Steve Shovlar Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) 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.

eide67 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Weather forecast doesn't look great for Glasgow every day until the 31st and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Weather down here looks okay for next week, which is surprising as normally raining in half term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Surely with the weather for the week around Glasgow this Sunday makes sense to run the first leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Not enough time to advertise it for Sunday. My guess is next Thursday or Friday, leaving us whatever is left. Probably next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashfield dry and slick at the back end of October? Good luck with that thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
