Pretty obvious it was going to be called off with the forecast for tomorrow. Very unlikely to dodge what is coming our way and if anything the forecast has got worse as the week has gone on. 

Leicester will get a massive crowd on Saturday with local and travelling support. A 14-16 point win for the lions could easily be enough so it will be a classic meeting not to be missed. 

This two meetings are going to be far better than the dross served up with BV v Sheffield.

Well, all you Pirates, your wishes have come true, you've got your 2nd leg, a clear advantage. Why in the world the Leicester promotion agreed to this is beyond me, it's almost as if they don't care, if they don't... why should any Leicester fan?

The Leicester promotion are being sensible. What if Poole had won by a big score (not going to happen) in the first leg? Crowd would have been nothing special. By taking the first leg, the Leicester fans know they need a big lead. Big crowd. All to play for. Financial sense.  Only downside is the second leg on a weekday for travelling fans.

Well if what you say is true then it may be reflected in the away attendance next Wednesday  but i think Leicester will bring a lot of travelling support. As i have said before if Saturday is dry then Leicester will hold the meeting, no team at this time of year is going to postpone a meeting just to get the second leg, it is unfortunate for Leicester and their fans that the weather has intervened on this occasion.

Well with 3 coaches going Saturday we will be very noisy! I can't see how any team can cancel a meeting at this time of year just so they get the second leg, makes no sense.

Early call off hopefully proves to be the right call,judging by the forecast it should be,however the total hypocrisy shown be Shovlar who absolutely slaughtered the Plymouth promotion for its Early call-offs even when they proved to be 100%correct beggars belief. The majority of Poole fans even Skidder1 it's pricks like Shovlar that drag your club and its name into the gutter,why do you put up with the pr**k surely you don't condone his antics speedway related or not,he's not exactly an upstanding pillar of society is he!

I know Poole are famous for dodgy call offs but this is just ridiculous, 

Trust me, its the right decision.
