Would be a shame for any Scunny fans who have taken time off work & possibly booked hotels if there meeting was put back a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 4 hours ago, Pirates Of Poole said: 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. Happens often, clubs don't bother racing KOC / BSN matches because they want to complete the league season, so all finals raced close together at the end of the season (in difficult weather). Last season was better when the BSN finals were much earlier on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzac Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 (edited) So do you all think if next Monday is wet and the following Thursday dry that Leicester would change their day to the following week to get the second leg? No, they wouldn't want to and wouldn't be allowed because of the tv coverage especially if the track is good. I'm not anti Poole but this situation is fairly unique to Poole and has been for the last 25 years at least. Your 'entitlement' was to have the choice of dates coming top, but that should be the end of the 'entitlement' and meetings should surely be run the day you've chosen if weather intervenes with the other date. Heading for wet dreadful meetings at end of October, or another November extension again when you look at the long range forecast if matches aren't got on with at every opportunity.

Arthur54 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Who cares we had the 2nd leg away in 2022 and the 2nd leg of the BSN final away last year and won both, would make a change too have the 2nd leg at home though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 There is some stupid talk on here. If Oxford is postponed Poole will be the first leg end of. I have this from the promoters mouth earlier today. And Poole are at home next Wednesday to Scunthorpe as already agreed and that will not change. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it’s off, Ben Cook should be back for the second leg, if he feels OK for it. Latest forecast shows a dry Tuesday but rain coming in on Wednesday afternoon. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcpn7mp10#?date=2024-09-25 Edited September 23 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
