ivanhoward Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Interesting that the words new look team are mentioned, would this mean that they are going Elite next season. With only 2-3 riders from the final 2010 team likely to retained(Roynon, Bjerre and probably Topinka) a PL septet would be new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidingpostie Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thats if Bjerre stays, with Trav and now Shane available, put them with Tom, Schrammy, Roynon and Lambert and maybe chuck in Chris Kerr that would be a new look team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 With the BSPA statement it looks like Elite League Speedway at Saddlebow next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 With the BSPA statement it looks like Elite League Speedway at Saddlebow next season. It certainly looks that way Semion.What with the Stars and the BSPA making statements on the same day and the same time. I personally want us to stay PL basically because it is better value for money and you get to see different teams most weeks.But as a supporter of the Stars i would go along and watch them in the EL,because that is what supporters of teams do.

scribbler Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 With the BSPA statement it looks like Elite League Speedway at Saddlebow next season. What amazes me is that it looks like KL will get all the help that Ipswich didn't get to allow them to say in the Elite league... Add to that the fact that if KL had refused to join the EL - as they always have said in the past - then the BSPA and Covntry and Peterborough would have HAD to sort things out for the good of the sport. Looks to me that KL have been used by the BSPA and I don't like what I'm seeing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looks that we are Elite League now. So, we're now going to be the BSPA's scapegoat and EL whipping boys so they can hang on to the Sky money.

justspeedway Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I am quite excited about the possibility of EL speedway at Lynn next year, though can understand peoples opinions and wanting to stick with PL which has been right for us so far. But personally I quite like the changes being made, I think it will make the EL and PL much closer which is what the sport needs. I think the EL won't have as strong riders, so costs should be slightly lower therefore making a meeting between a EL or PL team much closer. I also think with the changes there is slightly less chance of one team running away with the league or making crafty changes etc. I think it has somewhat been blown out of proportion because Peterborough and Coventry have taken a disliking to it, which has gone far too long and too deep much to the annoyance of most of this countries speedway community. These ongoings also make the EL even more of a NO GO then before...even though the changes appear quite good! IMO anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Isnt Batchelor still owned by KL - surely he would be first name on team sheet. In some ways think it is great Lynn are going up, because then if Cov and PBoro come back to table we will have a nice ten-team league with two great additions in Brum and KL.

Greg Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I am happy if we go back to the top league but in my eye premier league is better by miles but i hope we have not gone up if we have just because the bspa throw there toy out of there push chair.

Daniel Smith Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I have started an King's Lynn 2011 EL thread to get the ball rolling. As far as I'm concerned with both our promotion & the BSPA releasing statements both Monday @ 12pm and the fact our promotion hasn't denied any of the speculation when they could of yesterday it is quite clearly a done deal. So, I'll see you all in the EL section Edited November 27, 2010 by screamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Does this mean then from midday on Monday, the Witches can tap up your riders with Jonathan Chapman being upset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 If, as people suspect it is Elite League for next season. One nagging doubt i have is. I cannot see Coventry and P'Boro not coming to an agreement with the BSPA and are lining up come the start of next season. If this happens what riders are going to be available for Kings Lynn to use ? The Club has very few assets to call upon for Elite League racing, so will be looking to beg steal or borrow what riders they can. Will that be enough to compete at Elite League level ? As Topinka has stated in the past he would never go back to riding in the top level, will we be saying goodbye to a legend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 As Topinka has stated in the past he would never go back to riding in the top level, will we be saying goodbye to a legend ? Buster said the same thing so you just never know. One thing for sure is that TT can still do a job in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipswich Jules Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Isnt Batchelor still owned by KL - surely he would be first name on team sheet. In some ways think it is great Lynn are going up, because then if Cov and PBoro come back to table we will have a nice ten-team league with two great additions in Brum and KL. Famously owned by P'boro after his (forced?) transfer from Swindon a couple of seasons ago went to tribunal etc Buster said the same thing so you just never know. One thing for sure is that TT can still do a job in that league. Point him, Baby Bjerre and Roynon south on the A140 and give em a good shove!

Thischarmingman Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 So, I'll see you all in the EL section Are you going to get rid of that ridiculously childish signature/banner thingy when you go up to play with the big boys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Are you going to get rid of that ridiculously childish signature/banner thingy when you go up to play with the big boys? Nope, we'll be back for 2012 don't you worry. We're just a BSPA play thing for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
