It's not ridiculous at all it's a fact  . How long should we be carrying him for . Yes he's been a great servant to the club but he and his machinery are letting the team down and his performances are a shadow of what he is capable of all i'm suggesting is for him to be 100% fit before returning rather than letting the team down  and it can't be doing his own confidence any good either, just look at his scores in his matches since returning to the side , if he carries on like that he will soon have 3.50 average.  

How is it a fact? Did he let us down when we won the fours this year? Did he let us down when we won the fours last year? He’s ridden well for us this year despite having some nasty accidents.  He’s not a number 1 anymore but does a good job generally Home and away as a third heat leader and is 100% commited to the club. I agree he clearly isn’t fit yet but needs the rides to get fit rather than sitting on his backside at home.

Yes he's 100% committed but he's not fit and now we are at the business end of the season there's no time for passengers  , yes I want to see him back and doing well and being competitive which at the moment he is not.

Couldn't understand why rye never signed him . blokes as smooth as silk round there . toft is also usually red hot round there sorry oystercard is usually red hot round there not toft

MPT  has had big scores around Rye House in the past , in his 1st spell with Panthers I believe he scored  an 18 point max on a guest appearance there.

Scored a bucketful of points for The Bandits too when he guested for us

Treble Winners ....:blink: never write us Comets off , as everyone done at the start of season ..Peterborough top the league at cut-off point unfortunately for us we never got the Lakeside meeting in which has cost us dearly but a 7 point win at Newcastle today and 3points if we do win Lakeside at home will put us top at close of season . Like I’ve said before , for me the Champions are the League winners and play-offs are playoff winners. Sheffield topped the league last season and luckily clinched the playoffs too, well deserved .I don’t agree with playoffs a team who have worked so hard all season to get there can have the Championship pulled from under their feet by a team finishing 4th, and I don’t mean that in a biased way , if it’s Peterborough , and we don’t get anymore points then they are my Champions ! 

One thing for certain Peterborough will choose Lakeside but be careful ...I can’t see them giving up without a fight , Boro caught them in a second half of a double header , once they dial into Rye House be a different story imo

I'm not sure that would be the case. P'boro were at Lakeside (Rye house) last night. They've got them again home and away next sunday, and a third time home and away the following week-end. I know "local" ish derbys are usually good money makers for the clubs but 4 times in 4/5 weeks is asking a bit much. Fan apathy could be an issue.

Rye was it's usual slick self tonight, and Jon Cook said some work needed to be done to the track before the next meeting. I would also suggest less tractor breaks to keep the show moving. It was never like this at Lakeside!

It was slick but it was Lakeside that controlled track conditions. Lakeside's track man was controlling the others tractors.

You can't alter the track conditions by grading alone. The whole base at Rye is like concrete, with a loose dressing of shale on top. No doubt they will be working on this to produce a bit more grip before next Sunday.

Think Aaron will be in our thinking on a return to his parent club with his strong end to the season.

Will be on a more attractive average than Vissing so can't be ruled out.

Hopefully Aaron stays put in his local area where he’s had no pressure this season! :wink:

Possibly wouldn't rule that out either, but i am sure it will be discussed at some point.

As i say will be a better option average wise than Vissing.

He is riding well after a slow start, not brilliant around Shielfield but has had some very good scores away from home and I would be very happy to see him back although not at number 1 but we don’t know what’s happening with the leagues so god knows.

Yep need to see what happens first before anything is decided.
