Are they going to refund the admission charges fan paid to watch meaningless group qualifiers?

Don't see it happening but would be nice if Edinburgh being group runners uo were offered Glasgow's place.

To add some additional interest, could the format for the Leicester v Poole v Leicester Jubilee match ups be altered in some way? If it’s to be another 7 v 7 standard meeting, why not allow two tacticals or try the Polish/Swedish formulae or introduce two or three handicap races. Something to add interest and get folks talking.

Glasgow statement on the jubilee final.

 

GLASGOW TIGERS WITHDRAW FROM CHAMPIONSHIP JUBILEE
October 20, 2022
Glasgow have taken the decision to withdraw from the Championship Jubilee League and will not take part in the planned three-legged final. Club director, Alan Dick, said the following:

“Having qualified for the Championship Jubilee League final alongside Leicester and Poole, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the competition.

“Following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September, we suggested that the competition be abandoned as a mark of respect, as to us it didn’t feel right to race in a competition commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee shortly after she had passed away, however, the other two finalists still wished to go ahead with the final, which we respected.

“Whilst our season was effectively over on 2 October following our play-off semi-final defeat to Poole, this wasn’t the case for Poole, who were still to race in the KO Cup Final and Championship Grand Final, with the latter being planned for this coming Friday and Saturday.

“Given the above, the lack of available dates, and the likely weather between now and the end of the month, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the competition.

“We would like to wish Poole and Leicester the best of luck in the final.”

Do you not agree that it’s a poor excuse? nothing to do with Glasgow would have the same opinion if it was any other team.

Why is it a poor excuse it doesn’t sit right with them clearly , It’s only a poor excuse because you want it too be I personally think they are correct on this stance.

So why are we only hearing about it now?

Why were Glasgow's views not made public earlier as a courtesy to their fans at the very least?

No idea but it was common knowledge that we were not participating.

They have now explained why and I can see why they have made there decision.

Its taken them this long to dream up an excuse you mean, what if was still called the summer trophy. They also said lack of available dates and the weather, what they mean is they don't want the expense of running a meeting which there is little interest in.

You seem to know all the answers so why ask ?.

You are making assumptions and have your opinions and others will have their opinions. There statement gave the reason why we pulled out when  or why we make the statement is irrelevant it has been made that’s  really all there is to it.

Just my opinion, if it had been Poole there would already have been pages of opinions.Their statement in my opinion is excuses not reasons.
