FIXTURE UPDATE

With the Government confirming today in the House of Commons that any relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions, prior to the target date of 19th July, would not be happening, Poole Speedway has moved to postpone their home fixture against Glasgow scheduled for Wednesday July 14th.

It means that after this week's fixture (against Kent) there will be no further speedway at Wimborne Road until the club's second leg KO Cup match against Plymouth on Wednesday July 21st at the earliest.

Club owner Matt Ford said, "It is always disappointing to postpone meetings but we find ourselves in a position of having to do so. We know that crowd levels under the Covid-19 restrictions are not sustainable, but also we want to give all of our fans the opportunity to attend live racing. In agreement with the Glasgow promotion we have taken this action now that it is clear that our faint hopes have been dashed for a gradual easing of restrictions under the Covid-19 measures.

"I can only encourage supporters who have yet purchased tickets for Wednesday night to do so without delay, whilst there is still availability, as it will be a long three weeks without a home meeting."
