Bagpuss Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 This ought to be good if both countries field full sides. Just having a think about who is young enough to take part, have come up with the following teams: GB Woffinden Bridger Barker Auty Haines Mear Lambert/Newman SWEDEN Gustafsson L Lindgren Sundstrom Eklof Andersson Nilsson Jonasson Anyone I've forgotten?

racers and royals Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Would love to see Mathias Thornblom invited-really rate this youngster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Presumably any riders competing in this had to be under 23 at the start of the season, in which case Tully and Cook could ride in place of Haines & Lambert/Newman. That would make things much closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 or Adam Roynon (only just 23 by my reckoning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 So whats occuring down NA way...according to BSPA site this has been postponed... It seems that way. This fixtures also been taken off the offical website also. Very, very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 It seems that way. This fixtures also been taken off the offical website also. Very, very disappointing. Completly concur, young Screamer. A very disappointing and abrupt end to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sad way to end the season after such a great year . Dissapionted I really am . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 An explanation would be nice. Not very professional to cancel advertised meetings without saying why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Oppertunty missed in my view chance to give new faces a chance with a view to team place next season same with Pride of the East . I'd like to know why as well and also as a season ticket holder I'm a meeting short as PotE was included in place of the ko as we pulled out . Not happy not a good way to end a brilliant season of racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 so, the same excuse has been used on the clubs website as the PotE. Lack of rider availability. What a load of crap, something is clearly going on??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I don't necessarily believe anything is going on, its quite possible that again riders aren't bothered after a long season, although it will be interesting to see if the Under 23 meeting at Eastbourne goes ahead the week after. My gripe is meetings being advertised before riders have agreed to appear, very amateurish when they then get called off. I'd also thought that these meetings were official tests organised by the governing bodies, but that appears not to be the case if one has been called off already because of rider availability.

rhidassa Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 To summarise... Maybe will have to see if can go somewhere else to end my speedway season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 To say I'm pretty ****ed off is an understatement They mentioned this meeting on Wednesday evening, then a couple of days later, call the bloody thing off! I mean, what gives?! An abrupt end to the season, which IMO should never have happened. We haven't even had the chance to say a proper farewell to our own EL team! Very, very, very disappointed in our promotion. Oh well, off to Mildenhall I go for the NL final at some point as that's obviously going to be the last meeting I'll get to see this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhidassa Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 If I can, think I'll be doing that too Em... Shame, I'd really have preferred to end my season at Lynn not Mildenhall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Think I'm going to try and get to the 16 lapper for my last meeting, hope the weather is still behaving itself in East Anglia that week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 If I can, think I'll be doing that too Em... Shame, I'd really have preferred to end my season at Lynn not Mildenhall! Same here! Just can't believe our season has ended so abruptly We'd have been going to the NL final anyway, but I was really looking forward to this British and Swedish U23s meeting. Would have been good to possibly see the likes of Linus Eklof and other Swedes like Thomas H Jonasson, along with riders like Robert Mear for the British side. Think it would've been an entertaining encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
