I'm sure they will! Â The only downer for me, is it's a week night and probably won't be able to make it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Hope our boys get plenty of track time through the season,as i would have thought you go for a track that gives the home team an advantage.But from my limited knowledge more foreign riders have ridden the track than British over the past few years.Australia probably have a few track experts.Or maybe we ain't looking to go straight through to the final Sometimes the allocation of tracks in Gb make me wonder what is going on.A competition that cries out for a "neutral" track gets allocated to a team in that competition.Whereas a competition that needs a track biased towards our riders gets allocated to a "neutral" track Edited December 10, 2009 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Excellent choice. The Norfolk Arena is one of the best race tracks in the country. Â Hope they remember to make the track the deepest it can be - that'll mess up the Poles. Â All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Excellent choice.

hatcham Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is a shocking decision for British Speedway, i can't believe how short sighted some people are. In case nobody had noticed British speedway is facing a very uncertain future, with one of the biggest problems being the lack of aspiration most clubs have to ride in the 'top flight. To encourage and reward one such club is a massive kick in the teeth the the public face of Speedway in Britain-The Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I like the sound of that,Kings Lynn is a great race track,Jon and Buster now have one of the most improved venues going and a lot of hard work has gone into the place and the facilities are getting better and better,a great reward for what they've done if you ask me,supporting these ventures is good for Speedway over here  Shame Vojens gets the 2 meetings again though,shame that one wasn't shared around this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Havent seen even pictures from the KL track for a while but I understand it's a stadium, not just a track. That SHOULD be rewarded with a meeting like this.

iris123 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 You do know of course that GB needs that home track to get to the race off!!?? Â Havent seen even pictures from the KL track for a while but I understand it's a stadium, not just a track. That SHOULD be rewarded with a meeting like this. Of course the race off is assured if Slovenia are also in But what i am saying is,if the meeting is being held in GB the authorities should do their utmost to use a track where GB have the best chance of going directly through to the Final.Anything else is extremely risky.Using King's Lynn,where none of the current squad ride as a home track is crazy imo.And to further the problems it was the home track of what could be called the weaker link in the Aussie squad i.e Darcy Ward.So now by using this track Australia are boosted and GB weakened in my opinion.Ok it is the home track of the GB manager.He can give the riders a few tips,but it isn't the same as using a track where two or three of the GB guys have ridden extensively over the past couple of years.The race offs will be very tricky for GB and the sport in GB needs a big boost on the international stage at the moment.And in this competition we can't rely on the good old wildcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
