Woz01 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 To me, allowing guests to be invited to compete for the ERC is afar greater issue then the actual meeting clashing with the Havvy's Testimonial . I'm sure there will be plenty of top riders wanting track time before jetting off to NZ, to make the testimonial worth while. Whereas, try explaining to the unwanted riders from the Elite league that their services are not required, because their place is going to someone who is not even riding in our league. Imagine the trophy going to say Nicki Pedersen, and he hasn't ridden here for years.... We want to inspire riders to come here, Not take the rise out of those that do................ I would prefer it to be EL riders only but if they go down this route then I hope the guests will be limited to around 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they've got to have some more top riders to justify the admission fee - unless of course they fund a reduction in price plus all the refunds from 2013 from the Sky money?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) So now that info from Poland is mentioning that the meeting originally scheduled for Peterborough is now being held at KL on the week end of 22,23 March, is this also part of the reason for the change of date for this meeting, which now clashes with the one for Havvy at Poole on 21st, or was it just sky wanting to show it on the fri.

Who will be guesting for Kings Lynn? NKI and KB already booked for the Morten Risager testimonial on the 22nd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Reported that SKY tv will be at the meeting on the sunday, the saturday is for a 4TT qualifying meeting. So thats the real reason for the date change then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Can you please change the title of the thread now please I would if I could. At least the over reaction of Havvy being "screwed over" will now stop. Two decent meetings ahead for the fans to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I hope this new time and date gives viewing figures a boost. Not ideal for fans of both speedway and ice hockey in the city though. Edited February 5, 2014 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREDON Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Should have been on Sunday afternoon, might be warmer. Also much better for school children, as it is now Sunday evening, people will stay at home and watch on TV., especialy anyone who has any distance to travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Poland doesn't kick off until April I know that Nick but many of the Polish clubs have pre-season 'get-togethers/training sessions' or even a pre-season Cup Tournament at Kings Lynn??!

FTM Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sorry - I don't play or watch ice hockey!! Apology accepted I was a bit OTT as well due to the fact my youngest son is Events Cordinator at the Blaze and they usually play most home matches on Sundays and like any sporting club they need regular income to stay competitive. Hope you accept my apology as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
