I HATE THE RAIN Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The bspa website says there will be 9 pairings (teams) racing over 18 qualifying races Is there a format or any way of deciding which team misses out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The bspa website says there will be 9 pairings (teams) racing over 18 qualifying races Is there a format or any way of deciding which team misses out? Interesting that there will be 9 pairs from a 8 team league, how will that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Interesting that there will be 9 pairs from a 8 team league, how will that work? 2 pairs from Poole so we win a trophy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Cat from Mars Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 And if we have a 10 Team League, who is going to be the lucky team to miss out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Kev Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 And if we have a 10 Team League, who is going to be the lucky team to miss out? They will probably add the totals of the pairings for each team and the lowest misses out. So it could be Eastbourne that misses out.

Pinny Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 They will probably add the totals of the pairings for each team and the lowest misses out. So it could be Eastbourne that misses out. Eastbourne wont with Pedersen and Kylmarkorpi or maybe Gustaffson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIGHTLY ROUND THE BEND Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 And if we have a 10 Team League, who is going to be the lucky team to miss out? Based on recent BSPA logic.......Kings Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Of the 60 odd meeting I went to last year, this was the most boring meeting I had seen for a long time, I wont be going to this years, save my money for a decent meeting with some racing in it. What a bore fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Cheetah Snr Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 As the Premier League Pairs is run every year at Somerset with 10 teams then I can not see why there should be a problem. I would suspect article on BSPA site is a copy from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBee Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 It will be 10 pairing as per BSPA website - http://www.speedwaygb.co/elpairs.html Pooles twitter feed has confirmed that they're in Group B with Coventry, Eastbourne, Lakeside and Belle Vue.

I HATE THE RAIN Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) GROUP A: Wolverhampton (Fredrik Lindgren/Tai Woffinden) Peterborough (Troy Batchelor/Linus Sundstrom) Birmingham (Krzysztof Kasprzak/Daniel King) King's Lynn (Kenneth Bjerre/Niels-Krisitian Iversen) Swindon (Scott Nicholls/Simon Stead) GROUP B: Coventry (Hans Andersen/Edward Kennett) Lakeside (Adam Shields/Lee Richardson) Belle Vue (Chris Harris/Rory Schlein) Eastbourne (Bjarne Pedersen/Joonas Kylmakorpi) Poole (Chris Holder, Davey Watt) Why no Nicki? Very strange, Nicki has gone on record stating that KL is his favourite track. Almost forgot My prediction Top 4. Poole, King's Lynn, Belle Vue, Wolverhampton with Belle Vue coming out on top Edited April 19, 2011 by I HATE THE RAIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNikeAguero Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 TRIPLE world champion Nicki Pedersen will be back at his old track King's Lynn representing Peterborough at next week's Elite League Best Pairs. Pedersen, back in British racing for the first time since 2007, will partner Troy Batchelor in the star-studded meeting at the Norfolk Arena on Wednesday, April 27. The Dane wasn't originally included in the line-up but organisers have now confirmed his availability and he will go back to a track where he raced every week for two seasons in 2001 and 2002. King's Lynn co-promoter Jonathan Chapman said: "This is great news for the fans because there is no doubt Nicki Pedersen is box office and it's great to have him back racing in this country. "And it's only correct that one of the top names in the world should grace a prestigious meeting like this. It's an unbelievable line-up and a huge honour for King's Lynn Speedway to be hosting the event." Make up your mind BSPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Maybe a prior commitment in Denmark? He did sign for P'boro very late after all. Or if you are a true cynic it might be worth noting that the first GP is three days later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
