SCOOBYDO Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just taken from www.british-speedway.co.uk ...... Kings Lynn will host the prestigious Elite League Riders' Chamionship - after organsiers switched the event from Sheffield. The World's top stars will now do battle at the Norfolk Arena as part of the Super &even series on the same date, August 30. British Speedway Promotors' Assocaition Chairman Peter Toogood said, "The meeting has had to be moved from Sheffield because of technical reasons. Both the BSPA and Sheffield will offer no further comment on the matter." Has anyone got any ideas what the 'technical reasons' are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Reason given is "technical reasons", whatever that means. It will now be held at King's Lynn. Date remains 30th August. Official statement on British Speedway website. Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Will probably be something to do with SKY and camera points like the Crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Random thought but could it be because Sheffield are staging the Garry Stead benefit meeting the week before. If that is the reason, well done to everyone involved cos 2 individual meetings in 2 weeks would probably mean smaller crowds for one or both and I'm sure everyone wants as many people as possible thro the gates on August 23rd.

salty Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Air fence perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SAINT Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) air fence for definate and the continuing feud/power struggle between the chapmans and neil machin.this has been rumbling from the start of the season.from what i'm led to believe the original 'contract' between the BSPA and sheffield (to hold the ELRC) does NOT mention that an air fence has to be used!however the goalposts have now been moved and so has the meeting.another JC cock-up!this season has been a catastrophe and is sapping my enthusiasm for the sport.it's run by a self interested bunch of megolamaniacs that will kill OUR sport if they carry on this way.

Wild Man Vic Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I heard it was something to do with the use of an air fence at Owlerton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) well yet another change with no real reason given, funny how its switched to Mr Chapmans own track as well, not bad being in charge of the super sevens and hosting two of the events. perhaps next year we can hold all 7 at KL and we could have a welsh GP at cardiff and an english one at KL to complete the set Edited June 8, 2007 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jamie Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 perhaps next year we can have a welsh GP at cardiff and an english one at KL to complete the set surely that would be the Beirut GP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Seeing as both are quite high in the averages I wouls both are likely to be there... btw is this meeting on Sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 No need to take the Lord's name in vain Trees, just plain Nicki will do. OK but one or two rules before he turns another wheel at Lynn, no racing mistakes, no wiping his armpits and then his nose with the same cloth and he has to leave the hairdryer at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 surely that would be the Beirut GP? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> or have the Scotish one at the home of Jock Speedway.....in the capital BERWICK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 What collocks! I was looking forward to the Elite around Sheff. Even more criminal is that it will now be staged at King's Lynn. So what about Workington or Glasgow or Isle Of Wight....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
