Woz01

Hancock, N Pedersen, F Lindgren, Harris, Nicholls, Kennett, Larsen, Schlein and Ulamek confirmed starters. Line up is looking good! Wonder who else?

I do sometimes moan at Poole but its good to see they are sponsoring a heat at the Ben Fund.

Good start to the line up!

Cant be absolutely sure i be able to attend this my 2nd child is due early March. Wont be a bad place to wet the baby's head i suppose!

It wont ever be at Wembley for the simple reason they wouldnt want to take the risk with the weather while laying the track. They have Cardiff with the roof so they can prepare the track without any threat. I go to England games regulary and Wembley is in a poor location compared to Cardiff (city centre). The difference is that we now have a facility in Cardiff where the weather is not an issue.

If i get the time off i might be tempted to make the trip.

16 heats is the cut off point and they got to that, shame.

So i wasnt the only one who thought Gollob 'dived'. Shame the rain came would have been a good final few heats.

What the hell was Holta moaning at?

This is great news for the GP's, is this just for 2012 or is it for an x amount of years??

Someone on twitter says riders fighting with fans??

IF there was to be a brit for next year it will have to be Lee Richardson or Tai Woffinden. Im a big fan of Harris but i think a bit of time out of the GP'S will do him good and he can try to qualify for 2013.

Me and my daughter enjoyed last night and glad to see a good crowd for Phil.

Me and my daughter are coming to this, its a good line up!

Yes we should wait to see what he's got to say, im not saying sack him now. If he admits it he will not have a leg to stand on and should be rightly sacked. Going by what other rider's are saying on twitter it seems to be widespread, what dont they pass on the names of riders they suspect and then the relevant people can do random checks!

Eddie has excepted the findings, his bike was illegal. His 'mistake' has probably cost us a play off place and as captain he should be more responsible.

good post!

Well im very ashamed, i can't believe he could be so stupid!

It was highlighted after heat 7 i believe. What a good statement the Bees management has put out, everything you want them to say is there.

You hear the odd rumour that its happening and i hope they do more intense checks from now on.

If true he should be sacked ASAP!!

This is wide open but remember Pawlicki beat Ward 3 times at Poole in the play off final so he likes Wimbourne Road.

Two things i would change, have the race off and final at different tracks this will stop team wanting to be in the race off for an advantage. The second one would be to have the final on a rotation basis between maybe Poland, GB, Denmark and Sweden.

If we had Nicholls and Richardson we would have had a great chance. Bridger is no where near good enough, Barker showed he can mix it with the best, Woffinden was hit and miss, Kennett didnt do as well as i thought he would and Harris was brilliant as usual.

This is Barker and Bridger's big chance i'm hoping they don't blow it but not expecting too much.
