Poole Pirates Vs Rye House Rockets 10/5/17


Recommended Posts

correct lisa i was told only 1200 for swindon,odd time of day but im pretty confident the reason for this yrs low crowds is twofold, firstly darcys meeting done immense damage to customer confidence and secondly the dust levels have deterred many spectators from coming back(diehards excluded) still soon as the holidaymakers arrive with their bulging pockets of cash and kids to keep happy the place will be rammed

agree darcy meeting and dust have done big damage to crowd level's. I don't think holidaymakers come to speedway like they used to anyway

The lower than expected BH attendance v Swindon was as much to do with the weather forecasted and the hail/rain storm at 4pm (gates due to open at 4.30) than anything else!! I had several messages from fans who were going to attend but simply didn't think the meeting would be concluded!!

 

(Having witnessed the performance - I wish it hadn't been concluded!!) ;-)

No because there is far more to do nowadays, than there was in the 60's 70's.

Oh really that has strengthened Rye House a bit.

Depends on who is taking his rides, but yeah Robbo is not good at Poole. Although he can have the odd okay ride there.

Should be a comfy home win. Pirates by 14.

We should be okay now with KB riding.

I thought when they announced the team that Rye House were in with a fair chance of being in the end of season mix.

By dropping Davey Watt and replacing him with Ricky Wells. Plus the performances of the rapidly improving Ellis Perks and a PL (elite) team having the common sense to give Robert Brandford a runout I'd say the Rockets if they avoid major injuries could win the league in their debut season

Morris bloody hell. Might be on decent form but number one he ain't. Banana skin written all over this.

At least its been dry so we know the track will be more to our liking.

He only needs to get 7+ for it to be an improvement.

sooner have r/r now

Why? Morris is a decent guest.

with wells and the two reserves taking the rr rides doesnt that weaken rye

No. Robbo probably get up to 5. He's no good at Poole.
