King a kid? We are waiving the white flag already with this choice. I said when Lyon was appointed it was madness and so it is proving. He has no experience outside the PL and it's showing through like a beacon..

But Lyon obviously dosn't realise that. Perhaps someone should tell him. He is inept as that Charlie last season.

Richardson has been Team GB's best rider over the last few seasons. You are not Rob Lyon is disguise are you?

Richardson is currently our best rider. The guy doesn't have a clue.

Well the team has been announced and the new Team GB manager has made the first howler, including Danny King over Lee Richardson. Nicolls I agree should not be in, but come on, King over Richardson, who is showing good form? Rubbish choice IMO.

You are so wrong. Bomber had to go. No ifs, buts or maybes. He took Andersens wheel away and that was that. A shame but for some of th crowd to boo Andersen was farcical. Harris made the error not Hans. And personally I wanted the ref to call it wrong and put Bomber through but it was never going to happen.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/mor...icle6597093.ece All very true.

Tom Jones was close by at Glastonbury. Surely it wouldn't have cost "over the top" to have helicoptered him in as guest of honor, got him to sing the National anthems and Delilah before flying him back?

Have to agree. Entered the stadium with a couple of girls hanging under some balloons. Thought, "hmm that looks interesting, especially if they opened the roof and thw two guys unterthered themselves. Next stop 35,000 feet? Already said 90% of the music was childish rubbish. They need some professional guys in there to get the crowd going. Some of the stuff was OK but playing Kosac music when Emil cae out was embarressing in the extreme. As for Killer Queen, someone whould have killed them, and this bloke Childs must be the resident Stadium solo singer when the organisers haven't booked a star for the anthems.

That's how I saw it as well. Last year the crowd was bigger. The bottom and middle tier were full and the back straight pretty full. This year there were quite a few empty seats in all tiers. Couple of reasons IMO. One, the recession is keeping people at home, and secondly, fans don't have "their" club man to cheer on. Only a few of the riders are in the EL so fans don't have a connection with a certain rider.

And both decisions were completely correct. I couldn't give two hoots if Andersen had been excluded, but both times the ref got it right. The only time he got it wrong was when Jonsson was excluded when Crump overlocked.

But lets be honest he is hardly in the same class. Who many extra GPs did it take him? TRick was head and shoulders the better rider.

Eh? You obviously didn't read my post. I said I wanted Harris to go through to the final but it was a simple call. Harris knocked off Andersen. Just because Andersen rides for Poole at the moment doesn't mean I automatically support him in the GP series. I never have done before and just because he rides for my club for part of a season doesn't change anything. I was not biased at all, or if anything Pro Harris, but the ref got it absolutely spot on and excluded the correct rider.

Just got back. A mediocre British GP IMO with Crump dominant. Made it all a bit lacklustre. He should have been excluded when he slightly looked up and Jonsson had nowhere to go and went into him. Ref got that one wrong but the only difference it would have made was that Crump would have been three points less than he is at this moment. Both Pedersen and Harris were rightly excluded. Had to laugh when all around me were booing Andersen. I wanted Harris to stay in but it was obvious he was at fault. Same with Pedersen he didn't have a leg to stand on. Funny watching the ruckus between Nicholls and Saifudinov. Scott did nothing wrong and Emil picked on the wrong guy to have a go at. This is GP and hard riding is the order of the day. Crowd a fair bit down on last year, possibly 5000 less. Still an entertaining day and again I won't spend a penny over £30 for a ticket. Purchased £60 face value tickets for £30 outside and found ourselves on the middle teir at the apex to the 3rd/4th bend. We eye baled some great seats middle tier opposiite the starting gate and after heat 4 moved to them. No problems, free flag and superb seats. Until it's sold out I see no reason not to do the same every year. So Crump has it in the bag. Shame but Nicki is not in the form of last year and until Holder and Lindback come into the series, along with Kennett, Zagar and a few more youngsters to threaten the boring old farts, we will might have to suffer a couple more seasons of this. Adams looks like he is ready to fall on his sword which has to be good news, and Hancock can't be far behind. And one more thing. For gods sake the music is 90% hogwash. A few decent numbers to get the crowd going but it was child like at times. The Hokey Cokey for Christs sake!! There's plenty of tracks to get the crowd going, not rubbish like that.

Bloody hell it was bad enough watching it live, why suffer it again?

What a dull GP and dull winner. Last thing this series needs is Crump to win it. Emil really croaked when it mattered, inexperience. The sooner these old rider clear out of it the better. At least Adams knows his time is up, and hopefully we will see the back of Hancock this year. Lets hope that Cardiff is better than this rubbish.

Agree totally. Pedersen was robbed. I like Emil but he should have been out. Wasn't even a 50/50.

Big big well done to Toninho! What a comeback and so close to winning it. This guy is world class and has been sadly missed for a couple of seasons. His working with TRick is certainly paying off.

I thought it was a shocking decision and Emil should have been out. Pedersen extremely hard done by. He was clearly in the lead and Saifudinov suckered the ref by turning left. And I am no Pedersen fan.

The reason I came to the conclusion that Harris wasn't the most popular winner was before the final the announcer said who is cheering for .... and both Kennett and Woffinden got a much better reception than Richardson and Harris. Most seemed to be rooting for Woffinden, due to being a youngster not affiliated with Coventry, and then Kennett. Harris was warmly applauded on his win but it certainly wasn't the people's choice of who they would have wanted to lift the title. A very good meeting overall though.

You really are a miserable creature.

Unforunately agree. That bloke Lyons is out of his depth and has already made a howler in making Nicholls captain. An idiotic error. Will he have the courage to backtrack and take the captaincy from Nicholls, or continue with it to not lose face? I have a feeling it will be the latter. Oh well hopefully he will fall on his sword after the SWC.

The day you make a comment that won't send the rest of us to sleep.

This guy is an embaressment. Will someone from Coventry pop around and give him his medication.

No. Why do you ask? Poole is known for its great racing. Its been on Sky enough times for people to know that who don't visit the track.
