Kings Lynn 2011 World Cup


Recommended Posts

Of course I'm biased :wink: but delighted that the SWC is back for another year.

 

Only the most bitter of KL haters could deny that the meeting was a success on almost every level.

 

Like Screamer has mentioned, hopefully the new stands that are being planned can be completed in time :approve:

Taken from the EDP today.

 

The sport’s top brass confirmed today Saddlebow had been selected to stage event two of the FIM Speedway World Team Cup on Monday, July 11 2011. The line up has yet to be announced but Team GB can again count on huge home support after more than 7,000 packed Saddlebow this summer to watch Rob Lyon’s men edge out Australia in an epic qualifier televised live around the world.

 

Team GB went on to just miss out on a podium place in the final won by Poland at Denmark’s Vojens track which will also host the opening event one on July 9 2011. The winners from both meetings will progress to the final at Poland’s new Gorzow venue on July 16 2011. The second and third placed teams in events one and two will battle out for the remaining two places in a race off also at Gorzow on July 14

Great news can't wait

 

Does anyone know where and what exactly is being built to increase capacity? Heard a rumour its on bend 3-4? :blink:

 

I think the plan was to build 2 new "Royal Boxes" on bends 3-4 but as far as I am aware they haven't applied for the necessary planning permission yet.

 

Also heard rumours that they were looking to build a new stand and bar area on the home straight.

 

Whatever the plans are, got to be one of the only tracks that are actually looking to invest in their facilities :approve:
