Whose Idea Was It To Use Kings Lynn ?!?

[foreverblue]

Track prep is vital at any meeting as it was at Lynn and last nights meeting was terrific,its the best ive seen at Lynn foor many years.

I went to the elite pairs there one year and the racing was awful and have heard comments many times how its such a home riders track and the scores there seem to back this up but when Lynn were in the top league you saw great racing all the time,so it must be down to track prep.

Try it sometime? I watch it quite bit. I will be at Poole tomorrow night for the Buccs meeting. It can be entertaiing at times but doesn't hold a candle to the Pirates meetings IMO. I have seen speedway through al the levels this year and none is comparable to top flight speedway.

 

Thank you for your reply, Mr Shovlar. But do you any comments from conversations with Mr Lanney about your suggestion of bringing three/four teams up to the Elite League after his season promoting at just one club, Oxford, in recent years and the problems he encountered?

[Sprog1]

I am going to have a lay down.

I wouldn't, not after all the trouble Eddie Kennet caused by having one last week at Lakeside

[castrolargh]

I used Poole as a third choice. Monmore would be fine. An EL club in the centre of the country where British riders should do well. Not some PL track, regardless of how tidy it now is.

 

Hopefully the manager will do the right thing and fall on his sward in a couple of weeks time if TeamGB fail to make the final. It's on his neck in his own back yard. No excuses.

 

Kings Lynn or any PL club shouldn't get a sniff of holding a prestigeous international meeting in the UK. EL only and rightly so. The riders race in the EL, not PL. IF PL fans want to watch top riders, go to an EL track!

well i have seen read some drivel before , but you really do put yourself across as a snobbish condescending prick with all this preaching about PL tracks not deserving to hold this meeting.Hope the humble pie didnt choke you .Fall on his sword after getting beat by half the poo team!!!! yea right dream on shovlar.

Dont know what everybodys going on about , there was nowt wrong with the selection of track , It was an ideal choice , a better track and stadium than some of the elite league venues notably belle vue ,

Yet again another who misses the point... there not a problem with the stadium or the track it's weather Pl team should be rewarded with an a event as such as this .

 

 

We all know that Kings Lynn have a better track ,Stadium and better crowds than some Elite teams so it begs the question why are they in Divsion 2 and these other teams in divsion one in the first place ?and the answer is they don't need to as there is no reward to, and if you get gigs like this for being a division to side nothing ever going to change .

[Chris Brown]

I should imagine Matt, Middlo et al completely disagree with me.

 

Not to worry Steve, I am sure when you realise that you will change your mind anyway

 

Have to say that as someone who has pretty much lost interest in the sport I thought the bit of Mondays meeting I saw was very good. Personally I hold the view that PL tracks is they are capable of holding such events should do so. I would much prefer tracks to make a few quid who are likely to re-invest it in British youngsters rather than the EL tracks who p**s it away on 3rd rate foreigners and watch what little money we do have in the sport go overseas

You seen Kl teams of late ? the foreigners that Pl teams p**s away money on and not even good enough to be 3rd rate .

What, you mean invest in emerging talent like David Howe and Joe Screen ?

[Midnight_Lady]

I see the drivel is still pouring out from the usual suspects on here

 

King's Lynn did themselves and the SWC proud. The presentation was good, the music was brilliant, the viewing excellent, the facilities good, the track produced some brilliant racing and last but not least the crowd produced an awesome atmosphere

 

Well done to all concerned.

Why chose a track that Batchelor and Ward were brought up on?

 

This meeting should have been held at Monmore, Coventry or Poole[\b], or a track where the British riders hold the upper hand over their rivals.

 

This is going to be a walk in the park for the Aussies. Poor call to go to KL.

 

And using Poole for event 2 wouldn't play in to the hands of Watt, Ward and Holder?

 

Somewhere like Ipswich or Swindon would of given us a small advantage - not that it was needed in the end

 

Does humble pie taste nice Steve?

[Steve Shovlar]

No humble pie eating here. I stick to what I say. PL tracks should be nowhere near a major event.

[Trees]

But Shovlar it's not the BSPA's decision is it, surely it's purely BSI's, take that up with them!!!!!

[chunky]

Would you ever see big football matches being hosted at a 2nd tier team like Scunthorpe, for instance?

 

Hmmmm... Wasn't Hillsborough used for FA Cup semis etc, even when Wednesday weren't in the top tier?

 

Haven't most international matches and Scottish Cup finals been held at the home of a lowly-ranked Scottish team?

What about the bit where you said it would be a walk in the park for the Aussies?

 

You really are the most stubborn man.

[rhidassa]

As a general comment, you will gain respect if you can admit when you are wrong. Refusing to admit it when you're wrong, particularly if you've been proven wrong, proves nothing and gains nothing. It's unhealthy for someone to think they are correct all the time; a bit of humble pie can be very useful in bringing people back down to earth.

Well i assume this also applies to Ikaros Smederna's and Filbyterna's tracks then since they ride

n the Swedish Div 1 (which is the Swedish equivalent of the B.CL.)?

Absolute garbage once again. A PL track shouldn't be considered? Have the nerve to say that to Buster and John Chapman right in front of them and justify your claims.

 

Can I just say that the track prep for the GB leg, and every stock car meeting featuring the F1 Stock Cars and National Saloons has always been first class. Last years Saloon World was one of the best track preps for the sport I've ever seen. Top that with the 07 and 09 Brisca F1 World Final, the Chapmans do an excellent job with the track and fully deserve hosting such events at the Norfolk Arena.

Just be grateful you aren't married to him.
