He's simply voicing what's been done before!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole staff are contracted to work at the football stadium so that would have taken priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, there is very little Middlo does without thought or due consideration especially where speedway is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Confirmed that if Friday's 1st leg is rained off Leicester have agreed to Poole hosting 2nd leg on Weds 26th - currently held for Jubilee!! Ps first of this evenings rain showers has started with thunderstorms due a bit later.. Edited October 19, 2022 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Probably will be called off Friday half an hour before tapes up. Poole putting the travelling supporters 1st again. Just saying what's been done before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) So if it’s rained off Friday, that looks likely, Saturday goes ahead at Leicester. It’s a wise move as three full coaches and at least the same again in cars will boost the attendance no end. Put the second leg back to a mid week date and probably only one coach, meaning a couple of hundred less fans coming up from Dorset. £4,000 in lost revenue.

How late do you think they will leave it before it is called off. You could say the forecast is bad enough to call it off now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we call it off now were cheating, if we call if off near start time, know consideration for traveling fans, can't win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'd assume they will make a call on it tomorrow afternoon based on the forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Fair play to Leicester for potentially giving up the second leg at home, one wonders if the same would happen t'other way round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
