Looking forward to this. Poole have a great side capable of entertaining and Redcar prepare their track for toe-to-toe racing (the polar opposite of what Poole do), so it should be a great meeting. May the best side win.

Probably, makes no difference to the crowd. Most people will probably watch the GP's on demand anyways these days. The only time over the last 27 years we've avoided running alongside the GP's was when we had a rider in it. Running up against Workington Reds/Town at 3pm on Saturday/Sunday, is a far bigger issue in the Town IMO.

I don’t think people had Belle Vue as favourites at the start of the season…most of the previews I saw said they were too top heavy with Kurtz and Bewley eating up a lot of the averages and they had a long tail and weak reserves…  obviously things changed and they quickly became favourites and strangely I think their best opposition would have been Kings Lynn who ride Belle Vue better than anybody else but haven’t been good enough elsewhere. we have had one sided seasons before though and with no play offs so basically the title being won in May…Cradley 83 the stand out but a few others as well…  

Even so, JL has to have three rides so Redcar need to capitalise on this. As far as Edwards goes, rather an enigma. Not the sort of rider you can rely on to always deliver the goods. 

Agree, I think Kim Nilsson qualifying is a negative for Lindgren's chances of a wildcard. 5 Man Teams in Denmark and no guarantee of starts could also sway riders decisions.

Some big decisions re wild cards next year given the injuries to "regulars"... And, as we know, there is the political angle too, to ensure more "eyeballs" are on the series.. If Poland allow "Sweden plus one" then it could be a bun fight for Freddie... Denmark, logistically, will have the advantage, but maybe double the meetings over here would sway his decision?...
