Vincent Vega Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Watt is a terrible signing. He was useless for Poole who got shot of him to Leicester where he was even worse. Rye will get rid by the time Wimbledon starts at the end of June you mark my words. Told you lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) How was the crowd compared to last week, did they all come back?I though it looked down on last week, but still pretty good compared to recent years. Didn't see as many away fans this time. The decent weather forecast for the weekend, combined with school holidays, probably saw a few taking a couple of days away. On a positive note, good to see the promotion install a food outlet behind the third bend (no idea what was on offer) and an ice cream van situated behind the second bend. Told you lot.Could be something as simple as machinery problems, but he's certainly not started the season well. I suspect he's the kind of guy who will dwell on it, which won't help Edited April 9, 2017 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I was hoping for Thomas Jurgensen and Richard Lawson when team announced but they are now at Saturday tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Watt and Robson need to be axed and replaced now with some fresh riders they are both not good enough and will cost the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If you axe watt and Robson i feel you may need to act early .. Watt and Robson out Ben Barker and Rory Schlein in Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Neither Davey or Robbo look on the pace for this league so far so I'm not sure what the promotion were expecting. I think after this weeks round of matches we should get a better idea of their likely form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If your losing to that Swindon side at home by 8 then your in trouble. Watt is done at this level & I wouldn't have had Robbo back this season. Similar to Leigh Lanham last year, he's not going to be the rider he was ten years ago. Is just looking to stay out of harms way, score a few points and make a living. He's not going to put his body on the line anymore. The Branford situation is a mess. Surely as he rode at Rye last season we should get priority? If he ends up missing half the fixtures you may as well write the season off already. A lot of over the top predictions on this side before a wheel turned. Too many question marks against it. I wouldn't be confident the promotion would change the side and improve it. They didn't do it last year in the PL. Jenson & Schroeck don't seem to have much knowledge of riders. The track was a joke in the second half of last season. No dirt & way too slick. The inside half of the track bare concrete & sounds like similar on Saturday. They need to invest in some new shale. If you provide a bare track for this side you will be in trouble as there isn't a gater in the side. What with improved crowds, the last thing you want is results like Saturday. Kings Lynn could be very messy if they are in form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Lynn could be very messy if they are in form. There is a reason why Watt got dropped from two teams and Robson is just average now. I think a worry is that Harris is declining at a rapid rate. This is team where 5 of the riders are at there peak and can only go backwards. Kennett can maintain, but the rest will drop off quite quickly. With Watt and Robson you have 14.65 points to play with. I would go and get Lewis Kerr after he is done with Poole= 5.98 He would be a great signing and will give it his all and knows lakeside so Rye will be easier. Then i would get garrity with the remaining points. Kerr and Garrity will be better than Watt and Robson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 We need something to happen and fast we can't be prepared to sit back and watch this OAP side need some swap outs, also the track get someone in that can prepare the sodding thing properly.

Pipeslice Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not sure about Watt but give Robbo some more time. It's only been two meetings for him and others have had a lot more time on the track. Riding at number two is always a unrewarding position to be in (in my opinion). He was one of the positives of last year and I did think he rode his hardest and not playing it safe. Plus I don't think this league is that much harder than last year's premier. After the averages have changed might be a good move having him at 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) NBJ is available. Robbo is a legend at Rye. Can't see them outing him. It's run more like a family than a sports team Edited April 10, 2017 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 The track needs sorting big time shads, sometimes I think the promoters overlook how important it is to have a decent surface for the team to race on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I mentioned it in my post meeting rant. Track has always been slick, but now we have a team of racers. Give them something to race on.

G the Bee Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 With Bomber, my own opinion is that if the track has a bit of dirt on, he'll be as good as anyone around Rye. But if it's going to be slick, then it could be a season of struggle. Even at Coventry, he could struggle if it was slick. And there were few better riders around Brandon than Bomber. I hope I'm wrong, because as a home fan, there are few better sights than watching Bomber pick opposition riders off week in, week out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmeRay Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 NBJ would make us stronger straight away & is a rider who still has improvement in him. Bargain of an average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: By CRAIG SAUL ::::: BRANNY BOOST The BMR Rockets have been boosted by an SCB verdict that they will have priority for the services of Rob Branford when fixture clashes arise with his SGB Championship club Sheffield. The decision means that Branford will ride for Rye in Thursday’s Knock-Out Cup return clash at Swindon as the Rockets aim to shock the Robins by pulling back an 8 point first leg deficit. Said Team Manager Peter Schroeck, “We know the size of the challenge at Swindon on Thursday, but this gives us a fighting chance. “Our other doubling-up rider, Ellis Perks, will be with us too, which means that we will have our full one-to-seven. We want to stay in this competition, and we are capable of pulling it back. Most of the boys are very familiar with the Blunsdon circuit, so we will get stuck in and give it our best shot.” Edited April 23, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) RYE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: By CRAIG SAUL :: PERKS REACHES U-21 FINAL BMR Rocket Ellis Perks safely navigated his British U-21 Semi-Final round at Peterborough last night to qualify for the national final at Poole on Wednesday, April 26th. The 2016 U-19 Silver winner could well have won the meeting, but a combination of a bike stoppage and a fall cost him 5 points in his first two rides and left him with a main focus of ensuring he made the cut. That he did with tread to spare by rattling off three straight victories from his remaining rides to ease through to the Big Night. Result: James Shanes 12, Zach Wajtknecht 12, Connor Mountain 12, Danny Phillips 11, Jack Smith 10, Ellis Perks 9, Nathan Greaves 9, Danyon Hume 9, Nathan Stoneman 8, Luke Harris 7 (all qualify), Josh Bailey 6, Danno Verge 5, Alfie Bowell 3, Kelsey Dugard 2, Jack Thomas 2, Jamie Halder 2, Kyle Bickley (res) 1 Seeded to the Final: Josh Bates, Robert Lambert, Adam Ellis, Liam Carr, Max Clegg and Daniel Bewley.

KevtheRev Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) How about NBJ and Lewis BrIdger as replacements? Bridger's average should come down a bit I would expect after the start at Berwick. He could be key in the Prem.
