Mattfordfan Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just want to say that you guys have been a terrific addition to the league this year. I have no doubt you will be back stronger in 2018. Be proud of your first season in the top flight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Only have ourselves to blame. Not winning at a depleted Leicester on 12th August was the difference in the end. Should have been a 4 pointer with KK at reserve, but crap choice of guest didn't help. Poole winning at Somerset a week later shows how poor Ryes performance was there. Rye simply haven't been good enough away from home all season with a lack of heat wins the real problem. Harris and Nicholls have to carry the burden for that, Lahti dropped to reserve at just the right time for Poole. A shame as the current home form meant we would have given any of the top 3 a problem over two legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post False dawn Posted September 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Rye have been what the powers-that-be wanted our teams to look like this year. No GP super stars, strength in depth. They built a good side and came within a gnat's wotsit of making the playoffs. Well done Rye House. You can hold your head's up high. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Would have been a massive gatecrash if we had made the play-offs. KK becoming available and signing meant we didn't finish near the bottom. The promotion have shown they're not afraid to make changes in the hunt for success. On to next year. Linus Sundstrom top of the shopping list please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still never mind there is always next year when you can have a another good moan about whoever is riding for us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeslice Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Just like to say thank you to all at Rye. To the ground staff, Stuarts, girls behind the bars (fish included), riders and most importantly Steve and Warren. Thanks for a great season and hope next year will be just as exciting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPHEN 333 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Has the season of racing finished at Rye House for this year, are they going to race the Ace of Herts meeting, or have they arranged a couple of challenge meetings to finish off 2017, would be a shame if their season of racing is over by the first week in September.

iand Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Was it announced who was Mr Rocket for 2017 and how much was collected for the Speedway Benelovent Fund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The shortest season at Rye House since the Rockets moved in in 1974. I do hope that quality compensated for quantity. (Still care about the old place and Rayleigh Rockets will always be my team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza66 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I don't understand why the Ben fund collection was on the last home meeting of the season, with the smallest crowd of the year also !! Would of been better done at the tv meeting surly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still never mind there is always next year when you can have a another good moan about whoever is riding for us. Calm down Sidney, you'll cause yourself a mischief at your age. Your retired & live in a camper van. I'm not retired or live in a camper van so can't travel round the country when I want. The fact is the objective of the season has not been met. Many on here had Rye down as one of the favourites pre season & we were nowhere near the top. I'm not going to start lavishing praise after a 5th place finish & out of the KO cup in round one. I'm incredulous to see that many want the same team back next year. Absurd. They weren't good enough this year & with the veterans in the side a year older then where's the improvement? Would only have Harris & KK back next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacksaw Jim Duggan Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 When you consider how heavily backed they were by some at the start of the season and then throw in the addition of Kasparzak to that – this season has been an abject failure.

Gazza66 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I think the season has been a vast improvement on the dross we have endured over the last few years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royal Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 This season was always going to be a learning curve, but by the end of the season, we had a team that would have scared the hell out of any of the other three in the playoffs, in fact, I would go as far as to say, that by the end, we probably had the best team in the league. Its always a matter of opinion, but I would say that its this reason, that most fans would be happy to have the same team back next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the play offs,as a Wolves fan I was aware that you were a danger if you qualified, for other reasons I'm glad you didn't, the thought of KK been seen as a saviour/ hero would be too much to stomach, you're problem now is you think he will be your trump card next season where as in reality he will just return to type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Too many counter attractions on last night. England and speedway on TV, and a lot of neutral rye regulars like myself went to Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
