Well IF Rye House are going to run again this season they will not be able to afford the three big earners (rumoured to be on guaranteed money, I not blaming them for taking it who wouldn't) Nicholls has rode his socks off all year and apart for Kings Lynn so has KK but Harris has been the biggest let down of the three so if he has gone it may that Rye House are reverting to financial sanity and that it does not automatically mean that the Fat Lady has struggled out of her chair.

Woz01 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Whatever standard of rider we have in UK it doesn't matter until the sport is promoted far better than it is now and with new ideas. The sport is so lacking in that respect, it has no chance unless that part of it improves significantly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Sky 1st got involved the BSPA missed a massive opportunity of reaching the newer younger speedway fan. They should of worked together for the future of Speedway in the UK and used Sky as a massive advertising tool to attract new fans and old fans back to British speedway. The standard at Belle Vue has not dropped it's increased tenfold, but the younger generation are still not there. They are the future of British speedway, if we keep missing them of the radar, then this long sloping road we are on will soon bottom out and Speedway with it. Most of the sky money went to the riders but as people keep saying “they have to earn a living you know “ the same people who say the sky money was wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had of done, Swindon wouldn't be in the $#!+ they are now, staring down the barrel of a gun. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Harris' average higher than Bellego so I don't think the information from someone's good source is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry - there was no source. I’m still hoping that Rye House continue and I think Bellego is doing the job he was signed to do at Swindon - and is going nowhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anzum Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Not worried and wouldn't have posted except some Rye House fans were worried it meant their team had folded. I know the poster wants Bellego out the team, which he can have that opinion, but this rumour was upsetting people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless/until you hear anything official (from club sources) it’s best that everyone ignores all the rumours and speculation on here. Some people seem to enjoy starting rumours or passing on information that they were told in confidence (I know something you don’t brigade) - both are as bad as each other. We should all wait and see what happens and keep our fingers crossed that the situation can be resolved so that speedway at Rye House can continue this season Edited July 1, 2018 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave that kind of shallow stupidity to others. I have been trying to help people ffs! There is a serious situation. This is not some trouble-making lazy gossip. I leave that rubbish to the many on here that love that rubbish. When I see stupid speculation on here though it is hard to stay silent. There IS only so much that can be said. Clearly it is a waste of time trying to help people by making them aware of the fact that this isn't a matter of failing to buy shale!!! All will come out in good time. I guess the wiser course would have been to leave you all stewing in your own stupid gossip. Lesson learnt. Apologies - it wasn’t aimed at you (as you seem close to the situation) - it is all the wannabes that I find annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Okay, you win. I regret trying once more to help the BSF. I will remove all postings on the matter and you can all whinge on about how nobody ever tells you anything and maybe work out why? EDIT: - There, all gone now.

As it was circa £100k per track a season not a bad little earner for the man who invariably meant his team had to use Guests when he was often riding somewhere else rather than at his own teams' track..! A resounding success of a Business and Operating Model if ever there was one.... Edit: And when tracks paid this money to ten or so 'top riders', crowds still dwindled at an alarming rate...

He spent 95% of his time on here being abusive to nearly all and sundry. Puts himself on some kind of pedestal when in fact he is nothing more than a speedway fan, like the rest of us. Calling people names in virtually every post that are brimming with venom. Not a nice person. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 What are the BSPA doing ? It seem someone on the verge of sport (R McCaffrey) is in the know yet they can’t release an official statement. If they want it all cloak n dagger they should find the source of Rob’s info. Or even ask him who it is. I’m sure he would respond as he has the best interests of the Sport at heart. Don’t you Rob ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 It was an earlier leak that told us "there might be news on Tuesday". That, at least could have been confirmed by either RH or the BSPA but they chose to let speculation continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
