Get your turkey sandwiches ready for boxing day because at this rate that's when the final will run

Poole want to ride, glasgow want it off. Homer ref backs home side. Poole riders and management very angry. Lawson totally pi55ed.

After heat 5 finished the two minutes should have been on right away , but no we faff about waiting on the rain to go off by which time the track is unraceable.  Think we were terrified of only being maybe 4 ahead by heat 10

What an absolute joke this sport is! The rain was due, firstly why weren’t the all riders at the start at 6pm? That stinks to end the meeting that way. Starke went in far too hot and came off.

If that’s the criteria then there would be another 30 abandonments per season. 

Who cares I pay to watch speedway not riders just trudging around

Glasgow should forfeit their home leg.  Absolutely ridiculous to call that off especially as the away team were actually losing but wanted to continue 

and no money back for the fans

The referee abandons a meeting, not the home promotion.

I mean Glasgow have obviously played a blinder. Down to potentially 5 riders given Starkey carrying knocks already and a not ideal track. But leaves a bitter taste, why wasn't it earlier start or even Friday night. To hell with BSN coverage if that was the reason!!

It was unsafe the ref called it off

It was unsafe for Glasgow riders, Poole wanted to race.

It's not even raining. This is all because Broc didn't fancy it and Starke thought he was Basso on a baking track in mid June.

I suspect mixed in with a bit of home team not wanting to give away home track advantage, but the referee should see through that. Can't blame teams from trying it on when refs are gullible.

That's not true. Won't be a complete refund, but will get a rain-off ticket.

Decision has been made, get over it and move on.

Quite amusing watching Danny Ford spitting his dummy out

Can't buy off every referee then.
