Scunthorpe win protest - but league title still given to Poole

SPEEDWAY CONTROL BUREAU STATEMENT:

Following the 2nd Leg of the Championship Play Off Final on Wednesday 7th October 2026 between Poole and Scunthorpe, the Scunthorpe club lodged an appeal against the decision of the result of the Super Heat, where it was alleged that Poole Rider Zach Cook had breached SCB Regulation –

• 012.1.11 Leaving the Track

A rider whose machine crosses the inner edge of the track with 2 wheels must be disqualified unless, in the opinion of the Referee, the action was taken in the interests of safety for other riders or the rider involved was forced off course by another rider.

Having reviewed the regulation as written, this has been breached, however due to the result being announced this was now a Statement of Fact and any appeal is admissible as per SCB Regulation 018.1.2 a)

Therefore, the result stands as declared, and the Scunthorpe Promotion have accepted the decision.
