SharpenRake 1,505 Posted September 4, 2023 A crucial match featuring the two best teams in the league and available on BSN, so Poole fans can watch some proper speedway (I reckon 2 minutes max ). 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May to arrange it lol I don't think there were any Fridays both Oxford and Glasgow had free, or that weren't affected by riders appearing somewhere else. Understandable for both teams to want to be full strength. I think there was one week the teams could do but there were already other events on and it was asking too much of the track staff. That's the other thing we often overlook - some people take time off work to volunteer in order for us to get our fix. They give up a lot, but they still need to earn their living. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why, neither team was at full strength for original running. It's just a pet hate of mine.

Rearranged fixtures depend on full availability while it's just your luck on normal fixtures set at the start of the season. Seems wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teams should have to ride their rearranged fixtures on their alternative race day within 2 weeks whether all the riders are available or not it’s that they adverse to using guests any other time of the season.IMO Edited September 4, 2023 by Fromafar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
