Wonders will never cease, as one of the princes of British speedway, Chris Harris, pledges to enter the qualification process for the 2010 GPs:

Which suggests to me that either, Britain only has one guaranteed entrant for next season or Harris has been told if he fails to make the top eight, someone else such as Woffinden, Bridger or Kennett will be given a go.

I dont see where pride comes into it Schumi, its obvious that Britain gets two competitors for the GP's as does Sweden and probably Denmark and Poland, Harris obviously has no confidence in making the top 8 or being one of Britains top 2, i would say it was a move made more out of fear than pride.

Will serial charity case Scott Nicholls follow suit?

As he is currently Britains number 1, why would he need to ? when will you FINALLY get the message it is BRITAIN that is the serial charity case not Nicholls.

Based on the assumption that Nicholls wants to be involved in the GP's, it would not be a 'wonder' for him to enter the qualifiers or a 'miracle' it would be an example of extreme stupidity.

So you're not overly confident that the global superstar - Britain's "undisputed No 1" - is capable of actually qualifying for the GPs and makes the calculation that failing in the qualifiers would damage his chances of charity?
And what if he fails to capture the British championship and is no longer "Britain's undisputed No 1"?

To answer your last point first, he will be out!.

If you were to read through every comment i have ever made about Nicholls and the GP's, you will find i have consistantly argued AGAINST Britain or any other nation being given special treatment, i DONT believe he should be involved in the series because like all other Britons, he is not worthy, HOWEVER if the system (as flawed as it may be)says Britain has two entrants, then as British champion and undisputed British number 1, he should be one of the two.

If you were to look at the football world cup qualifiers you will see numerous examples where decent teams such as Denmark, Sweden, Portugal and Hungary all find themselves in the same group, from which two at most can qualify, whereas the americas group(all of them shit) get at least three entrants, its unfair but thats life.
The rules are the rules and to date Nicholls has qualified on merit, not by being among the world top 8(which he is not) but by being among Britains top 2(which he is) so as unfair as the system may be, he has done nothing wrong.

Oh and to answer your first point, there is every chance he would fail to qualify, it is something of a lottery, and i have never rated him that highly, i dont even particularly like the chap.

Crikey, look at PePe go - henryw will be pleased. It seems that in his first heat Protasiewicz was just outside the Gdansk track record - he's flying at the minute.
From the result of Ht 13, it looks like following his interview for our little forum, Adam Skornicki is seeking to add weirdness to his credentials.

Good news for HenryW, but not so good for me, my favourite Pole is a gonner already.
