Oafski Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Think the changes at Rye thus far so I hear are just the tip of the iceberg. Lets hope we don't hit the bugger and sink then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE::: ::::::::: Changing Times at Rye House 2015 looks set to be a season of change at Rye House in more ways than one. Len Silver has already assembled a revamped Rockets team that he is determined will be more successful than last seasons Premier League cellar dwellers. The clubs second side, the Raiders, is also set to be re-born at a National League level, with Silvers son, former England international Andrew Silver, taking his first step into management as the man at the helm of that squad. Now, news has followed that Silvers long-serving co-promoter, Hazal Naylor, has decided not to continue in that role, citing the growing demands of her parallel role within the expanding Silver Ski Holidays business. She herself says, I have enjoyed my many years of involvement with Speedway, supporting Len behind the scenes and ensuring that the club never got into difficulties. But my ever increasing work load for Silver Ski, as that company continues to expand, has made it impossible to continue. It was a hard decision to take, and I will really miss my involvement with our team. Silver has been quick to pay tribute to Naylor for her reputation as one of the sports most astute administrators; one renowned for ensuring all riders have been paid on time and keeping Rye House debt-free, sometimes during difficult times. He has gone on to admit that This decision has realistically been coming for the last two years, so it is not really a surprise to me. but it does not alter the fact that I will miss Hazal's support immensely. Fortunately we work closely together in Silver Ski, so she will always be there to help if needed. It goes without saying how grateful I am to her for the many years of hard work she has put into Speedway." Looks like Andrew won then - future looking good for the Rockets Thanks goes to Hazel tho, she has put in a lot of hard work over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just seen this on FB: What do you think about Warren Scott buying the 15year lease of Rye House. Will we get called "The Farmers" now. V Surprised, but suppose it's good to know he's a Motorsport guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Found this http://www.teambmr.com/news/Team-BMR-Challenge-2014 Maybe it's about the go kart track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Who is this guy? And does anyone know what he does.The little information I have is that he is the owner of an energy drink company in the Midlands with connections to Motorsport. I think he's an ex racing driver. Recently sold his farm for a very substantial sum. I've heard he has plans to upgrade the stadium for use other than speedway. I think the plan is for him to be involved in the stadium side of it, but not the speedway side. Hopefully this'll mean improved catering facilities Found this http://www.teambmr.com/news/Team-BMR-Challenge-2014 Maybe it's about the go kart track? The clue is in the photo Edited January 3, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolly Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just saw the result from the 1st round of Aussie Champs. Tyson not bad result after a year out not racing regularly. Got 8 points, beat Sedgeman, C Holder, J Ringwood and others I do not recognise. Admittedly not a world beater but good start to work from. Now we just got to wait to see if he gets his visa !!!!

Alan_Jones Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Re. Warren Scott, his farm management company address has changed from one farm to another in the same area. He owns Team BMR (Buntingford Motor Racing) and where the above profile says he combined resources with Team HARD he bought that team as well. Adding to the one man band approach, he is the sole director of the British distributor for the Austrian produced Restart drinks brand who are one of BMR's title sponsors. The company website design is credited to BMR Graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Tyson Nelson came 4th in the second round of the Aussie championships, beating Grajczonek, Fricke & Masters in the B final. Promising. Still no sign of a visa though Edited January 5, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 The visa situation is indeed worrying. With all the changes that seem to be about to happen it's gone very quite on the press release front. Kinda think this will be Lens swansong in 2015. I wonder if anyone promoter has had some kind of meeting in there honour while they've been alive? If anyone deserves one such meeting it has to be Len Silver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of OZ riders who were amazed that he got into the country in the first place. I remember reading last year that his was the only visa refusal that wasn't speedway related. I'd be quite happy for the same again this year. Apart from the iffy character, he's too similar in style & inconsistency to Jason Garrity.

Tyson was great entertainment 2013, we missed him big time last season. Personally I hope he's back this year, and if he applies himself, will definitely improve his average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
