POSTPONED: PIRATES PLAY-OFF AGAINST BEARS OFF UNTIL 16TH SEPTEMBER

Tonight's hopes of launching the SCB Cab Direct Championship play-offs have been foiled,  with an adverse weather forecast prompting an early call.

The scheduled meeting between the Wessex Marine Pirates and the Redcar 'Agilia' Bears has been postponed with heavy rain predicted for the area in the forecast.

Poole promoter Dan Ford expressed his disappointment in having to make the early decision "it is very frustrating having to make the decision but we have done so in the interests of trying to avoid any inconvenience to the paying public. This is a big meeting for both sides and it is deserving to be staged on a raceable surface which, unfortunately, with the track already having suffered a lot of rain in recent days would not be possible given that heavy rain is expected throughout the evening."
"The intention is to re-stage this meeting next Tuesday - September 16th, as for the next two Wednesday nights either Redcar or ourselves will be riding at Oxford. Any tickets purchased for tonight's meeting will carry over to next week, or can be refunded upon application to the speedway office - email info@poole-speedway.com.
