ajh Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The obvious ones will be in IMO Kevin Doolan Tomas Topinka Kozza Smith Lasse Bjerre Adam Roynon Olly Allen Chris Mills Maybe add Darren Mallett Simon Lambert Jan Graversen Casper Wortmann Chris Schramm Craig Cook Rusty Harrison David Howe Adam Allott Outside inclusions could be James Brundle Simon Stead Davey Watt Scott Nicholls Craig Watson Apart from those can't see any of the top EL riders wanting to bother I did think about Harrison, Schramm and Wortmann but they could be tied up with the Young Shield Final against Rye House (if they get through on Friday). Watt may be reluctant to ride with the KO Cup against Eastbourne the day afterwards. I was hoping for the likes of Proctor, Fisher, McGowan, Howe and Parker but they are lining up in the Bordernapolis at Berwick the same night. I do understand the issues the promotion are having getting a line-up together, especially with the fixtures a bit all over the place, but it doesn't bode well for attracting a decent crowd for the meeting. Guess I'm still a bit old skool and remember when Pride of the East was one of, if not the biggest, meeting in our season. A top class line-up in front of a bumper crowd. I really hope I'm wrong but I can't see either this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, we won't be going unless the line up is worth going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortcrust Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Meeting cancelled according to to tonight's live updates from the Norfolk Arena No reason given on updates but then again maybe another early call off because the forecast is rubbish for Saturday. Either way I'm not fussed, seeings tho a line up hadn't even been announced yet with only three days until the meeting was taking place!!!

Shortcrust Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 How disappointing is that What that proposed line up?? I'll say!! Glad it has been cancelled if that's all they can muster for a once showpiece KL meeting! Dear oh dear!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think the right decision has been made in the end. That line-up was nowhere fitting for the Pride of the East and with supposedly a further 3 pull outs from the list above, it would of been even worse on the night. Disappointing but credit to the Chapman's for making a good call. I think it would probably be better to hold it at the start of the season in future. Polish and Swedish leagues don't start till later and most riders are glad of meetings to blow away the cobwebs. Ok, it's not the end of season finale that it normally is but you probably stand a better chance of getting a decent line-up that way.

Not a good call if you are a 7 year old who was desperate to go to some Speedway at Lynn, AJH. Unfortunately speedway at Lynn is no longer family friendly ( for family read schoolchildren), with meetings not being run at a time that kids can go. Its been really impossible to attend this year, what with cancellations & postponements during school holidays, and no speedway at Lynn on any bank holidays. We actually managed to get to Lynn once this year, which is a major disappointment to us all here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
