Seb the Snail Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I thought that we had to qualify this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) I thought that we had to qualify this year? I presume by that you mean do the pre-qualifying rounds. If so, no we don't. The 6 teams that competed in Denmark are seeded to the Final Tournament. Edited January 16, 2009 by HenryW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I thought that we had to qualify this year? Still to be confirmed but this seems reasonably definite: http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/2009/01/...w-peterborough/ Poland goes to Peterborough 13 July - Peterborough (United Kingdom): United Kingdom, Australia, Poland and the winner of Terenzano (Italy, Germany, Slovenia and Hungary).

Off to the race of for "Team GB" then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yes. I bet the Poles will love Peterborough as it is more like the tracks they ride on and for Australia Crump and Sullivan (if he rides) know the quick way around the Showground by doing a bit of grasstracking on the bends.

Should be an awesome meeting, Complin for a Team GB spot haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj. Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes. I bet the Poles will love Peterborough as it is more like the tracks they ride on and for Australia Crump and Sullivan (if he rides) know the quick way around the Showground by doing a bit of grasstracking on the bends. in general it's not really a track that poles seem to excell at really,it seems to be a bit of a myth that as it's big and fast they will love it,granted one or two of them do ride it well,but on the other hand aussies do seem to ride the track very well and they always have done,all the aussies riding in the uk at the minute seem to always be some of the best visiting riders over the last few years.Crump and sully will be almost unbeatable,chris holder is awesome here,rory schlien is a rider many fans wanted in the team this year due to his performances there and well leigh adams is leigh adams-doenst matter where he rides really,for britain scott and bomber are pretty good at the eoes,danny king can be quite good,tai woffinden can ride it but doesn't like the track,ted kennet has always been awfull there but did well last year so hopefully that can continue,lee richardson is very hit and miss around there so to me it looks like a bad move and can only see a big win for australia,we SHOULD be able to beat poland but that will tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 teams that competed in Denmark are seeded to the Final Tournament. Ok cheers. Someone mentioned to me in the pub that we weren't seeded this year. It's quite a shame really, as the likes of Italy, Germany and Russia are about our level. Australia, Poland, GB and a Qualifier should be a cracker.

Seb the Snail Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Will I be seeing you there, Seb? With Mrs Snail? I'd imagine that an appearance by Mrs Snail at The Showground would be similar odds to seeing either Lord Lucan or Elvis Presley! There's half a chance that I might make it. If you're over for a while then I'm sure a lemonade could be arranged at some point either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt bode well for the future of British speedway if this bloke, in the pub, doesnt even know which round the team starts in!!!!!

BUt hey - it goes over other peoples heads and I apologise for that Squall!!! And as for Vog - what more did you expect!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Its not slick enough for the Poles Indeed. To have even a sniff of qualifying we need the track to be nice and deep. Having it at the EoES is great news for those of us who live less than an hour away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBKPCNBob Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'll be planning to make the trip to this one, aint be to the EOES yet, so will be nice to visit a new track in 2009 plus with the line-ups expected it should be a superb meeting.
