Good crowd considering, about 1300-1400, not as many as Wolves, and about half of Poole match. Too easy for the champs, paid maxes for Bellego and Batch.

Everyone rode well, Rye very poor.

wow our inspirational choice of guest has scored less than Kennett and Clegg, now that's not easy.

You fail again to be critical of Harris at No 1 and KK never bothering to finish a race when he's at the back.Knives out again for Kennett but everything else is rosy in the camp

Mmmm.....I hope you don’t embellish your tax return as much as you’ve embellished the size of tonight’s crowd!

KK ave 8.57 and won all 3 heat 15s at home this sseason when we desperately needed him to

Nicholls ave 8.44 expectations were not any higher surely

Harris ave 6.07 granted bad start to the season but he responded by being a hairs breath from an away maximum at Poole

Kennett ave 4.38 last year a No 1 and only 48 hours ago he beat Ellis, Lawson and Morris twice on their own track

Poor old Bomber, only beats his team mate in his first two rides .The only opposing rider he beat was Swindon reserve Wajtknecht. He has to be the weakest No1 in the league !!

Monday night racing at the Abbey will not work unless it is on a bank holiday  or against Poole i thought there was maybe 8/900 there tonight at best.The racing  was ok Rye House were dismal they looked a tired old team riding against a Swindon team who still have riders on the way up special mention for Jack Smith worked his socks off for his points.

Embarrassing & pathetic from the Rockets but to be expected. Swindon have a very decent side we do not, its as simple as that. 

Good Luck to the Robins in the next round. 

Have to agree thought things were bad but ..........    think we need a wholesale rethink of the team - not going to say who I would drop but (and I don't know about the averages) I would be talking to Tai / Freddie Lindgren  Ricky Wells and James Shanes - many more matches with this team and our season is over - we could have actually won our match at Poole last week but failed to use the TR when we had the chance (quite simple really do you want to see Summers and KK have 4 rides each or Summers 3 and KK 5)- expected to lose at Swindon but last night was a complete disaster (to actually say that we stand a chance of winning on aggregate on Wed  well what can one say?)

F'ing shambles of a side led by dumb and dumber. Dumber on the official site reckons it can be done & the side needs to mantain its self belief lol

Chris Harris you had to feel for him last night the effort was there but he looked so slow.He must of made changes and give Musielak one hell of a scrap  he tried everything then later on in the  meeting he has two falls in one race.The first was bunching on the first bend then he was involved in a horrific crash with Nick Morris/Scott all got up god knows how.? The rerun then begun and Chris is first at the starting gate amazing last night showed why i am such an admirer of Bomber takes his knocks comes back for more for  me a real racer i hope he gets his machine issues sorted out soon.

Very poor. Two seasons in the top flight and two pathetic performances in the cup. Changes need to be made.

Can't imagine that Tai or Freddie would have any intention of adding the UK to their schedules sadly, either would be a great signing but neither would come cheap.

Shanes is a name that keeps cropping up and I have no idea why. He isn't any good at Rye and has gone on record saying he doesn't like the track in the past. He's on an average he wouldn't sustain, let alone improve upon. Seems to be falling into the Newman category of average riders who people fall over themselves to sign because they rode for Poole in the past.
