I was there. I've also been to November meetings at Belle Vue, Canterbury, Hackney, Mildenhall and Wimbledon, just from memory.

All a long time ago though.

The most recent November meeting is over 290 years ago:

1 Nov 2000 King's Lynn Craven Shield

So the KO cup is the 27th at Poole, as above Bjarne touted for the 3rd November does that make the final Nov 10th?!! 

I would have thought playoff final will be before KOC. So if Thurs and Fri in Scotland goes ahead, maybe it will be Sun/Mon. If they want 2nd leg, prob have to be Sat or Sun (halloween) as assuming Edinburgh or Glasgow would want Friday. Unless they agree to ride on an off night? 

It also said away KOC is 22nd or 23rd.

CUP DATES PENCILLED IN 

  17/10/21 

The 2021 Knockout cup final first leg is scheduled to take place at Edinburgh on Saturday 23rd October with the return leg being staged at Wimborne Road the following Wednesday (27th).

In announcing the dates Poole boss Dan Ford said, "the plan is for us to go there on the Saturday with a 2.30pm start, but we will be monitoring the weather forecast closely and if that worsens then we have agreed the contingency to bring the meeting forward to the Friday evening and be part of a double-header fixture, with the Monarchs hosting Glasgow in the rescheduled play-off semi-final."

"Obviously that wouldn't be ideal and we understand that this uncertainty could affect some travel plans but we need to get the meeting on, especially as we also have the play-off final dates to slot in. Of course we would hope to have a good following behind us but for Poole fans unable to travel we understand that the Edinburgh will be streaming the meeting."

"We will be putting tickets on sale for the second leg shortly and we hope to attract a large crowd as we seek to secure the knockout cup and the first part of the double."

So maybe 29th-31st October for the play=off final??!!

If Edinburgh vs Glasgow meetings manage to go ahead this week and Edinburgh make it through, then the KOC one on the Weds should be changed to the playoffs. Actually should be changed to playoffs even if it's Glasgow!
