Just realised how this ruling could fail, Scunthorpe vs Birmingham cancelled - then Pearson swaps teams, but for the re-staging he'd have to swap teams again for one night lol!

Sticking with the Shovelar logic, because Leicester decided to move up a league, they should forfeit the trophy. Plus Poole would've won by loads anyways so it's not like they're stealing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted August 8, 2023 If it isn’t going to happen then it should be announced. Staging it a season late was a shambles in the first place. To sweep it under the rug is unforgivable. Imagine the FA Cup final wasn’t played and the FA kicked the can down the road a little way before dropping it altogether and just hoping nobody noticed. Make an announcement. Stop treating your supporters like mushrooms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,043 Posted August 13, 2023 If they turned this final into a Nigel Pearson memorial & tried to raise money for the Ben Fund, something I'm sure Nigel would have been keen on (& his family happy with) do you think the riders & clubs would make an effort put it on out of respect for Nige?

That would be very Speedway. How shall we get it done in a way to stop people complaining? We’ll stick a dead man’s name on the trophy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about a "Guest Queen" getting booked? Queen Silvia of Sweden is available.... Done 47 years too, so her average is lower, meaning she fits... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
