Glasgow v Poole/Poole v Glasgow. Playoff Final 2/4th Nov 2021.


Recommended Posts

Dates are now confirmed. Glasgow on the 26th October, followed by the second leg on the 29th October at Wimborne Road.

So the final is now officially known. Both teams scored victories in their home meetings. Neither team has met recently. Should be a thriller. Too far for most travelling fans though there are bound to be a sprinkle. Luckily Glasgow stream their meetings so expect a lot of Poole and neutral fans to buy the stream, myself included. 

I feel Pirates are favourites and fancy our chances, but an injury or a brilliant performance from an opposition rider can swing the pendulum the other way. Let the best team win.

I suspect a large Glasgow home win and be able to defend at Poole.  After all Edinburgh have got good riders for Ashfield and in last couple of matches not near it. Not sure that Poole quite at the Edinburgh level at Ashfield 

 

 

 

 

Hard to call,Poole lost Rory in his 1 st ride in the League match at Ashfield and only got 5 points from IRR.If the track I dry and slick Rory could have a field day.

Ashfield dry and slick at the back end of October? Good luck with that thought. :unsure::rolleyes:

Might have come up for the Glasgow leg but hotel prices have gone through the roof (COP26) and the weather is looking very dodgy to say the least.

When we went to Poole for the Glasgow match, we stayed at Winchester , you could try staying nearer the borders, as for the weather, we are going to have to race this week at some point, don't think.it will be pleasant. If any Poole fans do manage to come up, wrap up warm with layers as it will likely be freezing

A fair summary.  Let the best team win?  As far as I'm concerned, the best team already won - the league that is.  I don't believe in the playoff system, the league shows that Poole won the league and are league champions, Glasgow runners-up.

I agree, not a fan of the play offs however they are here and we need to abide by it, in saying that I would be delighted if Glasgow won, however we are so inconsistant, at least it is the top 2 teams in the final
