tocha Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Promotion need to do a Chapman "wind off" or fake rain off here. Rye will get murdered with no facility for Kasprzak. Rye can't afford any home defeats if they have any chance of the play offs, so the change would have been pointless if Swindon win. Oh well. The rain gods are working on it but they will have to try harder than this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646807?day=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim3751 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Still no news of the Rye reserve. I hope there's a flash of inspiration like the one that snapped up KK - that caused the cockup. Of course this has to be a learning season but this latest aquisition looks more like a publicity stunt than anything else to keep the interest up. How many other fixtures will this talented but unreliable rider miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 It will need to be an inspired choice for reserve if Swindon are to be beaten...Can't see it happening. Kennett is an interesting choice of guest..Wonder if he'll be as good as a guest as he was as a home rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset away on the 25th August for one- as he is the wildcard at the Gorzow GP the following day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hob Nob Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Can't see this happening, probably not naming reserve as first drop of rain & it'll be off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 So, Rye House have staged the grand total of four Rockets matches at home in three months and people are hoping for a postponement tonight? I don't think it's just the BSPA who have problems....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedwaycrazy Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Somerset away on the 25th August for one- as he is the wildcard at the Gorzow GP the following day I would imagine that KK will be up in the main body of the team by then, with Robbo at reserve, so not so much of a problem! Although the token guest would have to have 3 rides (ahem!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Can't see this happening, probably not naming reserve as first drop of rain & it'll be off!! And Swindon will take the 4 points if it can't be rearranged for before the cutoff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
