Shadders Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Depends if it's Silver at his peak or after his comeback. Gutted we didn't get a second season of watching Andrew when he made his comeback. Honourable mention should go to Stefan Ekberg, his signing in 2007 was the one that ensured we won the title that year IMO. Silver from the early to mid 80's. I caught the end of his last year at Rye House before he went to Arena Essex. Great talent. Could also make a case for Bob Garrad, Kelvin Mullarkey, Marvin Cox and Karl Fiala for inclusion in the best ever Rockets side Edited October 21, 2014 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Andrew Silver at his best v Chris Neath at his best? Ive never seen Silver at his best although im told he was amazing. I remember Martin Goodwin being excellent and i always liked Trevor O Brien aswell Edited October 22, 2014 by phillipsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 1. Hans Nielsen 2. Marvyn Cox 3. Simon Wigg 4. Ron How 5. Leigh Adams 6. Arne Pander (rode at that position quite a lot between '65 and '68... before it became a reserve position). 7. Martin Dugard Couldn't fit in Jason Crump, Greg Hancock, Nicki Pedersen, Billy Hamill or Tony Rickardsson. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 tom owen,,,, lewis kerr,,,,, david bargh,,,,, garry stead,,,,, joe owen,,,,Kenny carter,,,,david blackburn Nice team but I would switch Kerr, Blackburn and Tom Owen for Nicki P, Rod Hunter and Kenni L. Sadly no place in my team for Robbie Foy!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Kevin Smith and Ashley Pullen went on to have good careers too I believe.No room for Jens Rasmussen, who basically carried the team single handed before Martin Goodwin arrived from Arena Essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Sigalos Hampel or Nicholls Louis Sanders Rickardsson Doncaster Louis Not sure Chris ever rode at 7 for Ipswich only Hackney 1 Stuart Robson 2 Kennett 3 Woffinden 4 D King 5 Sundstrom 6. A Silver 7 Roynon No Garrard, No Rasmussen No Steve Bryenton!! Anyone remember Kerry Gray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC! Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 1 Stuart Robson 2 Kennett 3 Woffinden 4 D King 5 Sundstrom 6. A Silver 7 Roynon My goodness it just doesn't look like a Rye team without Luke Bowen at 6! Seriously, take out Robson for Ted Hubbard and King for Marvyn Cox and this is about right.

I never saw Hubbard or Cox so couldn't comment on them but I'd have Robson in over King, Sundstrom, Kennett and Roynon certainly if we're going on what they did while in a Rye race jacket.

Totally respect your opinion, but for me, Hubbard was Mr Rye House when he was number 1 in the late 70's, and would be a must. Cox was, to put it quite simply, considerably better than King (particularly looking at '83), and, in fact, in that '83 season was probably among the very best Rockets ever. Can't ever remember Robson at 7, but I totally agree you could easily make an argument for him over King, Sundstrom or Kennett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only started going to Rye in 2004 so can only really pick riders i've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJ Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Belle Vue since I started actively following the sport in the early 80s. 1. Jason Crump (if the opposition includes capable opponents who'll create a worthwhile race) 2. Kelly Moran 3. Chris Morton 4. Shawn Moran 5. Peter Collins 6. Jason Lyons 7. Joe Screen Narrowly squeezed out were Andy Smith, Carl Blackbird (1986), Kaj Laukkanen (the all action 1999 version of him) and Neil Collins. All riders who've been worth the entry money on their own at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
