SPEEDY69 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll be heading up to Lynn for this to support the EL. Despite all the well worn lines about pull-outs, those ELRCs that I have attended have been well worth it - 2011 was a cracker, as was another at Swindon when Per Jonsson won it. I hope the Lynn track provides good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 "Sick Notes now available from Dr's Spock, Zhivago, Who and Snuggles".... Â "No appointment necessary".... Â "Hurry whilst stocks last".. Â "You know it makes sense"...... Don't want to be pedantic but it was MR Spock and DR "Bones" McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Jones Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Don't want to be pedantic but it was MR Spock and DR "Bones" McCoy  Dr. Spock's fame pre-dated Mr.Spock by some 20 years. Not my area of expertise but I believe pedants may take issue with Dr. Who, which is the name of the programme not the central character, who is known only as The Doctor.

foreverblue Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Would normally go to this meeting but considering the riders involved and the fact there is bound to be many changes, cant imagine tai, bjerre would do it for a start and 25 quid is alot when you can watch all the top riders in the world at a fantastic stadium like cardiff for very little more.

Popular Post uk_martin Posted September 21, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Got to love threads like this..."folks, stay at home, watch speedway on TV, and use this fantastic interactive scorecard". Â One day someone will cause an upset by saying "folks, make an effort, go to the track, PAY your admission, BUY a programme, and help the sport survive. Â One day maybe. When it's too late perhaps? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm struggling to find an excuse to go. Likely no Kenneth or Niels for us and £25. Just no appeal when you've seen the SWC at King's Lynn for £15. Value for money it is not 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Who knows what the deal is with BSI and their swc price tag, do they actually pay the riders or is that a FIM responsibility? I'm obviously very disappointed that Niels, Darcy (along with Janowski had an amazing race this season and was looking forward to some more!) and probably Kenneth won't be in it but the reigning champ will be :-) Surely we're doing the riders who will be racing in it a disservice, Doyle, Zagar and Bomber have all just qualified for the GPS, the smoooooth Janowski will be a joy to watch .... Â For sure lots of the number ones are missing but the competition should be more competitive without them shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 How many exclusively Elite League riders will actually turn up and ride?

g13webb Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The national people who govern these events don't seem to understand the costs to the fans . They must think money grows on trees. £25.00 admission, for a substandard field, on a weeknight, do they really expect fans to turnout in their thousands, hundreds  This was once the Mecca individual event of the year. Only the top rider from each club was able to compete, some clubs couldn't achieve that. There were more Clubs than places. Always held at Hyde Road, Belle Vue and the place was packed, Tickets with affordable for everyone, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. To win the BLRC was second only to the World Championship. How times have changed......  With so many top Elite rider missing, surely the admission could have reflected the current state of the game and tried to attract new fans instead of ripping, what few there are, off at every opportunity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
