So I wonder what the final team line-ups will be and how any British EL line-ups may be affected on the night?!

Have you forgotten we're also racing on Monday??!!

Its not me, its the vendetta!!

Must be the 'anti-Bees' vendetta kicking in again!!!

Its not clear in the rules so expect the BSPA MC to make a decision on whatever they think is fair!! How do Coventry get on with the hierarchy? Oh hang on a minute...................!!

Perhaps DH will be self-nominating for the BSPA Chair, as Alex Harkess completes his tenure!!?

Plymouth will be up in arms!!!!!

Winning something is always worth bothering with!! It tends to be only those likely to lose that have a different view.

Good to see Hans securing his Swindon place for 2016, in heat 15!!

Will Zagar be back? A 7.83 average would make for an interesting choice of guest for Monday and for a replacement for the play-offs if they qualify?!

I thought Chris's slide off was tactical to stop the T/R!!!

Anyone know when all the proceeds from the Zielona Gora 'DW' teeshirt sales are likely to find their way to the Ward family?

Thanks Star Lady.

Well that was the close meeting that I predicted!!!! Ha ha, what do I know?! When I arrived at the stadium and started chatting to many of the regular Poole fans, the atmosphere was very strange and downbeat - and many were of a similar opinion that our boys might not be up for it?! But seeing all the team coming across the centregreen from the changing rooms all in a group with Middlo, we suddenly started to sense a different outcome. The 5-1 from Chris and Davey in heat 1 settled everyone's nerves (including theirs I suspect) - although that was helped by Davey falling over his bike at the startline during the introductions to great applause and much laughter!!! The rider interviews at the end were understandably short but nevertheless there were good words for Darcy particularly from Magic, Davey and Kyle. (Chris had specifically and very understandably asked not to be questioned about Darcy). Just a couple of final words about a truly great team performance - Kacper rode 'out of his skin' - the best I've ever seen and deservedly got the Rider of the Night Award. And Dak - apologising for and explaining his poor scores were as much to do with riding borrowed equipment as much of his stuff had not been returned on time from whoever does his servicing/tuning!!! Having said that , his giving way to NKI in heat 10 and then retaking him on the line was great stuff! Lets hope we get something out of Leicester this evening!!

Exactly my prediction several weeks ago!!!!!

Heat 10 result then - depending on who is leading at the time!!

Poole to struggle to pick up an away point I feel - after the way they rode v KL.

I predict a close one for Poole with KL getting at least one away point to assist them for the play-offs. Weatherwise - its currently bright and sunny with the latest forecast now showing NO showers this evening.

Wow, just wow!!

Didn't anyone see Batch flip his bike before one of the GP heats in Gorzow - landing hard on his back!? Not only was he limping when he got up but also holding his wrist!!

Richard Lawson and Josh Bates guest for the Stars.

Thorsell for Tuesday and Lawson for Wednesday!

...and Batch still not fully fit if Saturdays GP was anything to go by!!

Pedersen was heard later in the pits, sobbing a quote from a 'Carry on...' film - "Infamy, infamy........they've all got it in for me!" Having said that with slight tongue in cheek, I do get the impression that certain groups of riders - and not only Monster riders - will do almost anything to baulk NP at every opportunity!!

People who still believe the EL season extends to the end of October should think again. With the Aussie GP on 24/10 and the BSPA AGM brought forward a month to 17th October and Polish/Swedish play-offs also scheduled for September, its becoming a 6-month April-September season. The only thing that may extend it this season is any special Darcy Ward meeting?!
