Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 3, 2021 Logistically makes sense for 2 most southern teams and 2 northerns teams to face each other. Financially I'm sure the same as likely to attract more away fans. Chances getting many Edinburgh fans on a hastily arranged midweek October fixture pretty slim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 3, 2021 Sincere Congratulations to Poole in adding another league title to their bulging trophy cabinet. With the league season completed and just a few end of season promoters’ benefit meetings left to contest in wet October, will be interesting to see what will happen in the winter, and what format UK speedway will go for in 2022. well done the Pirates! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole fans don’t think like that. I know fans of other clubs do this but nothing is won until the second leg of the playoff final and we are not even in the final at the moment. All to play for.

Yes, but out of interest if playoffs don't get completed in time does the title revert back to the league leaders. I know I joke about it quite a lot but I'd be interested to know what the rules say, if anyone knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if anyone would pick Leicester? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 4, 2021 Has anyone seen an update on Stefan’s injuries? with this continued lay off waiting for teams to complete fixtures it could be giving us a better change to have Stefan back in the team soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
