RobMcCaffery Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 King’s Lynn have announced that they plan to produce their own type of one-off World Speedway Final this coming season. The competition will be open to the top 16 riders from the British Elite League. Team GB boss, Rob Lyon, is a very happy man ‘I proposed it to King’s Lynn as it’s my favourite track and I see it as a way to help me with future Team GB selections, I honestly believe half the field will be made up of British riders and if it all goes well I would imagine King’s Lynn will also have a good chance of securing the World Team Cup Final in 2010. If we can achieve that then Team GB will have a great chance of winning the World Cup title which would really boost the profile of the sport in this country and give Speedway a real chance of being represented at the London Olympics in 2012.’ This seems remarkably identical to a posting attributed to Jonathan Chapman in the Individual meetings section.

2MW Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yes they have joined them, thereby making the responses to Bagpuss sound odd. Blazeaway's reply was a classic though cos it reads as a serious question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
