phillipsr Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 What are we thinking here? Can see this being closer than some think Doyle, Ellis, BWD and Morris are all decent at Rye 1. Kennett 2. Robson 3. Harris 4. Watt 5. Nicholls 6. Branford 7. Perks 1. Doyle 2. BWD 3. Ellis 4. Bellegeo 5. Morris 6. Grondal 7. Zac W 10pt home win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM09 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but Everytime I've seen Adam Ellis around Rye he's been woeful! The same goes for Zac W. Despite a good track record round Rye BWD I think will struggle at 2. On the other hand Grondal will be a weapon at reserve as all Rye fans will know from last season. Doyle, Morris and Bellego will all score very well. Going for a Rye win by 5-10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 It should be another decent crowd with good weather forecast for the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 im going for a 16 point home win, but I may change this after I see the boys in action tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ellis has had some stinkers at Rye in the past, so Swindon do look very vulnerable @ 3 and 4. It's the one track that Grondal nearly always scores well on, so Swindon will be relying on those points to keep it somewhat close. I think Rye have a cracking side though, and half expect them to go unbeaten at Hoddesdon this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Interesting one this !! Althhough I see RH winning, I sure Swindon will ask a few questions. RH have a good solid team, all capable of winning races whereas Swindon rely too heavily of Doyle and Morris. I think those two will keeps the score close but they can't ride in every race. RH to team ride to victory... Predict : RH by 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Rye win by about 10, Robins are a 2 man team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayleigh Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Rye House 60 Swindon 30 Two reasons, people have hugely underestimated the depth of the Rye side and Doyle wont score huge, he won only 1 race from 5 at Leicester (his previous home track. Early season "form" like that will put a huge dent in his 13 point average allowing some big team changes shortly. Call me cynical but been going to speedway too long to be know if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its most probably a ....

I'd take a 10-15 point win, anything bigger would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayleigh Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I forgot an official meeting doesn't count to an official average. Could only happen in Speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Last time Ellis rode RYe was in 2015. ( albeit NL standard) Dropped one point off a full max riding for Birmingham, and had only dropped one point going into the final of the NLRC where he clattered the air fence trying a last bend sweep on Ben Morley. .. hardly stinkers.

Rayleigh Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I thought if you were sent off in a FA Cup match you missed the next three matches even if they were league matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Anything more than a 10 point deficit after the first leg would be tricky to pull back. I've always thought it's easier to defend a lead in the second leg. Onus is on the home team to get heat advantages. Away side just need 3-3's Edited April 5, 2017 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Ellis rode for Ipswich at Rye in August 2014, scoring 6+1 from 4 riding at number 7 Previously, at the end of May that year, he scored 1 from 3 riding at number 6, falling in his last ride and withdrawn from the meeting. In April he had 4 rides in the league cup, scoring 6+1 from 4 including a race win in heat 2. Edited April 6, 2017 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer1969 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 As we have Ben Morley as guest as Rob Branford is riding for Sheffield on Saturday anyone know if that means we will also need a guest for him in the return leg at Swindon and also for Ellis Perks as Sheffield and Redcar are both racing at home on 13th April?

Rayleigh Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I it true that Sheffield & Redcar have first call on Branford and Perks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
