I will go with yes seeing as we were supposed to have second leg in QF and SF but didn't end up having it cos of the weather. Plus Bates has seen that having the second leg didn't help Sheffield much. Sometimes better to be in front after first leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately at this time of year the weather plays a big part in these decisions. You have to ride when the weather allows.I can't see any team cancelling just to make sure they get the second leg.

IainB Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Let's be honest all this weather talk from the Pirates fans is about having the 2nd leg so they can have the advantage of holding any "golden heats" on their home track if they are required. Golden heats should never be used to decide a Championship and would make a mockery of the sport (again) if they were. A simpler solution would be to say that in the event of a draw then the team that won the league are crowned champions, everybody knows where they stand and there's no need for the constant jockeying from Poole to get the 2nd leg. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No jockeying just simple planning and sensible discussion with which Leicester have agreed. The Lions clearly don't give a toss as they are going Prem in any case!! :-) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Lions have "agreed" to let Poole run the 2nd leg then sadly I am inclined to agree with you that they don't give as much of a toss as the fans or as they should.
