Pirates confirm dates for remaining league fixtures after postponement for World Cup

Pirates confirm dates for remaining league fixtures after postponement for World Cup details how Poole Pirates reshaped Speedway Championship fixtures to avoid a conflict with the England vs Argentina World Cup match. After their meeting against Scunthorpe was postponed, the rescheduled clash moved from Friday, August 7 to Wednesday, August 12 to prevent two home fixtures in the same week. The change was enabled by rearranging the Championship Pairs event at Wimborne Road, which will now be held in September at the request of British Speedway Promoters Limited. Poole’s visit to Berwick remains on the originally planned Championship Pairs date of Saturday, August 8. Additional confirmed away meetings include Oxford and Glasgow on Friday, July 1 and Friday, August 21 respectively. The updated list also includes home and away matches from July 17 through August 26, with the Scunthorpe home leg set for August 12.
