Shadders Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 One thing for sure though,when he doesn't gate he isn't interested. There are a few of those around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Agree. You had one in Alex "three laps" Edberg. Very frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmeRay Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Really not sure about this team. Â A few gaters and a couple who struggle to make a gate. Going to be hard getting a track prepared to please them all. Any news on who will be preparing the track? Â Robbo was great for us before but I can't remember (might just be my age) him looking too great on our track in recent times. Leigh has had some great meetings at Rye but also some really average ones. Â We've got strength at number 6 which is great for the reserves race but will it make up for what could be a lack of top end support for Ed? Â I've also got some concerns about the fitness of the team. Robbo, Kasper & Heeps have all had injury problems in the recent past. Â The loss of both NBJ & Lambert is a worry. Whilst I can understand the Lambert one, to allow our own asset, who many people in speedway believe has the ability to be a top rider, join our rivals on a bargain average could be the new owners Doyle/Boxall moment. Hopefully they'll explain the reasons better than Len did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Decent team that. Will take the odd pasting here and there away from home but pretty good on the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Quite a few ifs and buts concerning the teams merits.You have to think that maybe the original plan was Lambert and Branford ,but went out the window at the negotiation stage with Lambert,,,unfortunatly for him possibly ruling Branford out,, and then going for strenght in depth just my theory could be way wrong ,.Having looked at signings else where, it does not look a bad side.but no one will know for sure till next spring...

Shadders Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Edberg was a joke IMO ,he pi##ed off a number of Berwick fans IMO He was a guest for us at Ipswich last year. In the four races he started he didn't complete one. I doubt he did half a dozen laps in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayleigh Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Â I heard that Robbo was ignored on his recent visits to Rye (disgraceful if that was the case) and re-signs as soon as Len leaves (maybe coincident) Â Welcome home Robbo, I know we have a fairly weak team but I will at least enjoy Robbo and Kasper at home although Shadders away days will be barron to say the least.

Rayleigh Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Congratulations on December clearly lots of people recruit at this time of year., Â This team is going to struggle big time away.But after the straight jacket that the first 5 riders announced put us in, Robbo and Heaps was pretty good. With the big advantage of Kasper/Lanham at reserve which will help the lack of heat leaders 2 & 3 to help Kennett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not a trophy winning side, but the key will be winning at home to get people through the gate. Without them there will be no future for speedway at Rye House.

Â Couldn't agree more, if they stay fit i doubt many sides will will win at Rye and lets face it most of our fans want to watch a winning team at home. We may pick up the odd away win but i doubt it will make much of an impact on the table but an improvement on recents years i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Klindt will be ok if he hits turn one first otherwise he's pantsKlindt will average 9 off gate 4 and 3 off gate 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iangnz Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Again, just observations from far away NZ which is largely speedway-less these days... Side looks reasonable, if I get over to the UK for work next year, I'd pay to go and see them. BUT....it still does seem a 'balls up' was made letting NBJ go before Lambert had signed. Robbo is NBJ's replacement on a similar average, but will he increase his average by more than NBJ next year. Hopefully, but I doubt it. Question for those who've studied the averages, which I haven't: would Heaps average still have fitted if we'd kept NBJ..?? Or is the Heaps signing a fortuitous spin off of NBj's premature departure..?? I need convincing that was the plan all along, but it still has the hallmarks of a stuff up to me....in which case I hope the new promotion have learned something. All the best for 2016 :-) Edited November 22, 2015 by iangnz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iangnz Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks iand. Â Even if this line up has just 'happened' as a result of letting NBJ go then losing Lambert, it may work out well. If Kennett and Lanham can maintain their averages, and the rest put at least a point on their starting figures (as they all have potential to do) then we'll be in the play offs.

Pinny Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Gonna need Robbo and lanham to roll back the years for this team to be any good. Â Klindt has an 8 point average in him tho if his heads right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Klindt has an 8 point average in him tho if his heads right. I think every promoter who has had Klindt in the last few years keep thinking he is a 8 point rider but sadly he is a 5.89 average and people need to realise this, why is he going to improve at Rye House?
