Good point. But the gospel according to Lisa Colette then decrees that Poole v Glasgow is wiped from the records last season, since it happened on November 4th and Glasgow v Poole had already occurred on November 2nd. Glasgow therefore won the league 50-40 from the only staged leg. Do you want to change your mind about this one?

Why don't we just call the League Champions the team who get the most league points. Playoffs can just be a little tournament to keep interest in the top teams until season ends. Is that just too easy for all to comprehend?

It looks like Buster has worked his magic and got the track back into shape! Think he will be required on Friday too to stop any last-minute issues depending on amount of rain over next 4 days! So, will Howarth be available now and will Morris be in the side?

It ain't great from the Leicester promotion is it... If you say "Details of a re-staging date for this week will follow later today.", yesterday and then just put nothing else out, not even change it to Details of a re-staging date for this week will follow in due course, it just makes an already bad situation worse imo

I love that. Especially with Robert: “thanks we’re given for their assistance”. It was a bit more than that, wasn’t it? “Thanks for coming in as a ringer on an out-dated average and winning us the league. And more thanks for b***ering off after only three meetings to save us some cash”!

Day after day, week after week, year after year, irrespective of league they are in these arrogant idiots are at it. The sooner the Barrett helicopter is spotted over Wimborne Road and the New Estate footings go in the better for the Sport in the UK Free of these insufferable serial cheats and their arrogance. Good riddence when it comes. I miss great rivals like Cradley and Coventry who were bitter rivals but they earned respect as did their supporters. Not Poole.. Hated for what they are. Arrogant cheats.

And they are here to stay as most if the time they can actually ensure clubs stay in the black and even make a good profit.

When the Payoff's were introduced for the 2006 season. that was the time for me to walk away from the sport I watched since 1964, the League Champions should the team who has the most points at the end of all League Matches, not just the ones tagged onto the end. I have kept an eye on things as the years have passed and nothing has happened to make me regret that decision, my general health is so bad now stops me even thinking of returning and I not surprised that attendances are dropping every year.

I’m not sure it matters though does it? The situation has been clarified by both sides. Glasgow felt the track conditions were deteriorating and that although it might be rideable it wasn’t raceable. Poole were happy to continue. The referee agreed with Glasgow. Poole were disappointed but not deflated given the scores when the two legs were staged. My opinion, note the word opinion, was that Glasgow were always going to be beaten on aggregate. Running r/r for Ostergaard, losing Hume to injury, having Tom Brennan in the middle of a flat out run of meetings and with Craig Cook being less than at his best, certainly hindered them especially up against a team with an unchanged all season 1-7 and arguably the best team spirit in the league. It therefore follows - opinion again - that Glasgow should have continued the meeting at Ashfield rather than incurring the cost of restaging.

If you were a sponsor or whatever you are at my club I would take a very dim view of the stuff you come out with on here.

I’m dumbfounded even after fishing trip and whoppers are mentioned they still take a giant sized bite. Hilarious.

So, Friday it is then. 7.00pm start for a double header. Hmm…. hope they have allowed for a sun break and ………watering the track!

Sad confused and bitter. As for wishing a club to close that's just plain stupid and out of order. We're quite used to the jealous, envy and hate - it comes with a fair degree of success. Ask any speedway promoter if their attendance increases when Poole visit. It's a Yes from me ... and them.

Surprise Surprise a Poole fan trying to be funny, you must of went to the same school of comedy as skids.

Harris will be checking over his bikes(just in case).

As long as no rain on Friday then it should be good to go as there will be no dirt on the track to get waterlogged until the day of the meeting, That is the plan I am led to believe once they have taken it all off to the stone/concrete base any water should just run off and be brushed away during the week.

I would say only if we can swap them for.... But you don't have anyone I want in the Poole team haha.

I would have thought it was fairly obvious, the less matches that count the more GSA can be manipulated.

PC spent all day Saturday back at Retro Towers signing lots more copies, and we have hired extra staff to catch up the backlog. We've already made two trips to the Glossop post office sorting depot this morning with numerous sack-loads of books. Thanks for your continued patience.

But is that a rule, a policy, a guideline or an aspiration?

Simon, Jake, MPT & Robert weren’t there but thanks were given for their assistance when required for our injury woes.

No he tripped over a money bag and sprained his ankle

It should be simple but the people who run British speedway make it seem incredibly complicated. I think they have proved beyond doubt that they are not fit for purpose, unless of course their purpose is to run our sport into the ground as far as they can.

No ,apparently wasn’t offered enough cash

Need to have the League and Play-Off Matches done & end Sep or 1st week Oct latest ( plus Play-Offs only involving the top four teams - not top six - ridiculous that a team finishing in 6th place can still win the Play-Offs and therefore be crowned Champions ) As for the Jubilee Trophy or any other Mickey Mouse competition ( no disrespect intended to Her Majesty I hasten to add! ) - nobody - fans, riders, managers - cares as they are just glorified Challenge Matches and should be restricted to just one or two meets at the beginning of the season or as fixture fillers if needed during the year. Just my opinion anyways

Here you go then "Poole are adamant that the lengthy wait for the 2nd leg of their Grand Final has had "no impact" on their riders" @SocialSpeedway

Poole held the first leg and won 49-41. If Leicester can't hold the second leg, they should forfeit the tie and Poole be crowned Champions. I don't agree with the Play-offs and I think whoever tops the League at the end of the season should be Champions, but I believe they are here to stay. They quite simply should start the Play-offs earlier. Hoping fans turn out in what is usualy cold damp conditions is ridiculous (especially when you consider a lot of fans are of an older generation).

Due to the fact the weather has made a complete farce of the playoffs,surely the team that scored the most points over the season finishing 6pts above 2nd and 7pts above 3rd should be crowned champions

Gotta give others a chance

Why? There is absolutely no correlation between the 2 events, Belle Vue & Sheffield fulfilled their commitments to the play-offs, it was won on the track. You don't half post some rubbish, honestly you do.

Fantastic information stewmac, thank you so much, its appreciated. I decided to go for the the whole event so I'm there Tuesday - Monday. Four meetings in just a few days was too good to pass up. Thanks again, I'm off to check out the water park and sauna you mentioned. Ps I am indeed an Edinburgh fan.

Probably a leaky roof lol

What happens when they take them off and it's still raining ?

It’s not Professional but that’s how the sport is run the majority of the time.

Everyone is in it to win it, what would be the point otherwise, Poole just happen to be good at it

Can’t disagree with that, as it turned out it was all rather too easy for Poole.

And this conclusion was arrived at how. Of course he was contrary to what you think.

The only person not 'in charge' at Glasgow was the referee!!

Jordan Palin returns!

Is there not a cut off date in the rule book as well? Of course they do, they get the biggest prize of all... Their fans get to gloat on this meaningless forum for the rest of the year... What could be better than that... For the resident trolls anyway

They are going to ask Noah.He seems to to the expert on the matter and managed to solve it.

That’s getting postponed aswell

You do realise that the referee cancelled the meeting. I suggest you change that remark from Glasgow to the Referee in charge at Glasgow.

Doubt it.

Leicester scored 7pts more than Poole. Simple really!

Only if it’s not Poole for you then.!!

As it has been stated before; you cannot do the work suggested when it is pouring with rain. BSFC and Stewart (on BSN) explained trhe situation: they were taking water off the circuit as quick as they could but there had been rain for several days.

Too far.

Why NSS all the time !! it should be run at Ipswich so that the team that has won the pairs can be presented with the trophy in front of there own fans
