But except Kent (mondays) and Brum (Wednesdays) none of the CL or NL meetings are on the same night so their floating fans can pick any top flight match they fancy under the FRN arrangement. Yes I realise that, I was referring to the Premier league matches ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilliePieman Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hope they reorganise for next year. If not then a Prem and Champ as one league looks high on the agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man that could have changed things but he wasn’t allowed to was JC - Busters son . Sadly we are seeing the final nails going into the coffin- Now BT can pull the plug on league racing as the deal I believe was for minimum 8 teams .

He’s just overseeing the sport and unable to give any leadership when other promoters want their own way. Complete disaster I’m afraid for Rye House and their promotion must take a lot of the blame for taking the club up a league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluru Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 9 minutes ago, Haza said: If anything he’s done more harm to British speedway than any one that had the role before him - he’s clueless Have to agree. The last two seasons or so have been quite dramatically awful. You need to go back a long way -- Ducker, maybe? -- to find a chairman who has wrought so much carnage under his stewardship.

topaz325 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Sad day for Rye House and their fans, does not bode well for next season and this season also. As others have said just the tip of the iceberg regarding club closures. I did say when Belle Vue got the go ahead to run at the new stadium .....What will the new league look like.

screm Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 While this is certainly sad news it probably doesn't come as a total surprise, rumours of some kind of a deal involving Lakeside have either been wide of the mark or any talks have failed, either way its the good supporters of Rye House who will suffer most and those I feel sorry for most. Hopefully Rye House will return next season but IMO there`s a lot of water to run under the bridge before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I particularly disagree with what you are saying. However the validity of this along with most of your posts is questionable when you do not appear to know what year it is. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 You have to feel for the Rye House fans and riders. I just hope that something can be salvaged to allow the club to be resurrected next season. As for Chapman, his chairmanship has been a disaster. Yes, he inherited many problems but has failed totally to achieve even the minor improvements that he promised when taking office. The openness and transparency he made a priority is a total joke, the BSPA is now even more secretive and where is the promised new rule book. Instead we agreed to fixed nights, which included the worst night of the week for attracting crowds and even managed to make a mess of that by changing the other agreed fixed night to Wednesday, when Denmark have priority. Now, more than ever, we need someone to step forward who has the ability and the vision to take the sport forward and to give that person the authority to do what is necessary. Self interest had to be put aside for the sport to survive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 What did anyone expect? Rye stadium is a dump, the team is rubbish ,and the promoter is a prat. Little wonder people didn't support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbiter Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 For any track to shut is sad, I feel for the fans and would like to wish the all the best and hope someone can come in and turn the club around but I do fear in this day and age it maybe an impossible task!
