Paul Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Can't see a thread for this. Anyone going? Bit of a makeshift team for Rye with Bowen (using R/R) and Maassen (awaiting guest replacement) injured. With Greenwood given the all clear to ride it's a very top heavy Rockets team. Could be a close call this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather good for the rest of the day, but will be a bit nippy later. I'm about twenty miles down the River Lea from Rye House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 So who is riding for the Rockets in place of Maassen? Not good enough needing guests and not telling the paying public who they will be in advance of the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less than a mile from the track. It's currently overcast, no rain and only 20% chance of it come race time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stummings Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 So who is riding for the Rockets in place of Maassen? Not good enough needing guests and not telling the paying public who they will be in advance of the meeting.  This is the problem when the Rye House promotion decides to put a meeting on the same night as the Raiders are away from home. I’d like to see Kyle Hughes riding instead on Maassen, but of course the Raiders are at Kent! Perhaps he’ll ride on Saturday at Rye?  Whoever the guest is it’ll be a tall order for them.  But let’s look on the bright side. 1. As well as the lovely flowers as you walk in front of the long bar, there’s another temporary stand appeared on the second bend. 2. The raffle will take place at heat 2. 3. No doubt we’ll have the dulcet tones of John Strong while Craig is away. 4. Len will through a lucky £2 coin in the massive crowd [anyone notice yesterday was a lucky one pound coin?] 5. Len will welcome Robert Lambert and say nothing else. 6. Barbara Horley, bless her cotton socks, will be taking over as team manager from John Sampford and still officiate the meeting. After all women can multitask………. 7. They’ll be draft beer in the bars. 8. Andrew Silver & Luke Chessell will be guests of honour.  Well you get the picture…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Grondal picking up form at the right time, he could be a real trump card for the Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 'How does Grondal drop from 7.00 to 4.70 in two months' Â For the guy doing updates, be advised Grondal came in on an assessed 7 pt average... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Damn we needed that!..great team effort but let's not get too carried away with them having 2 national league riders at reserve..that's where it was won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyrocket Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The reserve totals say it all Rye-1 Peterborough-18 Roll on next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I said we'd lose, but not by that much. Season can't end soon enough. I hope lessons have been learned re make up of the team for next year, especially at the lower end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Good team performance and the damage was done in the first few heats, very impressive showing from Grondal who hadn't seen the place before but everyone chipped in with good points and the result never looked in doubt. Â Crowd didn't look very good and Peterborough fans accounted for a third of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 To be fair to the Rye House fans, the team they put out wasn't very appealing. Can understand a few of them giving it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Damage was done when Luke quit out of the blue and was replaced with Greenwood at the start of the season. The kids a trier, but not PL class. You need at least one decent reserve if you're top heavy. No support at all for Kennett, Lambert & Jakobsen. They must be as frustrated as we are. I love watching Kasper ride, but his inability to gate is costing us valuable points, especially when the tracks dry and slick and passing is more difficult Edited September 8, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
