It really should be a case of See You Next Tuesday. Plymouth Tuesday, Poole the following night. No reason why not. It should be a great couple of meetings. Both clubs have injuries. Hans and Steve Worrall suffering injuries at the moment. 

Do Poole go with a guest or R/R? Or will Steve declare himself fit to ride? 

Because Plymouth are racing Glasgow in a league fixture

Plymouth have until the end of October to stage this meeting so there's plenty of time, though the teams may be a bit unusual by then, plenty of guests.

Glasgow fans may have booked time off work, hotels etc. Albeit likely not many. No reason to move the fixture as there's still plenty of time to race to remaining fixtures.

Well at least Hans hasn't broken anything. After hospital check they said all they could find was heavy bruising.

Forecast for Plymouth next Tuesday is a few light afternoon showers. Not enough to stop a meeting going ahead.

Plymouth do not have until the end of October to fit in the Poole quarter final. There are semis and. Final to be run afterwards, whether Plymouth or Poole are in it.  They cannot delay the inevitable and have to run it.

I think they meant they have til the end of October to do the Glasgow fixture!

Not the first time you've concocted weather forecasts

Google Plymouth weather 

100% continual sometimes heavy rain Saturday

90% same forecast for Sunday and Monday and Tuesday

Remarkably similar to Poole. 

Might be light rain for a bit on the afternoon but 96 hours of continual rain forecast to precede it. 

A sensible promotion probably call it Monday morning save printing programmes

If Poole end up struggling to fit in fixtures before the end of October, blame Scunthorpe / Leicester. KOC QF postponed in May, not re-arranged until September!

Why should Plymouth & Glasgow have to re-arrange a fixture when other clubs seem happy to cause a potential fixture pile-up?

We are now into September and as It’s been demonstrated that Plymouth are incapable of running a meeting unless they get a few days of dry weather they might as well call it now, forfeit the home leg and jump to the second at a track where they can get meetings on in less than favourable conditions.

Pathetic comments from Mark Phillips in this weeks Star.

The concerning thing is this year has been one of the driest in history and Plymouth haven't been able to complete their fixtures before the cut off. What if it had been a really wet summer? The promotion probably need to think very carefully about fixture planning, if necessary they should drop their NL team to free up space.
