g13webb Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I can imagine it will be hard for apposing teams to go to Rye House and win. They have gone for experience and riders who know how to win. I am in no doubt they will put up a decent showing in the Premier League. Its difficult to say how good they can do, until we see more team announcements.... but on their signings I can see plenty to get excited about.....

IronScorpion Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is there any news & pictures of how the development of the stadium is taking shape? I last visited in the "Tai" days but have tried to visit this last couple of years with the Scorpions, weather curtailing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 A strong looking top 5 👍🏻 4 ex bees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 As a neutral and rye regular, it won't be dull watching the likes of Nicholls and harris on home soil. It's just a shame that lakeside aren't in the top flight as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think what you will get from those 5 is commitment, they are known for being racers on the track who seldom give up, (ok maybe not so much Watty in past seasons but none of us knew what was going on behind the scenes!) I doubt there will be many meetings where Rye will need to use guests riders etc, this is a workman like team and I doubt they will get troubled at home but still offer a reasonable amount of fire power on their travels, something my team could never do.

Game On Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Agreed, it looks a very decent side. My only concern is that if they get too good, too quickly, certain members of the establishment might see them as a threat, and we know what happens then. Yes game over.

SpecialOne Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Smart team from Rye House really If having to have 2 british riders in sides. Taking some of the top British riders will only make other teams weaker in those areas and also won't be asking for the top wages of riders overseas.

Taking some of the top British riders will only make other teams weaker in those areas and also won't be asking for the top wages of riders overseas. Very true. In fact the remaining unsigned British riders could ask a little more as they are required by all teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 RYE HOUSE ? 1 Eddie Kennett 9.27 2 Scott Nicholls 9.23 3 Chris Harris 9.21 4 Davey Watt 7.56 5 Stuart Robson 7.09 6 Ben Morley 3.85 7 Tom Perry 3.76 Total 49.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think as a club dipping their toe into the top league Rye need to win at home more often than not and their signings so far reflect that. A bit like Lynn did in 2011 in signing Allen & Topinka who perhaps weren't the best signings on paper but were strong at Lynn and contributed to only losing at home a couple of times that year.

phillipsr Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 So how would you line them up? Id go 1. Kennett 2. Robson 3. Watt 4. Harris 5. Nicholls Then hopefully 6. Branford 7. JPB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 All averages are rounded up. Wrong, at the 3rd decimal place averages are round-down between 0-4 and round-up 5-9. Harris average is 9.21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Wrong, at the 3rd decimal place averages are round-down between 0-4 and round-up 5-9. Harris average is 9.21 Where's that written down? Pretty much as I had the 1-5, but with Harris & Watt swapped Kennett and Robbo have plenty of experience of riding with each other. Nicholls being able to gate makes him a better option to go out with the reserves which leaves Watt/Harris at 3 and 4, would have Bomber at 4 though, bit stronger in heat 14.

ruckerroo Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Fair play to the new promotion, no lumpy air fares, riders that shouldnt miss meetings, saturday night speedway. If they get the gaff ship shape should get 1500 minimum to support that side of a sat night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
