If the Lions have "agreed" to let Poole run the 2nd leg then sadly I am inclined to agree with you that they don't give as much of a toss as the fans or as they should. Obviously the fans would like the second leg but we have no say in whether that happens or not and tomorrows fixture hasn't been postponed yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,224 Posted October 20, 2022 The BSPL have basically been hemmed in by a wet spell of weather forecast for most parts for the next 10 days. Leicester and Poole have enjoyed extra Fixtures to get to the final so a play off benefit. If it's clear both Legs can't be completed in reasonable conditions for riders and supporters then the solution is simple. Award the League Title to the League winners and the Runners Up medals to the League Runners up. It's frankly incredible if that caveat isn't already clearly identified in the BSPL and SCB regulations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially as Michael Fish is a meteorologist, therefore also a 'scientist'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenny Lion 138 Posted October 20, 2022 Much more rain like we are currently having here in Leicester & Saturday will be in severe doubt IMO. No doubt the track will be flooded at this time & with rain not due to cease until early Saturday morning I fear it might be soaked in too deep to do anything to make it raceable.

Happy Hunter 378 Posted October 20, 2022 It will be interesting to see if the Poole riders are as keen to ride on a wet track as they were at Glasgow! Will Richard Lawson be waving his finger at the ref while demanding to be allowed to ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh i think he will as will all the Poole riders, not sure the Poole riders regarded the track as wet though and they certainly seemed to be of the opinion it was raceable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The forecast is good for Leicester on Saturday so hopefully that will give them enough time to sort the track out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
