Daniel Smith Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Zagar - play-off semi in Poland Crump - Unbearable knee injury Karlsson - ???????????? Iversen - Not rode since his crash with Crump Screen - Struggling with a shoulder injury All for me, genuine reasons to have pulled out (apart from Karlsson).

lynnstars Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 What a farce these meetings are. Prima donnas pulling sickies again. This is supposed to be the best of the Elite League. No second strings should be there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This isn't a kid trying to get off school, "pulling sickies", surely if a rider is injured he cant help that and we should just accept that they cant race. As for the second strings being there, wouldn't people be moaning too if no riders were there...these riders coming in at late notice are doing the fans a favour to put on a great meeting. I am fully looking forward to seeing the best of the Elite League down at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnstars Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 No, I never referred to Jason Crump in the first place, I was actually meaning a lot of riders all of a sudden seem to be pulling out, I'm sorry if you think I was having a go at Crumpy in particular, it was never meant that way, just that this meeting seems to fall apart And I said it would be nice if he could be there even if he is not riding (being the holder of the ELRC) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would be nice if he is there and I'm sure he will. Even without Crumpy and the other injured riders there are still many great riders riding tonight so all is not lost yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am fully looking forward to seeing the best available riders from the Elite League down at Lynn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People really do need to zip there lip sometimes.

Maccas Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yeah its a pity Crump etc arent riding but there is still gonna be some quality riders there like Hans, Bomber, Nicki Pedersen etc It should still be a good meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Not in particular, just that the premier and conference riders do ride under more difficult conditions and don't pull out so easily. There is a lot of feeling of let down amongst supporters with this meeting, jason may be in a lot of discomfort, but I feel an appearance at the meeting would be a nice thing, who knows he may turn up. I think the meeting is not important enough for them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but then again how many other meetings are the premier league riders riding in? How many are competing in the gp every other week..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 What a farce these meetings are. Prima donnas pulling sickies again. This is supposed to be the best of the Elite League. No second strings should be there. The EL is a weak enough product as it is. And what are two PREMIER league riders doing in the ELITE league riders championship?! Try explaining that to someone who is willing to become a fan. No wonder people don't take speedway seriously anymore. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> YES DAMN THAT JOE SCREEN AND SIMON STEAD WHO IS DUE TO BE HIS REPLACEMENT! plonker!!

db310777 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Starting to feel happy my mate couldn't get the day off work and not give me a lift, how can the ELITE league riders championship have track reserves from the premier league? Surely there must be some EL riders that are available to take a place of track reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rob Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Get rid of this rubbish tournament and replace with a watered down version for the riders who ride their hearts out each week but always end up with low averages/points scores. At least you are guaranteed a full line up and, even though they're not the best riders in the league, I think it would still provide a good level of entertainment. For example, 16 riders involved could be Kevin Doolan Olly Allen Lewis Bridger Tobi Kroner Leigh Lanham Danny King Eddie Kennett Jonas Davidsson Andy Moore David Howe Craig Boyce Piotr Swiderski Mads Korneliussen Mark Lemon Cam Woodward Robert Miskowiak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
