Blackbird Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Rob Watts was almost ever-present for the Raiders in the MDL thi year so I'd imagine will be in their NL side next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Bowen Morley Mason Chessell Harris Watts Sheppard Possible line up, fits under the current points limit, would need rejigging if that changes obviously and not taking the situation regarding Bowen's eligibility into account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhamboy66 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Good news that Andrew Silver is taking over the side. Just what the side needs a damn good ex rider to help them on race nights. Hope this is just the beginning of real hands on involvement in the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 A bit gutted by that, hoped Sampford would of run raiders and Silver could of run kent. But hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mr Sampford is Manager of Rye House Rockets and Kent Kings ? Yet is not going to Manage Raiders ? Mr Silver Senior still at Kings and Rockets/Raiders and his son takes on Raiders ? I am just baffled by the whole sorry mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew runs the training schools so is ideally placed to see and help riders progress. I think having Andrew around for advice will make the Raiders a very good place for youngsters to learn their trade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think what AJ is saying, is surely there is a clash of interests here, can you imagine if one of the teams (Kings or Raiders) is pushing for a title, we could have the scenario where the weaker Team loans the stronger Team shall we say a good reserve to help them out with a Title push. Hmmmm i think Two Teams in the same League with shared interests is taking things one step to far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I don't see what the problem is. Len & John have been involved with the Kings since the start so why not stay and see through their project? For them its a case of same as last year with Andrew Silver picking up the additional work required to run the raiders. Removes the conflict of interest (sort of) so roll on the new season! I think what AJ is saying, is surely there is a clash of interests here, can you imagine if one of the teams (Kings or Raiders) is pushing for a title, we could have the scenario where the weaker Team loans the stronger Team shall we say a good reserve to help them out with a Title push. Hmmmm i think Two Teams in the same League with shared interests is taking things one step to far. In principle I agree with what you are saying however I cant really see that actually coming to fruition. From the sounds of things the Rye Raiders will be a development side where as Kent will be the stronger side? The loaning / guest issue is something that runs throughout the leagues not just between two particular clubs. If there is a reserve in red hot form at any team that isn't in / pushing for the play offs he will pick up bookings simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm i think Two Teams in the same League with shared interests is taking things one step to far. This is EXACTLY my point. When it is Kings V Raiders you will have - Rye House Manager in charge of Kings v Rye House. A co-promoter of Kings v A team that co-promoter has interest in,Managed by his Son ??? As far as I am concerned too many clashes of interest which is easily avoided and would stop any potential skulduggery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
