Ticket bought and going on the Sunday. Hoping toseland gets a podium or atleast top five to show he is progressing. I know the usual Rossi fan club will be there but I am hoping there will be lots of support for Toseland

On Sunday forget it, its heaving and once you've found a space you dont want to move as you'll loose it.

Camping with a mate Fri-Mon on site. ETA: Don't care about the planes... where's the drinking smiley!?

Will keep an eye on this thread to see if any orgers are planning to meet up.

Fizz, you say that and the one place where there is never too many peeps is the bottom hairpin (the Melbourne Loop is it?) The esses are always packed and you can't get through for shizz but the hairpin is a good place to see. My fave is the hill by the Dunlop straight as you can see them hit, coppice(?) and then across, down the straight and through the esses. Best place if there was, for an org meetup, would be on the dunlop straight by the hills.

I watched most of BSB practice at Melbourne Loop to see what it was like in prep for Moto GP and am planning on watching the GP there now. Nice grass banking and quality action!

I find everywhere is packed on Sunday, I've never bothered trekking all the way down to the Melbourne loop as its just to much hassle to fight your way down there.

Yep Exit of Coppice is always good, especially with the 990's power sliding out of there. But again its packed on Sunday.

We've got Grandstand seats so we tend to mooch round everywhere on Friday and Saturday and then stay put on Sunday I cant be doing with battling my way through the crowds its just to much hassle.
