Dave Stummings Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Poor old Babs. Yes as always she was on top form again last night completely watching different races to everyone else in the stadium. I'm amazed she hasn't been charged by the sport’s governing bodies for bringing the sport into disrepute. She is an utter disgrace. Perhaps Babs could referee the British GP in a couple of weeks at Cardiff! The whole world not just Great Britain could see probably the worst speedway referee of all time! Rumour has it Bab's is going to be competing in the national welly throwing contest next month and she's 2-1bar to win that. Apparently she wanted to call the meeting off as it was wet and she didn't want the rain to spoil her hair, bit late for that Bab’s. Both sets of teams were prepared to give it a go and she reluctantly agreed. On a more serious note the Rye management still have a thing or two to learn though about running speedway. Having a full parade could have been a costly mistake if the rains had come five minutes earlier and heat 10 wouldn't have been able to be completed. That heavy shower was forecast for 8pm or there about and thankfully arrived 30 odd minutes later. There just seemed no urgency by the Steve Jetson feller. He seems to run the show in the absence of Warren Scott who I haven't seen at Rye this season. Also the track lights could have been put on for the last couple of races in my opinion. Or is the cynical side of me thinking they had hoped it would be called off early saving a few quid on electric and points’ money! I'll probably be banned now from the stadium for criticism against the management, which I believe to be justified. I've already stated on another thread that I'm not one of the people who have seen the big wow factor at Rye House this season. I have noticed a few other people have begun not to show the positive vibes against the Raiders lower end. It'll be interesting to see how much support the Raiders get at home as there are no Rockets matches now at Rye for a month. Back to last night, thought all the guys rode in difficult conditions and hats off to them for that. Surely it's only a matter of time now before Karger is dropped. You've got Rob Branford who would pick up more points than Karger sitting in the wings. I'm amazed Rob hasn't already signed for another PL team this season unless he can't double up and only ride as a guest? Anyone give a definitive answer on that? So if the heavy boys come knocking on my door and bar me from Rye hopefully I won't end up in the village. My name is John Drake (aka Dave Stummings) I'm not a number I'm a free man!

Halifaxtiger Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Couple of shockers from Babs. Holder clearly looked and saw Robbo coming round him before moving over and forcing him into the fence in heat 7. How Nielsen wasn't excluded in heat 8 is beyond me. Not arguing with Kargers exclusion, they BOTH should've been out. Oh, and Palm-Toft got a massive jump in heat 3, she missed that as well. I though Karger took Nielsen out but admittedly didn't have a good view. You're right about Robson (here I had a very good view) as Holder definitely hit him. Considering the earlier down pour, the racing wasn't bad at all and with the stadium improvements I can see why some at least are feeling pretty positive about Rye House. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) . I'm amazed Rob hasn't already signed for another PL team this season unless he can't double up and only ride as a guest? Anyone give a definitive answer on that? No nothing to stop Robert from doing PL, although he obviously cant ride as a NL number 7. Thats this week anyway, Chopper Edited June 26, 2016 by chopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hopefully Rob may get a chance soon ,,the fans want it ,,but will the management want to use the full quota of points that would be available to them ,,I am sure an opportunity will come shortly somewhere....

I make it 4.24 points to use should Karger be released. Anyone confirm or correct this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Jones Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I make it 4.24 points to use should Karger be released. Anyone confirm or correct this? It's Karger's 5 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 It's Karger's 5 points. So it's a straight swop points wise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think most fans would be happy to see Rob Branford replace Karger.. But if he goes we would have around 5 points to play with ,,and Robs on 3.40 ..they may go for someone with a higher average. The loyalty move would be to stick with Karger or go with Branford,,at the moment we are all second guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyrocket Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Who's available on a 5? Personally I think Rob would be the best bet, he's a real trier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmeRay Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Imo we need to strengthen the reserve berth so that we have a rider capable of scoring/taking 7 rides (like Kasper showed). Apart from Eddie & Ben the others have been inconsistent so we need to try to counteract that inconsistency. I don't think Rob can do that at PL level.

Edward apart, the rest of the side are inconsistent, especially away from home. I can't think of anyone available who fits the description you gave.

Don't think we are going to do much this year anyway. Rob has to be given the chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
