Doing great and Poland finding not riding in the competition until tonight has worked against them.

Well done to Woffinden. Three point lead after 8 heats!

Janowski wil be lucky to get another ride!

Well done Adam!

Looks like Poland are getting dialled in. But we are still beating the other two teams. Nearly every heat.

Charles Wright is not known for his starts. Shame Bewley got picked off. But still doing very well.

Just imagine how well we would have been doing had we had our best 4 riders there. Thing is we are currently having a small gate advantage in the early heats. Let’s hope the starting gates even out. We have every chance of a medal tonight. As for Phil Morris, love the fact the camera is in his showing him doing his job. Running the show smoothly without favour.

TeamGB doing great at the moment. Couldn’t have asked for more. Except the ref making a mockery it’s been good so far!

Lawson is fast, wouldn’t have easily given up second. Brennan was a mobile chicane sorry to say.

No offence at Brennan but we could have had a fast gating Richard Lawson in there. It’s the TeamGB managers that could cost us.

So we have a very weak ref. To allow Doyle back in when it’s clear to Stevie Wonder what happened makes a mockery of the rule.

Outrageous weak ref

Waiting now for an early call off due to dodgy looking clouds. Seen the latest forecast and after very early morning rain showers it’s going to be relatively dry until well after midnight.

When is it happening?

No surprises whatsoever. A major croak for them not to win it.

While Poole’s track isn’t as good as the BV circuit, the racing would still be good and there would be a bigger crowd. If you want an atmosphere, hold it at Wimborne Road.

So on BSN tonight is was stated that if Brum make the playoffs, they are looking at bringing in a rider who would turn them into title favourites. So who are they talking to? And what rider could turn them into a team that could beat Poole over two legs? Not even Zmarzlik could manage that!

Agree. The two qualifiers should be in GB and/or Denmark/Sweden/CZ. If the GB round had been at Poole or BV we would have had a good/decent crowd. But it was played out in front of 200 people, including freebies/mechanics. Think the Poles wouldn’t have turned up even if the gates were wide open and a freebie. This comp is a dead duck.

Shocking rubbish SWC this year. Beyond garbage. Been watching Scunthorpe v Brum and it’s far better racing.

Such a poor meeting with one decent heat so far. Berge is a third heat leader/second string in the Championship. Had a good meeting tonight but worthy of a place in the U.K? Doubt it. Chris Holder, Poole legend, shows how it’s done. Best heat of the night by Pirates own boy.

Ben Cook a far better rider than Berge already.

Ben Cook.

My brain has watching this fiasco. BSN in 15 mins thank god.
