Starman2006 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Think i'll go along with what others say on here. It should be run at a different track every year. Not Wolves nor Coventry. And to my mind Somerset should get a shot. Edited November 7, 2013 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Wouldn't it be great if there was a plan to share it around the country, I'm pretty sure that all home fans would go to it at their track and there will always be a few travelling fans, it's up to the riders to make the fans want to support them in individual meetings. I love the idea of a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon meeting at Lynn ........... those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I agree with SS as it should be on a different track from time to time. Tai probably would have won anyway but he does have home advantage which cannot bee right. Plenty of good Premier League tracks that could do a good job, it would be neutral for all the top riders..

And to my mind Somerset should get a shot. Why not Coventry, if we are talking about trying to revive the British Final then Brandon would be the ideal venue. Fair track, easy motorway links and probably the only stadium that could cope with the crowds it used to get. If there had to be a permanent home it should maybe be Coventry but as I said earlier they should share it around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 If we get our stadium built, the National championship should be at the national stadium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 i would like to see it at workington. good track and plenty of space for every one. sheff is also a top track. but if you want something different, try redcar. start at 7.30 and it will all be over by 8.00.

New Science Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 These top meetings should be held at different tracks each year, also I would like to see the elrc held on a pl track and the plrc held on an EL track where no top pl rider doubles up.That's been tried quite a few years ago and it didn't work Think i'll go along with what others say on here. It should be run at a different track every year. Not Wolves nor Coventry. And to my mind Somerset should get a shot.Not sure Somerset would want to give up the Premier league pairs on the eve of Cardiff in exchange for the British final.

Why the hell should Coventry get it. They don't have any right to be given it, just because as every Coventry fan comes out with the same old line "its Central" Tough. You are dead right to say it should be shared around, including Somerset. And i hope the moron who came up with that stupid ruling for the British final as last season keeps his gobstopper shut. Should Tai win it, the runner up goes to Cardiff as the wildcard End of. Not sure Somerset would want to give up the Premier league pairs on the eve of Cardiff in exchange for the British final. Maybe not, but they have proved they are capable of holding a high profile meeting. Edited November 8, 2013 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I agree with SS as it should be on a different track from time to time. Tai probably would have won anyway but he does have home advantage which cannot bee right. Its awful that the league and Worlds best rider in 2013 had home advantage. How on earth did he manage to get any points on board throughout Europe all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Would love to see this around the EOES, as wont be a home advantage to any rider, and be nice to go somewhere different and spread the events around a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 On a weekend would be nice too. Probably impossible because of other European leagues running. Anyway, it's only a British event not an international fixture so the championship has no priority outside the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skthecat Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Does anyone on here not think that Brandon Stadium, packed to the rafters on a hot sunny Sunday afternoon in the eighties and early nineties, watching Mark Loram, Andy Smith, the Collins boys, Morts, Kenny Carter, the Grahame bros, Louis, etc fight it out on well watered, grippy racing strip wasn't the best years of the British Finals???? (May have missed a few star names as well) Anyone have a particular final they remember from those days.......??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Anyone have a particular final they remember from those days.......??? Loved the British Finals at Coventry, especially the one that Martin Dugard won as my friends couldn't stand him. I can't remember any years but there was one that was rained off twice and it was third time lucky in the end. I can also recall having to leave the car near the beginning of the road to the stadium as the traffic just wasn't moving. We walked the whole length of that road with two small children. No wonder they have grown up not liking speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to run it on a Sunday afternoon then Poland can do sod all about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a National Championship without the best Brits would be a farce anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we say the British Final is on a Sunday, Tai is riding there and not in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth did he manage to get any points on board throughout Europe all season. You need to read what I posted or not twist it. I said he would probably still have won but having home advantage is not a hindrance is it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won by John Louis with a supreme 15 point maximum. Fantastic racing throughout and one of the best races I have witnessed in the run off for third place between Ray Wilson and Martin Ashby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
