Yep if Poole get Ippo that'll be 2 successive Monday meetings against the same opposition and both on tv. Financial suicide!!

It was in the context of guaranteeing 2 bumper crowds for the local rivals Swindon and Poole, rather than risking either or both going out in the semis.  This added to comments by a number of senior sources at the other clubs.

i'm delighted we have chosen ipswich but in the back of my mind i am a little or actually more than a little worried about your prediction/concern re the "financial suicide" of picking ipswich lets all hope that any financial hit can be more than covered by a massive final turnout(im confident we will be in the final!!)

Makes sense for promotion and riders to go with Ipswich.  Should then get two bites of the cherry. 4 pay days for the riders, plus a decent crowd for the semi followed by a pack house for the Swindon/Wolves final

Let’s be fair Ippo are there as the cannon fodder in the semi’s.  If by some strange fate Ippo turn Poole over then Middlo will be able to make pancakes for a year with the amount of egg on his face.  That failure would be one of the biggest chokes in Poole’s history, and there is a fair amount of competition for that honour.

I had even contemplated the idea the Poole would mess up against their selected opposition
