Speedball Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Woffy out, replaced by Jacob Thorssell I believe. Any news on whether Nicholls is at Lynn or in Poland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 So now Lambert replaces Bjerre in the line up!!! And Thorsell for Woffie!! Total farce. And how much are they charging? 25 quid? Won't be many there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 And the ELRC is tomorrow - your point is . . . . .? It was because an earlier post mentioned Tai was on the way to Sweden as a reason for not being at the ELRC so I was just pointing out that others may also be but still intending to return to the UK on Thursday.

stevebrum Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 £100 says Tai doesn't ride in next season ELRC. Any takers? Why would any of them bother with a tin pot meeting that isn't given the prestige status it was meant to deserve anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 It was because an earlier post mentioned Tai was on the way to Sweden as a reason for not being at the ELRC so I was just pointing out that others may also be but still intending to return to the UK on Thursday. Tai is heading to Sweden as he's riding in a GP their Saturday. Not for the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 [contact=helvetica] So now Lambert replaces Bjerre in the line up!!![/font] And Thorsell for Woffie!! You sound surprised.....this happens every year and will continue to do so until they hold it at the beginning of the cseasin Total farce. And how much are they charging? 25 quid? Won't be many there. You sound surprised......this happens every year and will continue to happen until they hold it at the beginning of the season, which to be fair was the plan this year. I'd probably go to this if it was sixteen or seventeen quid but to charge twenty five sheets for a meeting two days before a GP which they know very well riders are going to withdraw from is very poor.

foreverblue Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Tai`s status I’ve been to Poland to do some testing, by that I mean testing my bikes and my injured hand. The hand feels a lot better than it did, but then again it’s nearly five weeks since the crash now so things are improving all the time. I put myself through a good session on the bikes but I have to report that, towards the end, the pain was coming back and the swelling was making it difficult. It’s fair to say I still have to manage the situation carefully and I have reluctantly made the decision to withdraw from the Elite League Riders’ Championship at King’s Lynn on Thursday. This is the logical decision, but I was hoping I could do it. I missed it last year and I have to miss out again, so hopefully I will be back to ride in it in 2015. I’m on my way to Sweden now to Vetlanda to prepare for the GP in Stockholm. I’m looking forward to that, hopefully there will have been enough time for the swelling to have gone down and I can start feeling good on Saturday night. As soon as i read he was on his way to Sweden it was obvious he was on his way to the GP, it is a shame for the ELRC that once again the field looks more PL than EL. So now Lambert replaces Bjerre in the line up!!! And Thorsell for Woffie!! Total farce. And how much are they charging? 25 quid? Won't be many there. Thats ridiculous surely there are better riders than those who could replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I expect they are the next in line at their clubs.....Rory already in it so a toss up between Lambert & Porsing to replace Kenneth and Thorsell the third best Wolves rider after Woffy & Pawlicki. Expect other replacements before tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Not really the SCB's fault that these riders are not available to ride on Thursday; Iversen Bjerre Woffinden Pawlicki P Ward Pawlicki S Bech Watt Korneliussen Woodward Everyone of them flies around the NA and it would have been an awesome line up, AND a title riders would be proud to win IMO had they all been there : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame that the BSPA have just thrown this fixture in with little thought or care and at a time when so many of the TOP boys are injured. Maybe if they altered the price tag for it it wouldn't look such a rip off price. They deserve to have little support for the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a year when they invited other riders to come over and called it elite riders championship instead of elite league riders. Considering with advance booking you can see the swc for 15 quid and Cardiff for 29 quid and that includes a allocated sat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm delighting to see robert lambert in the line up that's the £25 justified for me although I'm probably the only person with that opinion...also surely more likely to get a few locals through the gate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longlivefrankie Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can anybody else remember the sixties/seventies/eighties version the BLRC when it was THE meeting held at the zoo, often graced with a outstanding line up with the likes of Briggs, mauger, Olsen, michanek, Collins p, Nielsen, gundersen etc in front of sold out ticket only crowds Ok it hasn't been essential for a good few years but it seems to me this line up reflects the state of the top league in Britain 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
