hammer1969 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not sure if this is correct but I am under the impression Rye promotion did not get a vote at the last AGM as they had not been promoters for a certain amount of time. If that is the case it's bl..dy ridiculous. If people are "officially" promoting/running a club they should have a vote at all decision making meetings. If anyone can enlighten me further on this please feel free to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is reverting to Saturdays for home meetings relevant when the club is 'unable' to fulfil its fixture at Somerset next Wednesday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for the club and hope something can be done to allow your season to be completed. But I fear for the future of the sport I've followed for over 40 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Somerset Speedway regret to announce that due to pending internal problems at BMR Rye House Rockets, it has been necessary to postpone next weeks meeting at The Oaktree Arena on Weds July 4th.We would like to emphasise that the circumstances are beyond our club's control and apologise to any fans and of course our sponsors for this postponement, but the decision to cancel has been taken early to try and mitigate any inconvenience to our patrons.We hope to be able to accommodate Rye House to the Oaktree later in the season." It does seem odd that because Rye want to race their home meetings on a Saturday they are unable to fulfill an away fixture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree. There are obviously more problems than fans are privy to. I know gates are down at mid week home meetings so finances must be playing a big part in the problems at the moment. I really fear for our existence at present. Many of us fans wanted the club to stay in the Championship, more meetings, more local(ish) derbys, as much as we like seeing big name riders I believe the Championship is where we should be. Better still let the 2 leagues join up, meet each other in the league once at home and away, add in a Knock out Cup with teams drawn from the hat and perhaps a few a individual/local derby cups and you would get racing from Easter to end of September every week, and to encourage younger fans one child under 16 £1 entry with a full paying adult. Rider numbers might be a problem so cut the riders to 6 per team and bring in some youngsters from the National league, as long as team averages can be evenly matched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Is it just the Speedway that has been cancelled at Hoddesdon or all the other activities as well ? Speedway Club In trouble or the actual company that owns the site ? I assume they are sent up as different Companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVEHOLS54 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Whilst we all want to see Rye pull through, there could be one major problem with getting their way if they were to allow them to race at home on a Saturday. Some are displaying a what the hell if the odd rider is missing attitude, but let's dig bit deeper on the possible implications, as although we don't attract all the big stars now, this is the possible number of riders each visiting team could lose out of their seven current riders, as no way they will race UK on a Saturday for one reason or another related to POL as well as other continental possible commitments. Belle Vue 5 - Leicester 3 - Rye House 1 KK - Swindon 4 maybe 5 at times - Kings Lynn 2 - Poole 6 yes 6 and maybe even 7 with Worrall getting odd rides out there - Somerset 2/3 - Wolves 2 Not as easy as it sounds initially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it REALLY matter if your team finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th I suggest it REALLY matters that 8 teams finish the season at the correct time YES it does if you're running a team sport, because we all know it's not "a rider", how often have we seen teams run r/r and 3 or 4 guests. FRN is the right way to go, it should be run on the night that is most favourable to the club though, if that means do away with foreign/GP riders so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
