Poole are riding the 1st leg of their semi this Wednesday, so why not this Friday at Leicester? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appologies Ian I was thinking that you were suggesting Scunny for a Friday night. I'm guessing they do not want to have a major fixture on an untried night of the week.

Its a case of not being able to please all of the fans all of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll cancel a match in the summer because of a football match on the TV... but won't run on an attractive Friday night but choose to run against the SoN that many, including myself, already have tickets for!

IainB Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Taken from Lions website: "The second leg has been provisionally set for the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena on Saturday, with a slightly later start time of 7.30pm due to the televised Speedway of Nationals at Belle Vue in the afternoon as well as Leicester City’s home match against Manchester United."

I'll be at Poole on Weds for the 1st leg to cheer on the Pirates, my local track is actually Leicester so with the meeting being on Saturday it's rubbing a lot of salt into the wound. Couple of me mates are Lions fans so there's quite a lot of banter that goes around between us. May the best team win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any fans travelling up from Poole or elsewhere could possibly set off on the Friday and take in that meeting as well, then go on to the SON if they are going there as well. Just book extra accommodation for the Friday. Financial do da running on Saturday! I'll be at Poole on Wednesday, finally I'm getting there! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Edited October 11, 2021 by PirateShip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
