As for tomorrow, its not a challenge. Every team in the league participated and so its no different to the k o cup. Just a shame leicester couldnt get their act together last season. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely laughable Imagine being that desperate to win something you pin your hopes on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Wednesday is forecast to be a dry day in Poole. Looking forward to another meeting! That was where the final was originally scheduled to be. A three team final between Leicester, Poole and Glasgow in September 2022. Not far for Leicester and certainly more convenient for Poole and Glasgow fans to get to than travelling to than each others track. Took me 10 hours to drive to Poole for playoff final, could drive to Sheffield and back in less time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certain councils in Britain are not interested in saving what they see as British 'legacy culture' which is why every sport except football is being allowed to die (rugby League, speedway etc). The cultural landscape is being reshapeed purposefully to better suit the newer cultures who have no real interest in the old ones. I know what i am saying may be controversial but go take a glance around your local speedway stadium next time you're there and look at the demographics of the spectators and you will see what i am alluding to, especially if you also understand the demographics of Poland and then factor in their country's relationship to speedway and how well it is doing there. In many cities there are no new generations who are being brought up like we were or even being raised in the same cultural environment. I've been saying this for the past few years and everybody looks at me like i've fallen from Mars but speedway won't exist in Britain within the next 30 years when the indigenous cultures are all but gone no matter how much it bids to appeal to the newer ones. Enjoy British speedway whilst it lasts as it certainly won't be around forever. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,140 Posted October 24, 2023 Oh dear god I’ve read it all now Shovlar trying not only to big this meeting up as important….. when nobody even Leicester fans care as it’s not worth a thing ….. but then he says ‘2 evenly matched teams’ ….. with Leicester slightly stronger!! The man is deluded or a child With the exception of Harris Leicester have no chance at all and are weaker in pretty much every area….. Cook against Hume is for one quite laughable Poole will hit at least 55….. How any Poole fan would part with money to go watch this is beyond me Well done Shovlar you will get one prize this season and no doubt we will get race by race commentary and a match report and how amazing it is to win a trophy Poole , just like my team Ipswich , choked when it mattered ….. winning a tin pot trophy against an extremely weak opponent will gloss over nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
