Can't someone just make up a rumour about what's going on with RH's last rider?:D

 

John Davis? :D

Yawn

shall we start a new Rye House 2018 thread  or better still discuss contracts, Poole rider negotiations etc etc elsewhere like say in a thread of there own. God this forum can be boring when a thread is hijacked

Sure but I doubt if there'd be many contributions to judge by how quiet it's been lately.

It's us lot who are keeping it ticking over till something happens to make you lot wake up!

Fixtures are up on the BSPA and Rye House web sites. Interesting that the Rye House site says that fixtures will take place on Saturday evenings at 7pm and some Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm! I think someone needs to stop cutting and pasting from last year and actually read what they are publishing!

Can Rye house fans answer something. 

 

Before christmas your promoter was on the Talk Speedway podcast talking about how he wants to make the sport better. 

 

But he seems useless. Rye house have awful social media presence. A team which doesn’t really excite many. I can see why he wanted GP riders shared. He can’t sign any. 

 

Im just a bit confused that someone who talked such game doesn’t actually seem to want to follow it up.

Just want to know what Rye fans think?

He talks a good game but there isn't much substance.

Stadium still a mess after nearly 3 years & promised improvements haven't been spoken about in a long time.

Social media side is embarrassing. Think his wife does occasional Twitter updates but only posting links to the official site.

The team signed this year lacks any sort of ambition. He's kept banging on about signing GP riders then signs dads army again. That didn't work last season. He's general knowledge of riders, particularly foreign riders, is virtually nil. Would doubt he's ever heard the name Woryna. 

Seems like he has good intentions but it's all a bit too much for him. He has no speedway bank ground at all as he's admitted. He's still learning and is a bit naive.

Seems Ford is trying to take the piss already over KK. He'll probably be realising what he's got himself into now dealing with the likes of Ford and the BSPA in the top league.

It just seems shocking and I’m a bit embrassed for you as a club. How on earth are you meant to attract fans when the most entertaining rider is in the final 5 years of his career. 

 

Ive heard KK is being sold for the 10-15K region have no idea if that is correct? Anyone know? 

 

The social media is awful and he has failed to deliver on anything he spoke about. Your team is better than KL but it’s the most boring.

Not been up for a while but the stadium has been vastly improved upon compared to what was there but the task to bring it in line with some of its rivals is vast. 

Obviously the motorcycle dealership has taken priority and is finished? But from day one there was always a potential issue with lack of promotions knowledge regarding rules, riders and the loop holes within the sport. 

The track improvements last season along with the step up in league papered the early cracks but this years team does look very ordinary and unless a spectacle is produced at home Rye may find the crowds drifting away yet again.

sorry Chris how many other clubs post regularly over the Winter to say what exactly they are doing on a daily basis?  Why should they -  guess why no gp riders are signed is the stupid rule about only one rider with over 8 point average  (I very much doubt we voted for that rule either). Don't feel the team is too bad either but time will tell - all I remember at the end of last season many people I spoke wanted the same team but that was never possible because of the averages.

On 26th November the official website apologised for the delay in commenting on the AGM. It is now 25th January and we are still waiting! 

The fixtures have been announced but we still don't have a seventh rider.

Towards the end of last season the promotion said they had a final meeting planned after the league matches were complete but then just never ran the meeting.

Am I alone in starting to lose faith in the promotion?

Just seen Krystzof Kasprzak tweet of 19th January where he said he hasn't signed up to a UK team for this year yet - but he has agreed to ride in the Ben Fund - so the 7th Rye rider who is it saga continues!  (sorry I'm not much good at links did try to paste it but gave up)

I know someone said Rye were like Dad's Army, but Saga? Don't think they're that old.

Someone on Twitter states that rye house like lakeside may have used wrong averages for there riders to. Which I assume is the delay on announcing your last rider
