I think they remove them after the meetings ...Maybe not though according to @False dawn

7's a bit much these days for Tai

Just run into November... the precedent has been set

Surely we can only be a short number of hours away from the usual suspect(s) telling us that it's hammering down in Poole and there's no way the meeting could have gone ahead

It was in trouble before that imo... when they changed the name without telling anybody, pretending that it had always been called the Jubilee Trophy

Such royalists... I don't think Glasgow even marked the Queen's passing! They should just front up... no need to bring the Queen's death into it at all, sick!

I think it's pretty sick to bring the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II into the "excuses" for pulling out, I thought Glasgow were better than that. They've already renamed the trophy once, they should have just renamed it to the Queen Elizabeth trophy and got on with it. There is now doubt that any competition that Glasgow are involved in the future that they'll just take their ball home if they don't like the name of it. Pathetic really!

Doesn't really matter what you say, if you can get the opinion of an SCB referee that'll do me We know the Poole riders like a wet track because they were SO keen to keep riding at Glasgow. Poole never had ANY intention of riding the 1st leg

We'll never ever know

The thing is we'll never ever know now will we... because Poole can't be bothered to even try to get the meeting on, they're just happy they've got the 2nd leg (at the moment)

Well, all you Pirates, your wishes have come true, you've got your 2nd leg, a clear advantage. Why in the world the Leicester promotion agreed to this is beyond me, it's almost as if they don't care, if they don't... why should any Leicester fan?

Award it to Poole

It is clearly jockeying from the fans perspective or else there wouldn't have been hundreds of pages on the vs Plymouth, vs Glasgow and now vs Leicester threads going on about the topic. If the Lions have "agreed" to let Poole run the 2nd leg then sadly I am inclined to agree with you that they don't give as much of a toss as the fans or as they should.

Let's be honest all this weather talk from the Pirates fans is about having the 2nd leg so they can have the advantage of holding any "golden heats" on their home track if they are required. Golden heats should never be used to decide a Championship and would make a mockery of the sport (again) if they were. A simpler solution would be to say that in the event of a draw then the team that won the league are crowned champions, everybody knows where they stand and there's no need for the constant jockeying from Poole to get the 2nd leg.

Something like a 5 year plan you mean? Now there's an idea

The riders? You really should pay em more

Something to do with Poole staff & fans preferring PL Football to CL Speedway...

Have you got a TARDIS? Are you the new Dr Who?

you're riding elsewhere? Fulfilling a fixture that has long been scheduled?

1st leg should have been held tonight, Poole's traditional race night, the night they "had" to race, the race night they relegated themselves for... just because nobody wants to watch them and watch the footy instead should not be a reason to not stage this leg tonight

What a stupid comment, especially from somebody that has lost their club this year smh

Is this the first round of the 2023 competition? Good thinking BSPL, getting ahead of themselves to save fixture congestion for next year!

Fickle lot those Pirate fans!

Remind me why this isn't being run on Wednesday please

Oh great... pages of talk about the weather, just what everybody wanted
