Shadders Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Not surprised. These things need to be organised well in advance. Playoffs have ruined Speedway for me with the season over at start of September for lots of teams. The sport always looked better under floodlights but now we end before we need to switch the lights on. It might not be long before the sport is just a series of open meetings. I'm only interested in team speedway. Individual meetings do nothing for me. Agree that there's something special about speedway under floodlights Enjoying yourself in the frozen north shads? Apart from missing Rye House and Pie & mash I'm enjoying it. Mind you, the last couple of days have been pretty nippy which I'm not liking. Still braving shorts at work though. Gotta show these Scots we ain't all southern softies! Edited October 4, 2017 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 So according to Facebook Rye have agreed terms with three riders for next year... i wonder who? My bet is Nicholls, KK, Robson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 One thing for sure is that I'd run far away from Harris if I were Rye House! A rider who has had some good times over the years but is on the edge of major decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rider who has had some good times over the years but is on the edge of major decline. Agreed. He's a spent force, better options out there on similar averages. I'm sure others will disagree because he's a racer and a nice guy. Would have Nicholls over him any day, again not the rider he once was but experienced and can get out of the traps.

Chris116 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 There won't be another meeting at Rye this year I have no problem if Rye House management have decided not to run another meeting but I think they should have let their supporters know by now that we have seen the last for 2017 or that they are still trying to arrange a final meeting. The total silence is what annoys fans and looses support for a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris116 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Like this you mean? http://ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1492 Exactly, that did not appear when I checked before writing my original comment but I am glad it has done now.

Chris116 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 It was there yesterday. I do not doubt it but it did not come up on my phone so I suspect my phone used an old version of the website when I looked which can happen! I am glad we now know what is happening and look forward to next season. NOTE TO SELF:- Check web site on computer, not phone, for updates!

stevemill Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Pretty sure Nicholls will be at Rye next year . He was a special guest of BMR at Brands Hatch last weekend for the touring cars. Work that out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Think wells is on a good average and maybe someone like Manzares on a low average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Wouldn't surprise me if both Nicholls and Manzares are at Foxhall next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie456 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Heard from a good source Rye hoping to keep most of this year's team with the addition of Broc Nichol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me wolfie Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Heard from a good source Rye hoping to keep most of this year's team with the addition of Broc Nichol. Looked quite handy in the world cup, something to do with Ricky no doubt, was hoping we would take another look at Ricky after his performance for us in the KO cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welwyn Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Heard from a good source Rye hoping to keep most of this year's team with the addition of Broc Nichol. Quite ironic as I was just thinking about what average Broc Nicol would come in on. If we could stick him at reserve I would be very happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 There were rumours last winter that Nicol would be in this season's team. Personally I think he needs a season in the second tier first. If he is on an assessed five point average he is likely to drop it and we have an asset in Busk Jakobsen who would come in on a lower average and probably score more. Changes need making to ensure we improve and challenge for the play-offs. Every other team will go back to the drawing board and look to improve, we can't expect what wasn't good enough this season to be good enough for next. Sundstrom should be top of the shopping list whatever the points limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundstrom would come in on 7 I think and he would be a great signing for Rye House and in the UK in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
