lbw 862 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Why oh why are Leicester thinking of running on the same day as the SON if they get into the semi?? Check out their website I'm baffled! Edited October 10, 2021 by PirateShip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out their website I'm baffled! Nothing baffling about it really, It's simple, it's because they called off meetings too early in the summer, wouldn't ride because something else was on the telly and couldn't find a club to ride because the opposition's captain was on the telly. Still, you'll get people telling you they did exactly the right thing! I'll be at BV watching some world class Speedway... all for £23 a pop 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted October 11, 2021 Outrageous that Leicester want to run a semi final against the SON. It should really not be allowed to go ahead. Change it to Sunday afternoon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do u propose to travel to Leicester from Manchester in time if like me being a Poole fan or indeed if ur a Leicester fan? That's the issue. Doesn't matter if the SON finishes before, well it wud av to finish a gud 3 hours before Leicester starts. As i understand the tv schedule ends at 7pm for the SON which is when Leicester starts. I'll av to see if the Tardis is available! Edited October 11, 2021 by PirateShip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It definitely is being run as I've contacted a Leicester official who I personally know. Unless Ford can get it sorted. When Leicester can run any night of the week it's ironic that they decide to run on the least & worst desirable night this week. Thurs or Fri this week? Fri folk traveling up cud go to Leicester then travel up to Manchester the next day! Certainly wud increase the crowd! Right, I'm gonna get the union in on this!

BrizHeathen 37 Posted October 11, 2021 Its no more outragous than travelling fans trying to get to Poole (and back for work early the next morning) on a mid week October evening. Fair enough during the warmer months when a date is set and when leave can be planned, but an unplanned trip to deepest Dorset in October is a tough one. Just to even things up a little.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Sunday is the more important of the two days so running Saturday is the better option. I couldn't go to Belle Vue so hoping I can make Leicester Saturday and watch the SON on the TV.

So altho Saturday may not be as important it would be s waste of money not to go and attend Leicester. Plus SON accomodation was booked a long time ago so unless u want to waste a shed load of money attending Leicester it is a no go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
