PHILIPRISING Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 HAD a strange truncated FIM email today suggesting CLF at Gorzow on April 25th ... but that was it. Maybe more tomorrow ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Not sure what a CLF is. Â Announcement from Gorzow due later today about the WSL though. I also heard from Germany that there is news there that Gorzow will be picking up the pieces that Poole had left scattered around...and good on Gorzow for doing so. Â Should be a good weekend then on 25-26 April with the WSL at Gorzow on the Saturday and a little drive up the road for Grudziadz v Stal Gorzow on the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save yourself a few miles and see Zielona Gora v Torun instead- it will be a better match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Save yourself a few miles and see Zielona Gora v Torun instead- it will be a better match  Which is a bit like asking an Arsenal fan not to watch his team but to go to see Spurs v Chelski instead... lol :-)  Anyway, on to the main event...for which this year there is only one rider with ties to two participating teams - Bartosz Zmarzlik, who'll be riding for Stal Gorzow in this event...what do we have? Well how about this...  4 National Champions Teams: Stal Gorzow Elit Vetlanda Poole Pirates Holsted  ...containing...  3 Past World Champions: Tai Woffinden Nicki Pedersen Chris Holder  SGP Winners Krzysztof Kasprzak Bartosz Zmarzlik Matej Zagar Neils Kristian Iversen Jaroslaw Hampel  Other SGP Riders Past & Present Thomas H Jonasson Maciej Janowski Davey Watt Peter Ljung  SWC Riders Past & Present Nicolai Klindt Damian Baliński Andzejs Lebedevs Josef Franc   ...not bad for an "irrelevant" "Mickey Mouse" "waste of time" meeting, is it?

After all the hyping up of the meeting Matt did last year and the year before, how odd. Â And to prove what a joke it is, the UK places has not even been offered to 2nd place Coventry!

mdmc82 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Why do Kinfs lynn replace them when they weren't the runners up in the final. Surely it should have been Coventry unless they were asked and turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the F.I.M don't recognise Poole as champs as they want Darcy points to be removed as per his sentence. That would've made Kings Lynn top. Could've asked the runners up 1st though.

Noodles Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's been confirmed, Gorzow :-(I won't be happy if Robert Lambert misses the Peterborough matches on the Friday and Sunday either side of this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Mickey Mouse competition. Just hope everyone comes back in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 It was a "Mickey Mouse" competition when Falubaz Zielona Gora staged it lol As for now, I think it's a good event to follow. Can't condem an event just because it "wasn't invented here". It's Poole's fault that the event is now being held in Poland again. They had the chance to host it, and fluffed it. On the subject of Poole Pirates, are they now throwing a sulk over losing Darcy Ward in that FIM decision by pulling out? Â As I understand it, this being an FIM event, it takes precidence over the PL, doesn't it? So yes, Robert Lambert may get the taste of some top class international action, which will be to his benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the financial side of things makes it unviable to run in a stadium with a capacity of 5500?

Once FIM insisted it being on Saturday 25th, it ruled out Poole due to no track availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
