Fingers crossed the weather stays dry enough for this to take place and we win our second team trophy of the year. Tomorrow is mostly a dry day with the occasional shower passing through. Friday similar with 40% chance of. Shower currently. Is this really a final you would want to brag about. A final 12 months late what was to be a 3 legged final reduced to 2 legs and now a one off meeting against a select team with every chance the weather could turn it into a trick track. Then again it could be your 3rd home final defeat in 4 weeks Edited October 25, 2023 by snapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I no it’s a Leicester select but it’s not even the same 7 riders who qualified for Poole to get to the final it is turning into a little bit of a farce. But I can also understand the Poole fans wanting another meeting as it is a long winter without your favourite sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Should have switched it to Leicester. It's been a glorious couple of days here! The track would have been perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 This competition is an absolute disgrace . To be holding it now with 2 cobbled together sides over one year after the passing of our Queen Elizabeth II in the depths of winter is disrespectful in the extreme. If it were to be rerun at all, this competition should have had first priority restaging at the beginning of this season with all appropriate publicity, not tucked away as a last meeting of the season after thought. I have nothing but contempt for the British Speedway fixture organisers responsible. May the rain Gods flood the Wimborne Road track and this meeting be consigned to join the memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an extra meeting for those that go for the racing. The only unfortunate thing with the Friday date means I shall miss my first home meeting this season!
