Poole 2026


Recommended Posts

Stupid decision. The game will be over by 7. Open early at kick off and let fans in the bar to watch the match on a big screen.  This shows you the promoters who run speedway have no clue 2 short planks springs to mind.

I never watched one Scotland game with Steve Clarke in charge, he.would struggle to motivate an illegal  migrant  to apply for benefits such was his lack off motivational skills.

There's no benefit money left for the immigrants after the lazy white british claimants have filled their pockets

That noise u can hear is Ian thomas spinning in his grave!

But I think good old Mr Thomas would have cancelled a meeting if a clash like this happened in his day, especially the last era

It says match starts at 5pm? Be over by the time speedway would start. 

You obviously think everyone transports around like in Star Trek.

Why not ask your teams promotion what they would do if the fixture was at Poole, my guess is they'd do exactly the same. Look at your esteemed fellow fan Mr Shovlar, he moans about clashes when AFCB are playing.

Well they could invite people to the track early so they could watch the game prior to the meeting.

I'm sure they have considered various permutations, as i said in my earlier reply, ask your promoter what would they do if they were the hometeam.

I think our promotion would probably have done what Oxford have done although there are far more pubs within walking distance of Poole stadium than Oxford which could be a factor in their decision.

Well England play at 5pm so I wouldn’t have coming on Wednesday to Oxford as I want to watch the match (probably suffer it) with friends. Would have bought the stream for the meeting instead.  
 

Totally the right call to postpone.

Then i would still moan about it. Could understand it if it was 8 or 9pm kick off. But no way will it go to penalties imo.

Oxford v Poole is off on Wednesday because of the football 

September 2nd is the next available Wednesday when neither Oxford or Poole have a match.

Is there a cut-off date ahead of the play-offs?

Do they have an "off racenight"?

Oxford  have used Sunday before, but then Poland and rider availability comes into the equation

As far as I can tell the only available racenights are:

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Take out:

Sunday - Poland (Cook, Masters, Lawson, McDiarmid, Rushen, Cairns)

Mon & Thur - Prem.

Fri - between Poland and all the Friday Champ fixtures not easy

Sat: doubt Jamie would want to have Oxford and Berwick running together

Tues - no Swedish clashes, but four riders have Polish under 24 teams. However Polish under 24 league is all but done by end of July.

So maybe a Tuesday in August?
