essaitch Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Let's hope they announce all the line ups, the fans need to be knowing with all the rumours circulating! I'm pretty certain all the sides will have full line up's! Can't see anyone boycotting the event because of the silencers when push comes to shove!

Lake Bodom Comet Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Finland seemed to have no trouble witht he silencers when they won the qualifying round, hopefully that will give them an advantage at Kings Lynn! Any news yet on a confirmed line up for the leijonat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Nicholls, Bomber, Rico, Stead and Woffinden. No surprises really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazza Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Nicholls, Bomber, Rico, Stead and Woffinden. No surprises really. Can't say i'm surprised by the team Really happy Stead is in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Spot on from Rob Lyon as Kennett, Bridger, Barker are not riding well enough to be included. If we qualify though I reckon he may drop Stead for Kennett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 My dad said before it was announced this is what he wanted to see and I agreed, the "top 4" was never really going to include anyone else and of the rest, Stead is probably the best call and I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head how he goes at the NA but it should suit him I'd have thought. Absolutely no arguments from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Nicholls, Bomber, Rico, Stead and Woffinden. No surprises really. Well King's Lynn track specialist Ben Barker should really be in there, shouldn't he? Especially after his third place in the British Final. Cannot understand the selection of Stead, who's been in before and failed. All the best Rob Edited July 12, 2010 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Rob All about opinions of course but I wouldn't consider Barker to be an NA specialist and Stead is averaging nearly two points more per meeting according to the BSPA site.

Bagpuss, Stead's league form is much better, but it's a big meeting and we need riders with a "big meeting" mentality. Barker showed that at Wolves in the British Final and Stead didn't. It is strange that the British No. 3 is not being selected for a 5-man British team, especially around a track where he excels. But as you say, it's all down to opinion.

Bagpuss Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I think it would be harsh to rule Stead out for one bad meeting. Barker certainly has something about him and I think he will be a big rider for GB in the future but I just feel that the five pretty much pick themselves this year. Kennett, Bridger, King and Barker haven't done enough over the season to oust any of those five for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Simon Stead looks a completely different bloke from the one I saw back at Coventry for the 2008 SWC. He looks a better rider this year IMO, though saying that, I've only seen him race this season once, maybe twice. Can't really disagree with the 5 riders that have been chosen anyway. Anyone know the other line ups...particularly the line up for Sweden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 So, the World Cup week is on it's way. Kings Lynn due to stage the Qualifying Round for us. I heard that they are moaning about the requirements and other things and don't actually want to stage it at all. Well check your travel plans, if Kings Lynn carry on kicking up such a fuss, you might have to go to Coventry to watch it instead! Nothing like a good stir is there. Buster has managed to put in new concrete standing terrace between turns 3 & 4, putting in new lighting in between turns 1&2 & 3&4 all gust for the the GP event. Every week he's on the mike speaking excitedly about next week. This was part of his dream to hold an FIM event when he took over the club. He'd love to have a GP but knows that's way out of budget at the moment (unless he gets Lynn FC in the Premier League ) and the FIM have to pay rent for the event so of course there will be unexpected requirements but thats part and parcel of holding these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 No moans from me this year ( do you hear me Bagpuss ) my gripe last year was that we never picked the best side this year at least we have win or lose . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Only side Lyon could pick. None of the others can have any complaints. Bridger and Barker look out of control most of the time and Bridger can't even stay on his bike lately. Kennett has been sulking all season for some reason and looks as if he doesn't give an arse, so shouldn't be given a chance and King ain't good enough. The future looks grim.
