gazzac Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Best idea and save a lot of wasted time is to award it to Leicester. Probably their only chance of winning something in the immediate future...... ( Just to confirm I'm not a Poole fan...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Illegal is probably using the wrong wording , maybe not in everyone’s best interest , not the fault of Poole Speedway but a poor end to a season of many unfortunate episodes .

No, I don't blame Poole at all, they should enjoy their win, however hollow, there's not much to be cheery about these days after all. I think if it were challenged in a court of law though it would be deemed to be illegal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's Lynn is not Leicester's home track though, Leicester ride at Beaumont Park, that is their home. I don't think you'll find many people from outside Poole that think Leicester's home is in King's Lynn Maybe you should be taking this up with Damien Bates! Tbh Poole only lost by 6 and 2 at Leicester so realistically we prob would have done just enough over two legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Leicester that are members of the governing BSPL whose rules are such that they are always 'in the best interest of the sport'!! They are hardly going to claim anything as 'illegal' as they are part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Looks like they’re ignoring it. They’ve arranged a rematch of the 2012 elite league final instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have no meeting on 12th April or in May half term break I noticed, so no lack of dates available!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
