Rye House V Kings Lynn / Kings Lynn V Rye House

[Steve Shovlar]

To be fair to al concerned at KL last night, they did rattle through the 1st match very quickly - showing that there was a concious effort to get both matches completed within a reasonable time. The 2 mins was being hit as soon as each race ended!

For the rain to start literally as soon as the 1st match ended was very unfortunate. Even driving home, the rain seemed to dry up just a few miles from KL.

The rain shower was very unlucky. It was the only shower in the whole of the east of the country and just clipped Kings Lynn. With little to no wind it hung around long enough to do the damage. It had stopped when leaving the arena and the moon was out. 3 miles down the a10 it was bone dry.

Lol typical Poole fans totally missing what I'm saying! Intellect not a strong point down there is it!!

 

Poole beat Kings Lynn fair and square I'm not saying they didn't!

The rain comes and the Rye meeting is cancelled and a possibility that the fixture might not be ridden and Rye miss the play offs!!

Do you not consider that lucky?? Coupled with the Lynn riders walking out in the other match v Poole I think it's fair to say that Poole will have had some luck this season

backing up my point about intelligence I see.

 

6 home losses is luck....... nothing to do with the crap team then??? Be careful your getting to Starmans level

 

Rye aren't going to make the top 4 anyway. They cant ride away tracks. Yes they embarrassed us but that's 1 meeting out of 10 on the road. TBH I think KL would have beaten Rye last night if the meeting got the green light.

 

Robson and Morley are small track riders really. KK would've thrown a strop on a wet track. KL boys would've had a slight advantage after riding 1 meeting on the night.

 

Only Harris and Nicholls would've scored well on the night for Rye IMO.

I can assure you it was pouring with rain for the 13-miles that I drove, which was in the opposite direction to you.

Also, one lady told me this morning of the heavy rain along with thunder and lightening she drove through, so guess you were quite lucky.

But that is how it should be and illustrated perfectly that if there are no injury delays a match can be completed within 90 mins ( with no pointless interval ) and it is more interesting and exciting presented in that way ( in my opinion ). So let's have something more like that in future instead of long drawn out borefests. Had there been an interval then the first match would likely not have been completed.

Spot On.

I live near Wimbledon and used to enjoy going to Poole and Rye House but sadly Poole insist on having an interval which meant last season I missed the last race in order to catch the 9.52pm train. That was with a 7.30pm start time and allowing 10 minutes to get from the stadium to the station. When I spoke to two officials I was told they had to have an interval because the track staff had to have a break which in my opinion is ridiculous. Two hours and ten minutes to fail to complete a meeting without any injury delays has meant I have only seen racing at Rye House this season. I just hope they go to all midweek meetings next season as I am busy on a Saturday.

Total nonsense, track staff don't have to have a break. Many meetings are staged without an interval.

 

I used to live in Motspur Park, and supported the 'Dons' from 1958 until they closed, but now live in Norfolk.

 

I hear that Plough Lane is to be demolished (criminal offence IMO), has work started yet?

Agree, they can grab a drink or go to the loo when the tractor racing is on. Ours do not leave the track on mass for a break, one member goes and gets all the drinks, the same happens with the St Johns staff.

The officials gave you wrong information.

Any interval is at the discretion of the promotion.

As an active track staff member I've been involved in several meetings this year alone with no interval.

[Chris116]

I agree with those who say it is nonsense that they have to have an interval but until management say they have stopped having an interval and aim to complete meetings by 9.20pm. I will not be risking missing the last race. I fully understand that a crash can delay things, that is outside anybody's control but the love of intervals is something I can do without.

Whenever this meeting is re-run (5th or 6th sept?) .....as this is allegedly after the stupid cut-off date, will the points actually count?? If they don't it'd be bloody unfair on Lynn if we need the 3 points to

avoid finishing bottom of league and relegation play-off??

Buster said it was a play off push when he sacked Holder and Batch - he didn't say which play off - sacking those two and not at least replace them with like for like replacements is without doubt the biggest own goal in speedway history. But hey least we will get an extra meeting- though it does depend on Leicester beating Rye .

Maybe if Lynn hadnt called of two meetings against Rye for no reason it wouldnt be an issue l hope the meeting doesnt get run and you finish bottom. Infact if i was Rye promoter id make sure they werent avaliable

Agreed... but IF Leicester win or draw then we'll need 3 pts to overtake ... hence my question

They called it off twice for no reason explain hows it unfair that Lynn are unable to fulfill there fixtures

It's got to be run for the sake of the fans (particularly season ticket holders) and riders. Hopefully the Stars can nick a win for us, last go this season unless we end up in the relegation meetings of course!

season ticket holders have been ripped off Bt meeting £10 two double headers they've not give a toss about them they are now paying more than if they'd paid on the day Edited September 2, 2017 by Haza

They didnt care about there fans whilst calling off meetings for no reason or whilst serving rubbish tracks week after week. Rye House dont owe Lynn fans a thing. They have been shafted by Lynn twice why should they do anything

Never said Rye owe the fans anything, Buster must get it on for his fans and riders, Rye for their riders.

I'm sure you were one of those that were happy to get rid of those two.And surely you would have known like for like for those two weren't readily available.The reason i really knew that was when Poole got rid of KK on his 11+ average and got in Kennett you knew riders weren't willing.Because believe me Ford would have made sure he was going to fill that average.
