HAMMER180 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Another good signing great bloke one of the very few that has got me a beer back !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Good to see Robbo back, he had a renaissance last year. I don't expect him to maintain a seven point average but he'll do a good job at second string. Looks like that does rule out Schlein/Jorgensen then, unless Eddie isn't coming back which I can't imagine being the case. Looking across to the Swindon team so far (our first round opponents in the cup) and I'm much happier with what we've got so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeslice Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Had to be. Great signing. Went to Peterborough for the fours and we look like we didn't want to be there for what ever the reasons were (we all know) but Robbo came out and gave it his all. Well done Rye promoters. Looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Apparently they'll now be called Rye Home & sponsored by SAGA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim3751 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 What a refreshing change! A newcomer to the scene uses a very basic tactic to focus interest in their team. Just a daily drip drip drip to whet the appetite. And there's even interest on the Lakeside forum. It'll be interesting to see how rigidly they stick to their Saturday schedule when faced with appeals from weakened teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: :::::::::::: THE FOURTH SIGNING: ROBBO RETURNS! The BMR Rockets can announce that 2016 hero Stuart Robson will be wearing Black, Fire and Chrome again next season as the Hertfordshire side gears up for its first ever season in the top flight. Generally recognised as Speedway’s favourite Mackem, Robbo is automatically guaranteed to feature in Rye House folklore for his two and a bit campaigns in Hertfordshire in the mid-noughties, his role in that memorable 2005 League and Trophy double and his never-admit-defeat heroics. His return to Hoddesdon in 2016 after an eight season absence also left a pretty big mark, however. The sudden end to the Rockets’ season after their Knock-Out Cup Semi-Final elimination ultimately prevented the public announcing of the club’s Rider of the Year award, but it can now be confirmed that Robbo was voted in by the public for the Mr Rocket accolade. As he himself says, “It is brilliant to collect that award, and I want to say a big thank-you to everyone who voted for me. To win it when you are in the company of the likes of Eddie (Kennett) and others means a lot to me. I feel humbled to receive it.” For Robbo, though, the focus has quickly turned to preparing for 2017 in the Premiership. “I am really pleased to be back for next year. Rye House was my first choice of club for 2017 regardless of which League they were in, so I am absolutely delighted to be a part of the set-up again. “2016 was a good year for me but I also feel that I have got a lot more to give next season. To have Scott (Nicholls), Chris (Harris) and Davey (Watt) in the line-up as well is tremendous. It’s a really exciting looking side that is coming together. “We’re already talking three Brits, plus Davey who is resident over here, and that’s got to be a big plus for Team spirit. “They are TEAM men throughout too, and they all think on far more than a personal level. That’s so important to success.” As mentioned above, Robbo is delighted to be back, but the feeling from Rye House Co-Promoter Steve Jenson is clearly mutual. He says: “Robbo would have been in the team regardless of what League we were in for 2017. It was a no brainer, really. “In Scott, Bomber, Davey and Robbo we’ve got four captains in the Team, which isn’t a bad place to be. “And there’s more to come. We’ll be looking to announce Rider No.5 at 9.30 tomorrow morning.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 The Watt signing makes no sense if Robbo was returning all along. It looks a bit dads army now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemill Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 So far all 4 riders named have been done so in the order of their averages. I just don't think Eddie's coming back . Ive just got a feeling the next rider will be NBJ as average is 6.5 , this will keep in with how they've named the others . This will give us a bit of youth and also give us a handy 10.55 for 2 reserve riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Shouldn't there be a limit on the combined age of the riders? Mock older riders at your peril. The eldest of the quartet signed so far is Robbo who turned 40 earlier this month. At a similar age, Greg Hancock had just one World Championship to his name!
