Rye House 2017


Recommended Posts

I see that C.Harris has just signed a contract with a Nice Polish league 1 side .

 

Press release as flws on main Polish Speedway website:

You need google translation as I have it as standard on this website so I get automatic translation from my favourites when I open it.

 

Bit surprised as thought he was fed up with Poland and fact they were had still not paid him for last season although diff team.

 

So it seems that both him and S.Nichols will be doing some running around as he also signed for a club in same league.

 

If one or either also double up for a Champ side in 2017 (as Chris for one has certainly stated as his wish) then I wonder how that affects a side such as Rye House who intend to try and run a fair amount on their traditional Saturday night.

 

We know from the past that riders doing Poland on a Sunday have tended to miss plenty of Saturday meetings when they have clashed. Ok you can do Stansted/Heathrow - Poland on a Sunday morning but its going to be a bit gut busting if they do try to squeeze in PL/CH and Nice all in one week.

 

Having said that I suppose both are slowly entering maybe the later stages of their careers from a racing perspective and who can blame them for trying to get as many meetings as possible. Also neither are tied to the constraints of the Polish Extraliga rules on max countries you can perform as Nice League 1 does not have such restrictions.

 

Good luck to both as its good that we have another team in PL and geographically they are my closest team if not my first supported team. I still want them to do well as with the loss of Lakeside locally it left a hole.

Surely rye house would have enough room for watt,kennett and jorghensen then branford at reserve with a 2.00 rider.

 

That would definitely be a play off team.

Assuming all want to be there

Chris has now said that his average is probably going to prevent him getting a Championship place, I reckon he'd take one with a non-Sunday club if offered though.

good signings on paper/reputation ... but all with their best years behind them.

The eldest of that quartet is Davey Watt who will be 39 next January. At a similar age, Greg Hancock had just one World Championship to his name so age doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. Also, 30 year-old Ed Kennett may still have the best years ahead of him.

Comparing Hancock to Watt is like comparing Elvis to Shakin Stevens

Not knocking them, All decent riders but

In my opinion their best days are behind them, thats what age does to us all....

I really don't think Garrity and Bates signing for Coventry was necessarily because they wanted to ride for Havvy. Garrity was close ish to leaving last winter and Bates was a draft pick, Havvy had no involvement in team building last winter. If any of the 7 from last season are likely to sign this season it'll be them two I think. They could sign for Berwick if they want to ride for Havvy and still ride for us.

 

Sorry Rye House fans just realised it's the Rye House thread.

Well if Garrity & Bates came to Rye House, the team could look like this!
RYE HOUSE ?
1 Eddie Kennett 9.27
2 Scott Nicholls 9.23
3 Chris Harris 9.21
4 Jason Garrity 8.55
5 Josh Bates 5.02
6 Robert Branford 4.60
7 Ben Morley 3.85
Total 49.73

Very strong team in my opinion. Garrity knows the way round Rye and Bates can only get better. Branford will be fine at reserve but Morley is weak, but all teams will be weak somewhere
