Rye House 2015


Recommended Posts

Hope we do stay PL, I dont think being in a league that only has 8 or 9 teams in it, where you play each team twice at home and away and where you only have to finish in the top half of the league to be in the playoffs is competition, whats the point of that but unfortunately that is what the Elite has. What we need is more local derby's to help attract more supporters but unfortunately with so many tracks closing that will probably never happen. Anyway Mr Scott if you are reading stay in the PL there's more competition and perhaps try reducing entrance prices, 2 people at £16 each = £32, 3 people at £14 each = £42, no brainer really but only if it brings in more people. Sorry I've if iv'e gone off the thread a bit but that's my rant for the day.

Something I've been banging on about for years is a family ticket. Something like £35 for 2 adults and two offspring (up to the age of 16).

The presentation needs to be moved up a gear. Get rid of that awful entrance music. It may have been ok in the 70's, but now it's just plain embarrassing.

From an outsider looking in, I can't imagine that Rye House will be bowing down to Lambert's apparent pay demands at Peterborough, If anything (and no disrespect to the rockets) I'd imagine he would earn more per point at Peterborough. Makes me think that it was something a little more than that as to why he left P'boro.

At last someone with a brain,

It has all been speculation/rumors over money, Nothing has been confirmed from either the promotion or lambert, so like myself think that it has got sweet fa to do with money

Good luck Robert at Rye,

Fingers crossed the meeting goes ahead at ippo tonight

Instead of 'Those Magnificient Men' how about this for an entrance. Do away with the truck, have the riders do 2 laps on their bikes (not too fast) with a couple of wheelies included whilst playing the following record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKnoffPV8m0 (Jasper Carrot) then stop at the tapes for the usual toss of the coin, it would certainly put a smile on peoples faces, maybe not for the whole season though. (lol) I also think put Craig Saul, in his warm coat, out on the centre green and also do the 50/50 draw from the centre as well, similar to Ipswich presentation. Would definitely be a bit more interesting than at present.

In other words, everyone's opinion that doesn't match yours is brainless.

The riders have been out on parade on bikes since the pick up truck broke down a couple of weeks ago.

RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE:::

:::::::

 


Bank Holiday Bonanza at Rye House!

Both the Restart Rockets and Restart Raiders will be seeing home action in a busy Bank Holiday weekend for the club.

 

 

The Raiders will be following up tonight’s trip to East Anglian rivals King’s Lynn with a return to their own patch tomorrow evening to face back-to-back champions Cradley in the City Gearboxes National League, with the Hertfordshire action set to kick in at 7pm sharp.

 

 

Matt Williamson – who blasted a six ride maximum against the Young Stars last night – will guest for the Premier League-committed Rob Branford at Lynn, although the 2013 British U-21 Champion returns to lead his side against the Heathens.

 

 

Luke Chessell will unfortunately miss both fixtures due to extra off-track work commitments, but Rider-Replacement will operate as cover as the Raiders look to renew their push for a top four finish on the back of Sunday’s victory at Buxton.

 

 

Rye House team vs Cradley:

 

 

Alfie Bowtell, Rob Branford, Luke Chessell R/R, Kyle Hughes, George Hunter, Luke Priest, Sam Woods

 

 

Cradley team:

 

 

Danny Ayres (guest), Max Clegg, Nathan Greaves R/R, Luke Harris, Arron Mogridge, Michael Neale, Ellis Perks

 

 

Bank Holiday Monday afternoon, meanwhile, will see the much anticipated official team debut of new arrival Robert Lambert as the Restart Rockets collide with Plymouth in the Premier League.

 

 

The Devils have put themselves in with a fighting chance of making the top six Play-Offs with away victories to date at fellow front-runners Peterborough and Somerset, but the Rockets are determined to prevent them completing a hat-trick of successes when they come to Hoddesdon.

 

 

Rye House team manager John Sampford appreciates that “Plymouth have really turned their season around in the last few months, and although they may not have an out-and-out No.1, what they do have is a very solid and compact unit. There are less than two points separating the averages of their No.1 and their No.7, and they’ll be looking for new signing Linus Eklof to provide an extra sting in their tail.

 

 

“There’s no doubt, though, that we will be hugely buoyed by the arrival of Robert (Lambert), both on and off the track. He gives us what is now a really strong heat leader trio alongside Edward (Kennett) and Nikolaj (Busk Jakobsen).

 

 

“We also know what Kasper (Lykke) and Luke (Bowen) are capable of as back-up, while Daniel (Greenwood) will be determined to show his potential again, and Danny (Maassen) will undoubtedly benefit from his close association with Robert, because they ride together for the same club in Germany.

 

 

“But it is not just about individuals. We are looking forward to getting out there as a complete team. We’ve had to wait since match No.3 way back on March 28th to be able to parade our full preferred one-to-seven, and this will be match No.34! As I’ve said before, we just want the chance to show what we are all about – and to build on the team spirit that has hung on in there despite all of the obstacles that this season has thrown our way.”

 

 

Monday’s action explodes at 2pm.

 

 

Rye House team:

 

 

Luke Bowen, Daniel Greenwood, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Edward Kennett, Robert Lambert, Kasper Lykke, Danny Maassen

 

 

Plymouth team:

 

 

Linus Eklof, Ryan Fisher, Jack Holder, Todd Kurtz, Kyle Newman, Morten Risager, Sam Simota

Hmm Bowen in the top 5, get the point about the long tail, lot of pressure on the Jakobsen Lykke partnership. Guessing Lambert will be at 5.

Certainly gives the impression of being a four-man team at home and a three-man team away.
