Check out their website I'm baffled! Nothing baffling about it really, It's simple, it's because they called off meetings too early in the summer, wouldn't ride because something else was on the telly and couldn't find a club to ride because the opposition's captain was on the telly. Still, you'll get people telling you they did exactly the right thing! I'll be at BV watching some world class Speedway... all for £23 a pop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Outrageous that Leicester want to run a semi final against the SON. It should really not be allowed to go ahead. Change it to Sunday afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do u propose to travel to Leicester from Manchester in time if like me being a Poole fan or indeed if ur a Leicester fan? That's the issue. Doesn't matter if the SON finishes before, well it wud av to finish a gud 3 hours before Leicester starts. As i understand the tv schedule ends at 7pm for the SON which is when Leicester starts. I'll av to see if the Tardis is available! Edited October 11, 2021 by PirateShip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Ford can get it sorted. When Leicester can run any night of the week it's ironic that they decide to run on the least & worst desirable night this week. Thurs or Fri this week? Fri folk traveling up cud go to Leicester then travel up to Manchester the next day! Certainly wud increase the crowd! Right, I'm gonna get the union in on this!

BrizHeathen Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Its no more outragous than travelling fans trying to get to Poole (and back for work early the next morning) on a mid week October evening. Fair enough during the warmer months when a date is set and when leave can be planned, but an unplanned trip to deepest Dorset in October is a tough one. Just to even things up a little.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sunday is the more important of the two days so running Saturday is the better option. I couldn't go to Belle Vue so hoping I can make Leicester Saturday and watch the SON on the TV.

So altho Saturday may not be as important it would be s waste of money not to go and attend Leicester. Plus SON accomodation was booked a long time ago so unless u want to waste a shed load of money attending Leicester it is a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes true i had forgotten that, I did originally intend to go to the SON but I am not now so I will go to Leicester and support my team instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is their regular race night. The season ends on the 31st October. That leaves three Saturdays, 16th, 23rd & 30th. If they decided to run the Semi on the 16th & progress to the final they could run that on the 23rd & then have the Colts at home on the 30th as the Cubs still have a meeting to Schedule or have the 30th for a rain off date and run the cubs on the Sunday (final day of the season).
