lionsroar Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 3 hours ago, Skidder1 said: 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!! Speedway is not allowed to run past 31st October because thats when all tracks & rider insurance expires so BSPA are not allowed to sanction official fixtures.

I imagine the crowd will be pretty poor as I know a few who attended on Saturday are not going tonight purely because of what happened. When the weekend was free of other domestic meetings I assumed clubs had been told that they couldn't race or were respecting the SON. Leicester holding a meeting on Saturday is therefore a tad disrespectful to a major international meeting. Doesn't matter about the start times being different imo!! What choice did they have? We ended up in a situation where they had to run on a waterlogged track anyway. Under normal circumstances tonights meeting would have been off. I have no idea what would have happened if it had been postponed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though who would have gone through IDK, Leicester cos they are leading or do Scunthorpe get an awarded 75-0??!!

We've had SON tickets for nearly two years and now we can't keep our 100% record at Beaumont Leys. Even an 11 a.m. kick off would be cutting it fine to get to BV in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted October 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Stewart Dickson as said that he didn't want to discuss his intention to use a guest against Poole and r/r against Scunthorpe before last night's meeting because he didn't want to be disrespectful to Scunthorpe. Talk about double standards, the club are being disrespectful to the SON! Hey well the Pirates will just kick ass tonight and make the 2nd leg irrelevant! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be ample time, if they pulled their finger out they could be done and dusted by 12:30, there have been many matches this season done in around 90 minutes. Even if it didn't finish until 1pm that still leaves a couple of hours to get to Manchester or the Football with an hour to spare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know it's not good form to quote yourself, but if I was slightly upset by this clash before tonight, think how I feel now we're going to beat Poole on aggregate? I guess the only consolation is a final to look forward to..... Not another trip north of the border! 4 times in one season is bit much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizHeathen Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Its game on now. In the balance. Should be a nail biting second leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
