tocha Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Not got a clue on that one, would expect it is like R/R that is in place from the start of a meeting though, one rider above the injured riders average and everyone else below. One of the reasons strong reserves are still needed, if we have a meeting where Robbo withdraws and Davey's having an off night we'd be up a creek if the reserves are bobbins. These are the rules taken from the 2016 regs. 17.9 An INJURED RIDER REPLACEMENT (IRR) Is a Facility that allows one certified injured rider’s (#1-#5) remaining programmed rides (including a ride in which he was unable to re-start but was not disqualified - FN) to be taken by other Team Members (including any Guest riders), providing the Team is not already using ARR and subject to: 17.9.1 The injured Rider not having completed 3 rides 17.9.2 Only one position per Team may be declared as IRR. 17.9.3 All riders with an MA below the Injured rider may take one IRR ride each. 17.9.4 IRR is not permitted in Heat 15. 17.9.5 A Nomination once made cannot be changed. 17.9.6 A rider taking an IRR ride may be nominated to take a TR ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 And not a patch with the income they get from their derbies with Edinburgh. Indeed. Plus Berwick, Workington, Newcastle & Redcar are significantly closer to Glasgow than Belle Vue. Scunthorpe & Sheffield are a similar distance I would imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocha Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Rye House Press Release: ::::::::: WHO’S NEXT? Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…. …. The sixth BMR Rockets’ signing for 2017 will be announced at 9.30 on Monday morning. Rob Branford I hope then who knows. Zach Waijknecht must be in with a shout. One for the future, Tom Brennan who turns 16 next July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 would love to see James Shanes but suppose that is too much to ask for Had a spell at Coventry when he first started riding Speedway, from the same neck of the woods as Bomber I believe and also a talent on the grasstrack. A lot of connections there, however he isn't very good around Rye House and has stated his dislike of the track in the past. Like Bomber he relies on passing a lot, would probably be wise to get a two pointer in who can pop out of the gate from time to time if we are going down that route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 If a young rider wanted experience then the team assembled has it in bucketfuls so they should be able to attract the best around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Branford and Morley if they fit is my guess, and if not Branford and a 2.00 rider, Bailey or Perks maybe? Or maybe Dan Greenwood if that's not too ridiculous to suggest, Or what about Luke Priest since he was a Raider last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branford , Priest & Dan have all ridden for the Coventry Cougars/Storm in the past so there has got to be chance !! Any truth in Peter York joining Rye ?

Any truth in Peter York joining Rye ? I suspect if you started a petition you wouldn't be short of signatories round Brandon way. Very impressive team building from Rye thus far. You always hope that teams moving up can be competitive from the off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest is a career NL rider, he's been around for a long time and had plenty of cracks at the PL without making an impression, would be a poor signing in the top division. fully agree BUT James is such a prospect that I am sure he could become very good at Rye He's a good rider but there are a lot of better prospects out there that are the same age/younger.

I have read on here many times that attendances a Brandon have dropped & some of the Bees fans who contribute on here have stopped going but not every team can win the title ! ..

hammer1969 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have been going to Rye House for years and before that West Ham and I do get fed up if my team keep losing but I still go back as I support them through the good times and the bad and as long as the riders try and it's a good meeting I go home happy. I'm hoping this year we will win something but like a previous post said not everyone can win the most important thing at the moment is that Speedway survives it's a good sport and suitable for all the family where both home and away fans can stand together at a meeting and share a bit of banter without it leading to a punch up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
