phillipsr Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 What are your thoughts here?? Oddly i think Rye might be stronger at Swindon than at Rye but think Swindon will go through to the next round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I see Peterborough are also riding thurs so not sure who Bradley is an asset of and who gets priority, if he is at Swindon we should win on the night, if not we should still win on aggregate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Are Branford/Perks available.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffster Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Are Branford/Perks available.? Yes, according to the Rye House Website. Didnt expect Branford to be available, as he is a Redcar asset, so, according to the previous rules at least , his current Championship club, Sheffield, should have priority when fixtures clash. No idea who Ellis Perks is an asset of. I thnk Bradley is an asset of Somerset, so Swindon would have priority over Peterborough. It's speedway though, so could all change tomorrow !

keef robin Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Narrow win for Swindon on aggregate. Kennett, Nicholls, Bomber, Watto like Blunsdon. Will many Herts Yids and Gooners be making the trip west?Friendly welcome assured from the Back Straight Bog Crew, but use the facilities at your own risk. Hoping for decent size crowd again. Don't like this doubling-up nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who Ellis Perks is an asset of. I thnk Bradley is an asset of Somerset, so Swindon would have priority over Peterborough. It's speedway though, so could all change tomorrow ! Rob will be riding for Rye House, he is owned by Redcar but according to the 2nd priority (3) below, as he rode for Rye House last year we have priority. Also after last Saturdays debacle it states on the Rye website today "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. A Rider must be released to take part in a higher priority Meeting, unless he is “Doubling Up”, in which case the priority for a clash of Official Meetings is as follows: - 1) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged Fixture 2)1st priority to the owner of the rider 3) 2nd priority to the previous season club 4) 3rd priority to the league in which the owner club is a member. Ellis Perks is owned by Poole but he will be riding on Thursday so Rye should have their full 1 - 7 team, fingers crossed, as who knows in Speedway and I think us fans of all teams are getting a bit fed up with rules being mis-understood or ignored I'm thinking of coming from Rye on Thursday and bit of advise re stadium please would be appreciated as its years since I've visited Blunsdon. Is there any seating, do I need to bring a chair or will a cushion on a bench do, us oldies like a bit of comfort you know, especially if we are unable to stand for the whole of a meeting because of aches and pains, also whats it like for parking and is there a pub nearby where I can get a meal at a reasonable price. Any advice greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Bring your chair as there are only about 50 in main stand. Bring a portaloo. Plenty of decent eating places nearby, Jovial Monk, Robins Farm, Harvester, Cold Harbour, and Monica's, excellent fish n chips by the Monk. You can park there and short walk to stadium, or pay to park at stadium. Couple of snack bars and bars in stadium. Enjoy your visit to The Abbey, and wrap up well, nearly always cold on Blunsdon Hill. Edited April 11, 2017 by beefy keefy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The age and value make repair uneconomic, so it'll have to be updates Perhaps you can make it next time, i'm one of the few Arsenal supporting, pie and mash eating cockneys amongst the west-country crowd at Blunsdon, although the local delicacy Lardy cake ain't bad, washed down with a cider. Are you going to speedway dressed as a clown now then Keef There's quite a few clowns at Blunsdon so if you can't beat em join em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
