Someone hasn't been to Poole in a long long time. As for the £250, sorry to disappoint but had a refund a week or so after the rules changed.

I thuoght it was an excellent GP tonight. Good racing on the blue groove with plenty of close exciting action. Hans Andersen gave himself every chance of staying in the 2010 series, and Gollob has given himself a chance of pipping Crump ( please!)

Great meeting tonight. Superb performance from Madsen, and the battles between Holder, Holta and Pepe were excellent. Zorro battled all the way just to lose it to Nicki at the death.

Leon Madsen is flying. Going to make a great reserve for Pirates next season.

He would have an eight average only if he was new to these shores. He would come on last years average. probably Sandhu has already been on the phone to him to come into the Bees 2010 lineup. After getting the permission from Matt Ford of course.

To support me team? No other reason to go there. Racing at Brandon on the whole is rubbish. Read the thoughts of Coventry fans every week. They also agree that on the whole the track produces poor racing. What was it like last night? I wasn't there but there were plenty that were and the consensus is thatracing was again rubbish with hardly any passing. Looks like a lot of fans talk out of their backsides according to you.

The whole series. The wildcard for Cardiff is the winner of the British Final. Just realised another almost identical thread has been started before this one.

Well last night again proved there's not a single Brit who can mix it with the big boys. last night Zorro won it. hardly a top rider but he showed all the true grit that is lacking in british riders to pull off a shock win and qualify on merit for the 2010 GP series. No point in saying he isn't good enough/too old/brings nothing/a joke/don't like him etc etc etc because he qualified through all the rounds and then went and won the meeting last night. If ever a rider deserves it for true grit and determination it's Zorro. So whee does this leave the british camp? The backside of nowhere to be honest. harris and nicholls have proved themselves to be completely out of their depth at this level. harris had the hug advantage of riding on his home track last nght but never got close to the podium. Does he deserve another chance? No way. One fluke Cardiff win and that is it. never got close other than that. Niholls has had a torrid time this year and needs to be removed from the series. Time to bring in some fresh blood. My ersonal choice would be Woffinden or Kennett. Both are young and improving. They will do as well as Harris and Nicholls and will learn with a years experience in the series. No they won't win a round but they can hardly do any worse than the current two. Richardson had his chance and is no good at this level, Bridger needs another year before being considered. Plenty of time for him to improve. Thoughts?

Don't think its much to do with the dirt. The track is not great for passing and perhaps the event should ave been held where the racing would be a bit better. Rarely been to Brandon and seen loads of passing in dozens of visits.

Bit harsh on Mango. He won't win a round or make a final but will do no worse than Ulamek, Walasek etc. He battles and can gate. Well pleased for him.

Way to go mango!!!!!!!!! What a great night to be a Poole fan. Holder in the GPs and joined by Pirates legend mango!! Cracking open the Champers I was saving for a special occassion. Nothing much more special than this!!!!

Anyone but Harris or Nicholls.

It will be the first brtish GP I will miss, ending a run of 9 at Cardiff and I have been to every British one since the GPs started. I have a wedding booking on that day so work fnally has to come first.

Way to go Noddy!!!!! 12 points so far can't be outside top 3!! 2010 GPs here he comes!! Now for Mango to qualify..........

Gutted I can't make it along tomorrow night but have family commitments. Good lineup, so much at stake I think racing will be really tough. Come on Noddy, have a good meeting thee for a change and get in those GPs to liven it up a bit.

What caused all this then?

Why go to Somerset and a meaningless ( excpet to Lemon) individual meeting when you can watch the GP Challenge for a few quid more? I will be coming up to the GP Challenge and am looking forward to it. Should be a cracker with riders desperate to qualify. In fact I will be driving right along the M5 past Somerset and I wish Lemon a successful meeting, but there's no way I would chose that over the GP Challenge.

Yes its on sopcast. Jonasson is quite excellent.

No luck tonight then. A shame I was looking forward to some racing.

Just asked and the mod said he was just showing athletics tonight. Crap. Sopcast isn't working either.

Riders like Emil will be finishing their season a bit early. Perhaps they might fancy some racing over here to pad out their season.

Really excellent meeting.

Agree. but Kings Lynn fans still think he will be riding for them in the PL next season.

Yet another brilliant race for second. And this is on a dusty slick track!

I think we have al been lucky here. the red text I think says they are having problem with their pay per view system so they have thrown it open to all.
