Blimey! So he did, from reserve though, with a lot of 3rd places and a couple of wins against riders you'd probably expect him to beat... fair play to the lad though, he's got time on his side

Not Drew Kemp... I've never seen him have a good meeting, anywhere! I was watching him closely last time I saw him and I don't know why as he seems quite a tidy rider, he seemed quite reluctant to ride any wider than mid track though

How about awarding it to Leicester? We had our home league programme completed by the 24th of July it took Poole until the 18th of August. We had our pay off semi done by the 24th of September, Poole the 2nd of October... everybody has spent all season waiting for Poole, now they have to wait a while for us they don't like it!

Not even the Ford's can control the weather... they can control when their fixtures are run though and prioritisng cup, benefit and football matches over the league and constant jockeying for the 2nd leg is always going to end up badly

Do you know what the initials BSPA stand for?

I don't think it's any coincidence that the only 2 times the 2nd division has run past the end of the official season in its history and both times Poole are involved.... glad we're moving up

This is almost beginning to sound like a half sensible solution, if we are making the rules up as we go along, as we seem to be on this thread, to make it fully sensible, the 1st leg should be null and voided and it could be a winner take all, shoot out final at Oxford

Is it going ahead when they said it would?

You would have hoped that there would have been some kind of statement from somebody in authority about: The PL League Cup Final 2nd leg The CL PO Final 2nd leg The NDL PO Final 2nd leg The Premiership Pairs 6th leg The Jubilee Trophy Final 1st leg The Jubilee Trophy Final 2nd leg matches still being unplayed at the official end of the season and when they are going to be scheduled to be run But as usual... Silence! If Rob Godrey doesn't resign after this omnishambles he never will.

I've been out for a walk this morning, it's over 24 hours since we've had any rain here in Leicester and some of the footpaths are still damp, despite a breeze and sunshine yesterday, so goodness knows what soil/shale is like. It's over a month since the equinox, important meetings should just not be being held at this time of year, it's a simple as that I'm afraid. It doesn't matter how many times you dig the track up and relay it, if it gets rained on there's just not enough time for it to dry at this time of year without a sustained dry period of weather

That was last season though

Easter is a different date every year though. it's simple just don't close the sport down during the summer, that's all that's needed

Yes! This is the thread that just keeps on giving!

They really should pull their fingers out during the 231 day season then

Who "runs" the SCB? Just need a letter to get all the fixtures done then. Not sure why though? To make the winners of a competition legal I presume. Why put the 31st of October straight jacket on yourself though, why not just say until all competitions are complete?

Zero chance of that, they've not been able to run 1 home and 1 away matches this year. I don't get what the deadline is about 31st of October? Is it written into the rules?

Yeah... heats run until a team gets a heat advantage and is declared the winner

It is golden heats, I've just checked the regs

I thought it was a super golden heat(s) if the tie finishes level? What happens if it does? Replay?

A bit of a false dawn

Was gonna say there's a bit of a crowd and some Stewards there

I don't think that was taken today was it?

These are the last home league matches for the pay off qualifiers: Edinburgh: 5th of August Glasgow: 5th of August Leicester: 24th of July!! Plymouth: 30th August (or 11th of October) Poole: 17th of August Redcar: 26th of August

And 2019 when we won the Championship on a dark, damp, blustery Tuesday night in Glasgow at the end of October
