'Just as with the first leg, Glasgow will be without Villads Nagel, this time due to a Polish fixture commitment, whilst Max Perry continues to be ruled out through injury. The Pirates will be unchanged.' Teams: Glasgow (TM Cameron Brown) 1 Chris Harris (Capt) 2 Jason Edwards (Guest) 3 Dan Thompson 4 Leon Flint 5 Kyle Howarth 6 Freddy Hodder 7 Jordy Loftus (Guest) Poole (TM Gary Havelock) 1 Richard Lawson 2 Tobias Thomsen 3 Lewis Kerr 4 Zach Cook (Capt) 5 Anders Rowe 6 Paul Starke 7 William Cairns Will 14 point lead be enough? 🤷‍♀️

Kind of crazy to think about when in the first month of the season everyone was saying Ipswich were going to win every meeting!

Yeah Glasgow on Sat 20th at 1pm now. Makes sense as people care more about the league than BSN trophy! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CHWdTqEva/

Noah says it wouldn't have been on anyway.

Apparently there is going to be u24s in Poland now. Heard it on one of the podcasts last week.

Do you mean Redcar rather than Oxford? They are the only ones holding things up that I can see.

Ah ok. That makes sense. 2nd leg Oct then 🙈

Tried that. Says 'page cannot be reached'.

Me too. Got on once to see the score 23-19 and now I can't again lol.

Not sure when Redcar are going to fit theirs in on as they have only one free Friday in September and that is because they are at home to Glasgow on a Sunday. So will they run a home meeting on 12th and 14th? Otherwise it's first week of October! 🙈🙈🙈 Unless they use another off night. British Speedway still horrendous at planning the end of season meetings.

Don't think you really need the second leg in a semi final. You didn't mention it when we had first leg in BSN SF or KOC. Also why is it on a Tuesday? Bit random, but i don't care about international football unlike Steve lol. Edit - oh i bet Redcar are at Oxford in KOC on the Weds!

Yeah, the stuff with Oxford last season was mainly to do with the Vinnie Foord/ Jody Scott incident. I'd be interested to know if they had a better experience this season or not. I did wonder if it was to do with the H14 exclusion or if it happened during the whole meeting?

Latest... “Poole fans gave our riders, officials and mechanics so much verbal abuse last Wednesday. Now it’s our turn to make Ashfield a wall of noise. “Dayle Wood received a great deal of abuse for some reason and I had disgusting insults hurled at me about my wife. She was also subjected to dreadful abuse in our league fixture at Poole. “Other riders and mechanics were also sworn at in a dreadful manner. “This all happened next to the pits. The clerk of the course was aware of the abuse. We have also sent a letter of complaint to the Speedway Control Bureau. “Any Poole fan or official who dismisses this should be ashamed of themselves. This shouldn’t be happening in speedway. “Fans from other clubs, and even some Poole fans, have commented and got in touch saying they have suffered from the same vile abuse. It needs to be stamped out. “Poole have an outstanding record in the sport but this really tarnishes the reputation of a great club.” https://glasgowtigers.co.uk/brown-turn-up-the-noise/ Maybe the Poole management need to make a statement as everything from Glasgow atm, so would be good to hear from them about what they are planning to do.

They also showed that report on BBC South Today on Friday I think it was.

Not sure i agree with that. Get more regular fans if weekly home speedway meetings. I remember when Poole were in the Prem and they did one week at home and next week away. Didn't really work, people get out of the habit.

People interested in all 3 leagues would look in all prem, champ and nl sections anyway?

Ok, thanks. Hope it gets sorted out whatever it is.

This is in reference to the swearing I'm assuming?

Yeah. I only know because they have mentioned it on talk speedway for the last 2 weeks about 20 times

Might be worth putting Zach back at 5 for a week or so as be stronger in H13 then.

Kids will always want to be at the stadium rather than watch it at home and most clubs have kids going in for free for at least the summer hols. If so many clubs still do a stream can't really affect attendances, or if it does the away/neutral fans watching it makes up for it.

What other meetings?

Also quite a few clubs don't own the stadium and in Poole’s situation, stadium use is short term future (last time i heard them asked about it in the press). I think Poole fans enjoyed H15. In fact quite a few were jumping up and down. So i think they were entertained enough. Also the track was way better than in previous weeks, so will take that.

Poole to Glasgow..

This one?
