End of August is fine... clubs just need to prioritise running the pay offs and they need to be cut down from top 6 to top 3 imo

I share your hope, can't see anything changing though unfortunately

The finalists have been known since the 2nd of October, Poole were either not riding or riding in the Cup and Leicester were holding Cubs matches. Why?

So Poole should have run on the 12th then

Whoever made these arrangements, and I don't care if it was Poole or Leicester, really should be asking themselves why the pay off finals were not held sooner. I was shocked when I saw that Poole were riding in the KO Cup on Wednesday the 12th and the Cubs were riding at BP on Saturday the 15th... Why?!?

Are you Middlo in disguise? Do you not know anybody from up t'North you can send instead?

The irony is that the week before all this started was remarkably nice and dry... but you guys were riding in the KO Cup final

Not at the end of October when there has been heavy torrential rain every day for a couple of hours.

Rain has stopped, don't know how much there was as I was in my pit... could hear it around 6 am though. Forecast says possibly another shower at 11am. Depends how much the track dried out yesterday... which was a really nice day for drying

All they needed was a programme, the rules were printed in there weren't they? People were quoting them on here.

Correct... Mildenhall in name only though, I think they've run out of riders

If he goes well in the pay offs you may even want him back next year!

Possibly? Does he think he might be turning out for the Wolves in the pairs?

Keep up the good work! The track has been the best it's ever been this season! Whatever happens tomorrow I think you've all done a grand job in very difficult circumstances at the worst time of the Speedway season

No mention of the Jubilee Trophy I note

Good news! The sun has got his hat on again, warm sunshine and a stiff breeze and it's drying up very nicely thank you very much... this may yet go ahead tomorrow

People were saying that on here! But of course we're just keyboard warriors!

Dates are easily moved... hell they've even altered the number of teams actually involved in the play-offs mid season before! We all know that those running the sport cannot be trusted to do so in its best interests

Post Jubilee Trophy?

Historically a lot of Aussies have cleared off back to their homeland as soon as their last scheduled fixture has been completed... sometimes before! Same may apply to Nick... if so guests would be used, that's hardly new, especially in recent seasons

It's on until it's off... we all know what weather forecasts are like, they can be way off. There is rain forecast for tomorrow morning to have cleared by 11am. One assumes they think that after the work that may be going on today they think they can have it ready by tomorrow evening, whether that will be the case or not remains to be seen

Nobody is ever going to want to take that decision on! It's laughable all these Poole fans coming up with wild fantasy scenarios... Leicester will hold the 2nd leg on their own track, when it is in a fit condition after a period of dry weather, end of! Personally I don't see what the rush is, I know Poole will want their Aussies to be there, it's really up to them to make sure they are.

Like a Michael Masi? That's just what our sport needs!

4th of November was "reasonable" last year

Precedent suggests we run into November... like Poole last year and Sheffield this year
