Or postponed it? What's the rush anyway? We all know the final of the Summer Trophy won't be until the autumn and since when did Poole ride on a Friday? They've been going on for the last few seasons how it had to be Wednesday's... and there'll be no clash with Birmingham being the other Wednesday track as their last match is August the 10th Edited July 29, 2022 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's what the Brummies are doing on their Social Media posts. One thing's for certain, one way or another, it will absolutely live up to that billing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,024 Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Fair enough about Middlo's testimonial, but really this match should not be going ahead tonight (as an "official" fixture), it makes a complete mockery of the sport and i think, correct me if I'm wrong, sets a new precedent on how many riders is acceptable to make a team Edited July 29, 2022 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
