The Third Man Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 It's fair play to J Chapman to explain the seeding process, good to see from a BSPA member. Sheffield can blame their woeful riding at Saddlebow Rd for their exclusion I think. Shame really, considering that both tracks are big & grippy Tigers were likely have been favorites for this event, especially as Ashworth rode of the Panthers a year or 3 back. Alas, perhaps on your next visit to Kings Lynn you'll grab a 2nd place, hunh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually its nothing of the sort, we finished 8th in the averages, so even a second place at kings lynn would have made no difference what so ever, as did scoring more points than birmingham in the two matches we rode against them. as for mr chapman telling us how it was all sorted out, thats fine after the event when anything can be made to fit, would have been much better explaining how it was going to work before the teams were selected, and i dont remember seeing anywhere why birmingam were seeded, perhaps you can enlighten me on that one. would be nice to see the details of how the pairs are going to be selected now, rather than after they are selected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Question. If you were organising a 'big' event would you invite the team that turned up at your track and failed to beat even a home reserve? No . I wouldn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so qualification is based on how well teams do at KL, bit harsh on those teams that havnt ridden there yet this season, they dont have a chance of qualifying also didnt know qualification was based on invitations, unless your birmingham of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> come on col surely you are not that naive or blind ??? question; which team has finished in the top 4 for the last 10 years on the trot? would you "invite" them....if it were an invitation event (which it never has been previously).

JIROUT Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The Rules were for all to see on the super 7 website....and from Febuary it was listed that there would be the top 7 teams plus one seeded God people scramble for rules...then when they are professional enough to use them they get slagged off for that as well because some people dont think they are fair Its amazing isnt it Liverpool won the Champions League couple of years back....but did not qualify for it the year after....and yet through the back door were allowed in...No one questioned Uefa about it... jaybea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Until the qualification rounds are re-introduced there are always going to be arguments as to why this team or that team should or shouldn't be included. Its a shame because the event promises to be a very good one on a neutral track. Edited April 24, 2007 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Does it matter what teams are in it ? Its a day of Top Class Premier League Speedway, on a big fast track.....I guess you cant please all of the people all of the time. I just hope that speedway, in general terms is the winner with Kings lynn 2nd of cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Errr yes I think it does matter to those who support a PL team! My interest would be much less if the Stars were not in it. Would still go though. Edited April 24, 2007 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that speedway, in general terms is the winner with Kings lynn 2nd of cos <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and which team is used to big fast tracks where you pass inside or out????? and have won two of the last three fours at peterboro?????? and as for knowing the rules, no one knew when the cut off date was for qualification until after the teams were announced and no one still knows why birmingham and not any other team that didnt qualify were seeded so we still dont know the rules, as we dont still know the rules for the pairs Edited April 24, 2007 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 apart from that when has he explained the seeding process, and when was it decided that birmingham would be seeded anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hannibal Thomas Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 the meeting should be on a real track like smellmead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 So based on one meeting!? Great <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps Birmingham were seeded due to location, enticing new fans to a big event and the fact that they had 6000 turn up for an event, just a few idea's there. I'm pretty sure the Brummies will hit 20 at Kings Lynn by heat 10, also. If Sheffield hadn't been on the wrong end of 15 consecutive 5-1's, which is woeful, they would likely have been in the top 7 average wise anyway. Don't worry EoES was composed of shale the last time I went there 10-15 years ago, not mud, the Tigers probably wouldn't have fancied it anyway.
