

2.8 rye v diamonds - off speedway world Cup

 

How many more meetings are going to be called off at rye for no apparent reason, surely the Newcastle match could have been raced on Saturday afternoon like it was a few years ago. Which I seem to remember pulled in a decent crowd.

Rye House told Newcastle not to come next week before asking Berwick if they were available. Well, they're not, so we have no meeting at all next Saturday. You couldn't make it up!!

All these people complaining about this there is 1 Newcastle supporter who was calling for matches to be called off when the FOOTBALL world cup was on. make your mind up mr park .

 

No I didn't. What I said was, they (should have) knew the World Cup was on and had plenty of time to re-arrange the speedway fixture but left it late to do so. There is a difference.

 

Rye House also knew the SWC Final was this weekend and either should have said (a lot earlier), either "we won't run on that Saturday," or, "We definitely run that Saturday (weather permitting)."

I'd have said a Poland/Aussie/Denmark/GB final before the start, so you're probably right

Should have made it an afternoon meeting with the addition of a S.W.C party in the bar after the meeting .Looks like he missed a trick here . Or did Newcastle not want to come as the would be without Kingy ?

 

I've just read last night Raceday Magazine and in George's column he was saying that "at this stage it is impossible to say whether we will have Danny back for that match so another guest will have to be on standby for that meeting." So it sounds as if the postponement was Uncle Len's doing.
