East End Fan Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Have not seen any comments from the club about the failure to get Saturdays. Cannot understand why it did not get automatic approval, After all, what is the difference between one day or another ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Richard Andrews was a rider on many fans lips towards the end of the season, with some all action points scoring performances against Kent at CP and as a guest at Buxton. also I hope we give serious consideration to Jamie Couzins who has been awfully loyal to the club other the years. Spot on wit this Teaboy. Andrews is very popular at Kent & Couzins rode well when called on. I rekon there is more chance of Len riding for Kent than Baseby or Powell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 So you wouldn’t have Jason Edwards the 15/16 year old that scored the most bonus points in national league speedway in his first season of speedway? And you wouldn’t have wood who rides your track incredibly well? If so you’re moronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Monday's looking most likely now JT cones back into the frame. I d like to see Kemp Ablitt Spooner plus one other personally. Where’s that rule been confirmed?

It's has not been publicly announced, I think the announcement about that and other various "tweeks" to the rules is due in January. But I have had it from the horses mouth, ie Promoters and Managers of 3 different clubs that the rule is in effect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real blow to Club if Saturday is not allowed. p.s Just seen been refused but Club hope that could be changed.

teaboy279 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 How can you quantify development potential. Let's not forget he is younger then a top 8 gp star. He had never ridden a lay down engine until the Laurels. So I am Looking forward to watching him develop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most memorable seasons I had watching as a Rye supporter was when Andrew Silver made his comeback. I'm sure he must have added a few on to the attendance figures at most tracks he raced at during the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Maybe some fans like seeing the old timers ride, but it's not for me. It's ok in individual meetings, but not in the league. The points limit being reduced should mean more places for youngsters, not old ringers. Maybe there should be a veterans league run along the same lines as the SDL. It would make for an entertaining second half event for those that want more races for their money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as it looks like Bowen, Boxall, Stoneman & Thomas are all ruled out for different reasons. I must admit, I’m intrigued who the number 1 is going to be.

Untill we know the make up of the rest of the team it is hard to speculate on number 1s My personal choice would be Drew Kemp if we have the points available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len is often accused of being too loyal and that may well show if he favours Spooner over Brooks as i agree Charlie has further to go in the sport. Still think whoever they track it will be a solid team BUT the influence of Bowen will be missed more than just on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
