Well if its good enough for Mark Lemon to call it 'The Ashes Test Match' then its good enough for me!!

Maybe no other promoters wanted to take the risk!!??. As Poole Season ticket holders can use their passes, I guess its MF not the BSPA that are promoting it. And why not call it a 'Test Match'? rather than a 'friendly' or something similar, if it gets more people through the turnstyles. Although I guess now that Holder is unlikely to ride, it becomes a less attractive fixture for the locals.

Bridger (and possibly Woffy) doubtful. Roynon, Cook and Auty on standby, with Adam first in line!

I wonder if Bridger will be replaced? He is clearly not fit after his crash at Blunsdon!!

It was posted on the Poole forum yesterday by the forum administrator who is also Poole's PR man, just after Lemo announced the Aussie team on Facebook. Middlo confirmed it in interview on Centre green last evening. Hope thats ok for everyone.

Well would you ride with a recently repaired collarbone - if you didn't have to?!

Team GB is:- 1.Barker 2.Bridger 3.Harris 4.Kennett 5.King 6.Nicholls 7.Woffinden

Dozey, Grumpy and Sneezy?!

Sullivan and Crump have a love/hate relationship. Crump hates Sullivan and so do all Crump's mates!! Sullivan loves to be on his own!

Why not ask Davey Watt??!

So it is ok to win at all costs, rather than just take part then?! Just checking.......!

Well its not as if 3 of the senior Brits have been performing that well on their own home track, is it?!

I think I'm right in saying that Promoters have to pay a fee (to the BSPA?) to stage a Test Match, ie. they have to bid for it - assuming other tracks were interested?!" The meeting then becomes a BSPA 'shared event', with all proceeds, after covering all stadium costs, going to the BSPA rather than the promoting club. So well done Matt Ford.

One of Scotty's and Bomber's favourite tracks!! I wonder if Crumpie will ride?

Every year, but each team with a reserve is all the tweaking required. And if the reserve is used to replace a rider 'feigning' injury or just off-form, so what?!

Poole have announced a Test Match between TeamGB and Australia at Wimborne Road on Wednesday 1st August. Full 7 man teams to renew the SWC rivallry. Should be a good one!!

Are you a Pole?? Not sure what the Danes' team is yet but reckon it will be a close call between the Danes and Poles, with GB a stubborn 3rd.

Nothing but the facts, man!!

You could always book a bigger seat!!

Team GB, Assistant Manager Phil Morris; Nationality - Welsh!

Darcy Ward replaced by Troy Batchelor in Event 2.

I'm pleased the Russians went through - if only to prove that the Poles aren't invincible on their own tracks!!

Have to say I enjoyed the Heat 20 commentary from Nigel and Kelvin. Really got the excitement factor just right.

Without wishing to repeat the point - there are 2 reasons why Darcy turned down the SGP invite this year, the main one being money!! He needs to build up a decent bank balance (as all other SGP riders do) in order to afford to compete consistently in the series. Will Darcy be a future World |Champion? Absolutely!!

If one of them is secretly related to Geronimo, I can guess which one!!!!
