Chris Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Time up for Clegg surely with the change of averages with Rye well below the 42.5 limit. NBJ facility also up. Robson will return by the looks of it with no meetings for a couple of weeks & no other changes. Doesn't look like there is any appetite to shake the side up with all the top five being purchased new kevlars. A season of away drubbings, tight home meetings and a sixth place finish beckons. Joy.

A few seasons ago he look when he was in the Edinburgh team Clegg looked to be a real prospect, so its quite sad to see him where he is now, in fact IMO he has gone backwards. Obviously he needs a Championship team place and keep hold of his place at Rye House, he could end up with neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the after match press conference at Swindon both Ellis and Morris said that there were some tracks they didn't like. Both said Lakeside (Eastbourne and Rye house) and they are both now riding for Lakeside and scoring well. So just because a rider doesn't like a track doesn't mean that they can't get used to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, happens quite a lot Darcy and Chris never like the old BV (Kirky Lane) but they always scored well there. But they were always quite vocal on Social Media about how much they disliked it.

Lee Richardson once told me that when he joined Lakeside it was his most hated track in the whole of Europe but he knew that if he could master it, he would become a better rider so he came with a positive attitude, and as we know once he did learn to ride he enjoyed it enough to want to join the club as an asset. It all depends on the riders attitude. Similarly , Leigh Adams says in his book that the worst track he ever rode was his home track of Mildura but if you can master the ones you find difficult you can ride anywhere, and let's face Leigh could score big points literally anywhere so he must know what he's talking about. As Kelvin Tatum says, when he comes to technical tracks a lot riders are already beaten in the minds before the tapes go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Shanes is a poor starter. Being quick out of the gate is essential at a track like rye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Max Clegg the only rider not wearing Rockets kevlars? Maybe there’s a message there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 True Max and NBJ were the only two. Not surprising with NBJ on a short term contract but on the night I thought there was a message there somewhere. Be surprised if come the next meeting Max is still there. Shame as what he really needed was a Championship team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Harris and Clegg need to go. Summers could be a victim of the numbers and Robbo's quite expensive to have points wise on a 5.8 odd figure. Shanes shouldn't even be in the discussion. Auty on a 4.68 should be a target, he's flying for Scunthorpe. Someone will snap him up and benefit if we don't. I'm not a great fan of his but Kim Nilsson on a shade over 7 could add some firepower too, more than Bomber at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Ryehouse should have kept Ben barker or resign him now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nilsson for Harris would definately bolster the team, Harris normally gets going by now but simply isnt doing it. Nicholls has actually been top drawer this season and KK decent-ish , the rest probably wouldnt be a loss if they were dropped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Clegg has had one reasonable meeting and that was the one meeting when he tried the outside line. He has spent the rest of the season at Rye House trying to take the shortest route on the bends and that has never been the quickest way around the Hoddesdon circuit. If he can't ride out by the fence then he needs a change of track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls has surprised me how well he has ridden this season (even when he misses the gate which is quite normal), he gives it his all every race. He should know it is very much appreciated.

Chris Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 The promotion won't change the top 5 now. Summers has been purchased some kevlars now, so they won't waste money buying him a set and then dropping him. Robson will come back in & they'll just replace Clegg with the extra points available. Would only leave around 3-3.5 for a new rider so whoever comes in wont make much difference. Promotion probably losing money already with the FRN at Rye so won't splash out on a rider to come into the top 5. Besides if Poole can't find anyone then Rye have no chance.

Bought Sedgmen a set of kevlars last season and his time with us lasted 2-3 heats. It depends what kind of rider each club is after. Poole clearly want a world class rider. We need bulk changes but not necessarily one stand out rider. 1 minute ago, Shadders said: Summers is one of the riders that doesn’t deserve to be dropped Isn't actually achieving his average, but I agree. Just see him as a potential victim of the numbers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) New averages out wef 1st June. KK moves to one, 7.78 whilst Scott and Bomber retain heatleader spots. Assuming Robbo returns soon Ed will drop down to reserve. There is little room for further manoeuvre at reserve as the side totals 40.22 with the exclusion of Clegg. Tom Brennan could be a possible target Edited May 31, 2018 by tocha Mistake over eligible rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
