Hopefully something good will come out of this whole debacle and Play Off meeting will be arranged far, far earlier next season.

I share your hope, can't see anything changing though unfortunately

Whoever made these arrangements, and I don't care if it was Poole or Leicester, really should be asking themselves why the pay off finals were not held sooner. I was shocked when I saw that Poole were riding in the KO Cup on Wednesday the 12th and the Cubs were riding at BP on Saturday the 15th... Why?!?

I don't know but what I do know is that the whole play-off fixtures have been protracted from the get-go through nobody's fault just the weather.

To begin with both the original stagings of the play-off quarter finals were rained off  home and away. It then took Poole three goes before they managed to complete the away leg at Plymouth then a further three to get past Glasgow in the semi. I expect the KO cup fixture against Redcar had already been scheduled by then so, with over half of October left, it would be assumed there shouldn't have been any difficulty in getting the final legs completed. However, if the first leg against Leicester had been run on the 12th, the KO Cup would now be in a similar position ie., not completed.

So the one who insisted that Poole had to have choice when they raced Plymouth in the QF as Poole finished higher now changes his tune. 

Forum pillock Slovler. 

For factual reference. 

Leicester are League Champions, clear winners of the Championship League. 

They therefore carry priority to decide who has first pick in Play Off finals and are under no requirement to forgo that. 

If Poole hadn't put testomonial before League and Play Off this situation would not have occurred. 

If the Play Off cannot be completed Leicester are Champions based on League positions. Morally, ethically, pragmatically. 

Every club comes to the tapes knowing whoever wins the playoffs are champions, so if Leicester can't run there leg, then I'm afraid that makes Poole champions

The track guy has already explained in detail the extraordinary lengths they've gone to in order to remove huge amounts of water from the drains. 

Locals have confirmed that it's rained pretty much every day for about 2 weeks. 

 

Cool your stooshie, the word is "ironic"!

Should have been switched to a neutral track then! It's not as if the Bates family don't have previous experience is it?
