It only happens in speedway 

Spires and Cheetahs two different teams but had Bomber been allowed to guest at Oxford for Poole, that would have been interesting, on his home track in front of his home fans, after all, they might have two teams at Oxford, but it’s not two sets of tracks or two sets of fans.

Would the fans applaud Bomber if he cost the Cheetahs the tie?

Heavy rain in the morning and light showers in the afternoon it is saying now, so might be a bit iffy. Friday at Poole looks good atm though.

If it’s rained off on Wednesday, will Poole go ahead in Friday? Not sure we will give up second leg.

Think the weather will change a lot over the next 24 hours so we shall see. Same with Poole Friday, prep the tracks knowing rain is around and take all the heavy dirt off. Oxford did it at the first match of the season against Birmingham that I went to and worked well.

I think we would have to considering we have 3 finals to do and Oxford won't ride on Weds 2nd Oct! I low key prefer having first leg anyway.

This is what happens sadly when you are trying to run 3 finals last week of September going into October, weather starts to play its part and we spend more time worrying about that than the actual exciting meeting about to happen.

What a great advert for speedway that would be.... "meeting postponed because Poole want to host the second leg..."   For Heavens sake.
