Crazy robin Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Adam attained his average fair & square so should be on that average. The days of special averages need to be a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 This really looks tough on Ellis,but how can you change the rule for one rider..Are there any others effected in the same way ? Only Ellis as far as I can see. He has a PL average from 2014 but that would probably be unrealistically low. Adam attained his average fair & square so should be on that average. The days of special averages need to be a thing of the past. The EL averages since the fast track draft was introduced and the protected reserve heats that came with it have been a farce. So yes, he attained the average fair and square but it was the result of a stupid system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I wonder if Kev Smith Mark Fiala and Kelvin Marlarkey will make comebacks ... Im guessing Mark Fiala is Karl's brother and who is Kelvin Marlarkey?? I remember Kelvin Mullarkey though. I used to go Rye House in the early 80's. Bobby Garrard, Steve Naylor, Andy Hines, Marvyn Cox, Steve Bryenton, Kevin Bowen and then a young 16 year old Andrew Silver coming through. Also with the big hoo-hah with Jens Rasmussen being the first foreign rider allowed in the league. Does anyone remember an Aussie that rode there called Kerry Grey?? My uncle used to take a family to speedway and one of them who was 22 started dating Kerry and he turned up christmas day at my uncles place with her! Anyway i dont go Rye much these days (used to enjoy the Sunday afternoons over there) but i wish them every success in their new adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor... Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I shall be coming to Rye now after what's happened to Lakeside. Never been before so quite looking forward to going. Me too. Far simpler to get to than my previous local of Lakeside even from deep South London where i live. Wont miss the traffic shenanigans every week. Couple of quick trains too, so no problem going on public transport and having a beer or two after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Who's Buzz and when do the final greensheet averages come out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayleigh Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sorry Gavan, I think I read in the Speedway Star Kerry Grey passed away very recently. Bye the way probably one of the fasted gaters Rye have ever had. Regarding the averages, obviously I miss understood the new calculations (don't they make life easy for the fan) as my mensa application form is still in the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 How about something like: Hans Andersen (10.01) Kim Nilsson (9.63) Kennett (9.27) Robson (7.09) K Lykke Nielsen (5.16) Branford (4.60) Morley (3.85) 49.61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye are lucky to have a rail station bang on the doorstep and a pretty decent pub right next to the stadium Edited November 4, 2016 by Shads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest stumbling block could be Andersen. Under the new Polish rules if he rides in the Extraleague he can only compete in his own country and one other - Sweden I expect.

The Doctor... Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Rye are lucky to have a rail station bang on the doorstep and a pretty decent pub right next to the stadium Indeed. Have been slaughtered both in there and the track bar too. Nice little setup all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Indeed. Have been slaughtered both in there and the track bar too. Nice little setup all round. They demolished the lower bar. We used to stop by for a drink or two after the meetings, but there's only the bar at the top of the main stand which I've never been a fan of, so we don't bother.

packerman Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Always liked my visits to Rye. First visit would of been in 1985 many things having changed since then but with the pub and good public transport links most tracks dream of I might have to force myself to visit Rye again in the top tier. Earlier I was joking about Buzz (Krzysztof Buczkowski) and only wish for the best to the Rockets next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the attraction of Kim Nilsson either, especially on that average. Just because we can sign a 'world class' rider, it doesn't mean we should do so. The team should be made up to win the league. I think signing riders on averages they have no chance of achieving could be the undoing of many teams. Eddie's 9.27 doesn't look that attractive to me but I expect him to sign on and if so I think it should be as number one. If we could sign a Schlein, Batchelor or even Watt (although I'm not wanting to have too many Lakeside connections) as back up to Eddie that wouldn't be a bad thing. If there was any chance of brining in Sam Masters I'd also take it. I still think Branford should be in the side, preferably as the seventh averaged rider. NBJ and Robbo should be under consideration as well, though realistically I think there's only room for one of them if the team is to be competitive. Kasper and Lanham were no goes for me in the Premier League, Heeps and Morley would have been in the team in the second division but I don't think either is to a standard to take a place in the top league just yet. Both will probably be highly sought after in the Championship on their current averages though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN 333 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Indeed. Have been slaughtered both in there and the track bar too. Nice little setup all round. Agree, Handy rail station next door to the Stadium, Nice pub too, is it still called the Rye House, by the way are they still doing the fish and chips at the stadium.

E I Addio Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Agree, Handy rail station next door to the Stadium, Nice pub too, is it still called the Rye House, by the way are they still doing the fish and chips at the stadium. It's cardboard and chips these days I am afraid. Used love my fish and chips there before the meetings, but it really seemed to go downhill a couple of years ago so I gave up having them . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I wouldn't touch Andersen with a barge-pole, you don't need that hassle. Kennett, Nilsson & Nicholls I would go for as your top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
