Actually she wasn’t destined to become Queen. Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936 to his brother George VI, which put Elizabeth a directly in line after her fathers death in 1952. When Edward Vlll abdicated the throne, 6 year old Princess Margaret asked her older sister if that meant she would eventually become Queen. When told she would, Margaret told Elizabeth, “Poor You!”

It’s been announced by the palace there will be 7 days of official mourning.

Of course it should be run in honour of Her Majesty.

Perhaps you and Fishergate can go out to the pub on Saturday and chat about how you would have easily beaten Poole. And that the Queen has ruined your speedway night by dying.

The lack of respect to our Monarch from some Leicester fans is shameful to be honest.

No. That is not the case. You might feel that but the majority of citizens are very saddened by the loss of our Queen who has been there all our lives.

We agree on something.

Yes life does go on after a period of mourning. Sorry for your loss. But the Queen is the Queen and deserves the time of reflect for her unwavering duty and service to this nation. She is not an actor, or politician. For 70 years she was monarch and postponing a few speedway meetings and sporting events is something most can put up with.

Because our Queen has died and as a nation we are showing respect?

There we go.

It was stated tonight on BT Sport that this weekends football fixtures are likely to be cancelled with no sporting activities for the 10 days of mourning. This will clearly affect speedway as any other sport taking place. There should be an announcement tomorrow. Leicester v Poole on Saturday is now off.

With the very sad new coming through this afternoon about the death of the Queen, it looks unlikely this fixture will now go ahead, putting more pressure on a congested fixture list. I am guessing that we will have a clearer picture tomorrow when announcements are made.

Well you might want to support someone taking illegal substances but others have a different opinion. Drugs have no part in sport.an illegal substance is not prescription or taking a couple of extra paracetamol.

Looks like he got off lightly. Could have got 2 years. Will Plymouth stand by him now or want him in their team next season?

Fingers crossed will be down for this. Meant to be up in London for business but will try to rearrange. If not will buy the stream.

Eh? I said it was a nasty still and wished him well.

Shame. It was a nasty spill when he lost control . Wish him well.

Well they will have Hans back. Toft might be back?

Of course it was the right call to ride today. Unfortunate that a thunderstorm, which was not predicted in any forecast, grew over the channel and had our name on it. Looking outside now it’s a pleasant evening. No way should the meeting have been called off early. Now, because of the rainoff, the Leicester meeting in the KO Cup needs to be put back. We could be playing them three time at Poole in a month.

Well said. But the majority of Plymouth fans on here are agressive in their tone and seem to think Plymouths injury crisis is Poole’s fault.

I don’t dish out anything. Plymouth fans wishing huge losses on another speedway club is disgraceful.

No. Leicester in the KO Cup. But Playoffs take precedence so that gets moved back.

What is it with Plymouth fans and their imbecilic posts? Is this poster a real speedway fan? And I am sure people on here have noticed. All the animosity comes from Plymouth fans towards Poole. They seem to have a massive inferiority complex. Most Poole fans, myself included, had a soft spot for Plymouth down the coast. We wished them well on their survival and growth. Yet their fans on the whole are abusive and not particularly friendly. This Maldon45, wishing big losses on another club shows the Plymouth mentality. Very sad and very strange.

Left home and All roads were dry. Arrived at parking near stadium to a lightning display and within a couple of minutes it was torrential. Ten mins later the drains in the road couldn’t cope. Drove home with flooded roads. Still raining now and track would be underwater. No chance direct storm hit. So we go again next Tuesday with Plymouth first leg. Let’s hope this low pressure moves away and we get a little settled weather.

Thunder and lightning at stadium. Hammering down. Wont last long but damage is being done. Looks like Plymouth get the first leg after all.
