This is part of the whole problem though, Scunny don't care about Leicester's crowds so send a team without Ellis, Leicester don't care about Kent crowds, so send a team without the Thompson twins, earlier in the season Eastbourne don't care about Leicester's crowds so send a team without Kennett and don't send 2 riders out in heat 15... etc. etc And so it goes on... and the crowds drop etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there have been occasions in the past that clubs have run against world championship events, they have usually been hundreds of miles away and you could probably count them on one hand. I assume the BSPL have no involvement in the SoN so are happy to sanction the event at Leicester? If Leicester, and other clubs, hadn't fannyed about calling meetings off for no reason earlier in the season we just wouldn't be in this situation. How would the called off meetings in July/August have any effect on the play off’s? We would still had to wait around for other clubs to finish their season so couldn’t start the play off’s . The original Scunthorpe match was scheduled for the first Saturday after everyone had done their matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Ford promote tomorrow's meeting when we have no official idea as to who it will be???????? No wonder he's peed off!!!! So our crowd could be screwed and we ain't been Farting about??? Who cares about Leicester's crowd, ambulance saga aside, it's tough do da's now coz u gotta fit the meetings in so all this regular race night nonsense is out of the window!!!!!!!! There, now be told!! Well if successful over 2 legs I assume Poole are going to run on Monday night so not to slow the play offs down .

Leicester cant send the twins to Kent because they are required by their first team. Eastbourne riders were not being paid and decided what would and would not happen at Leicester. Speedway UK - Too many teams, not enough riders, and now not enough days in the week! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Poole will not run on Monday without Rory and Danny, As Danny Ford has explained - whilst aware of other club's unfortunate circumstances, Poole have agreed to host the first leg on Wednesday for the good of speedway generally despite wanting to host the 2nd leg at home!! With a KO Cup final to also fit in - as well as Bjarne Pedersen's Farewell meeting - there are only 2 more Wednesdays left (although permission has been given to run on Weds 3rd November if necessary. Danny Ford on BBC Radio Solent (96.1FM) at 18.50 this evening!! Edited October 12, 2021 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to move on. I agree common sense should prevail. If Leicester can’t get the meeting done tonight, then Scunny should be awarded a 75-0 walkover. But…..the meeting will happen and Leicester will go through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
