SCB Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I hope other clubs do a Peterborough and put higher average riders in reserve than in their team! If Grondal rides, it should mean MPT has to be reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I expect all BSPA events, bar the Pairs cos of the SGP the following night, to be moved to the National Stadium anyway. Otherwise, why call it a NATIONAL stadium?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 yes... have you ever seen Shaun of the dead part 3.. could you be one of them ? No but as FP likes the post it's obviously something obscure and weird, you'd make a good pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Compared to where? 2 hours from London 5 hours from Glasgow, nearly SIX hours from Edinburgh It's central for most Prem lge teams, where do you suggest this should be held if not the EOES ?

StevePark Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) It's central for most Prem lge teams, where do you suggest this should be held if not the EOES ? As I've already said in post #134, in 2016, the National Stadium. Or Coventry (The British Final & 2nd Div Riders Championship used to be there, after all). If you think EOES is 'Central', how about King's Lynn?? Edited July 29, 2015 by Steve Park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 It's available for Sunday is it ? Rumours are the track is a bit rough, and the facilities aren`t exactly the lap of luxury but I am sure they will muddle by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the National Stadium will be used next year, that seems logical. I would imagine all the meetings you mention and the WTC will be held there also. Maybe a Grand Prix as well...

proud panther Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Going back to Sundays meeting, I think that every team should be allowed to use any riders under contract to them, including Neiminem at Glasgow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Compared to where? 2 hours from London 5 hours from Glasgow, nearly SIX hours from Edinburgh When the fours was first run at Peterborough it was classed as central as there was both Exeter & Poole as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow involved now after all these years its Plymouth that could be involved so its still central has the space to park all the cars accomodate all the riders vehicles, a pits area that can cope with the extra riders, bikes mechanics etc, the fact that Plymouth havnt qualified was not known at the start of the season when the decision was made to again hold it at Peterborough.

Lioness Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Going back to Sundays meeting, I think that every team should be allowed to use any riders under contract to them, including Neiminem at Glasgow. Something sticks in my mind (so is probably wrong!) that this used to be the case but it was a situation with Glasgow that changed it! There was a rider rode in either the pairs or 4s ( Craig Watson perhaps? ) representing Tigers but he had not ridden in any previous Glasgow meeting and it was deemed unfair to clubs who missed out on qualication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I don't know what all the fuss is about..Lambert has rode for us all season and ok Grondal has only ridden 4 meetings but hes at reserve anyway..what else should have happened?..and I wouldn't care if Niemo rides..as far as I'm concerned the more competition the better..bring it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he hadn't ridden for Glasgow in a team meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Grondal rides, it should mean MPT has to be reserve Shawn They could put MPT at reserve and give him all Grondal,s rides, what difference would it make.

Paulco Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Why does speedway continually make things difficult for itself by over complicating things ? It's not a national tournament , not every team gets to compete . The so called qualifying procedure is based on the accumulative totals of the averages of four riders , who for whatever reason might not even be riding on the day . What it is , is a prestigious invitational competition between the hosts , Peterborough , and seven invited clubs . Does it really matter therefore if a rider is signed for one of those clubs one week or two weeks before the event , or another rider is injured for a month and decides to make his comeback in the same event ? If a rider is in one of the eight club's one to seven on the morning of the event , then he should be eligible to ride for his club . Makes things much simpler . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Shawn They could put MPT at reserve and give him all Grondal,s rides, what difference would it make. only 3 rides in the qualifiers and 4 in the finals. i do believe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
