Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 The statement from the BSPA today confirms Mildenhall have withdrawn from the NL (and NT) and their results expunged.. They HAVE updated the league table and it looks now like this: 1 Newport 13 7 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 2 644 527 30 2 Dudley 12 5 0 0 0 2 1 0 3 1 600 503 29 3 Buxton 13 5 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 4 633 550 28 4 Bournemouth 13 5 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 4 611 575 25 5 Rye House 10 3 1 0 1 2 1 0 0 2 483 429 22 6 Plymouth 14 6 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 6 667 628 20 7 Isle of Wight 14 5 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 7 593 681 15 8 King's Lynn 13 3 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 7 556 645 11 9 Weymouth 13 3 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 5 539 656 10 10 Scunthorpe 13 3 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 7 529 661 10 So the battle for the 4th. place in the play-offs now looks between the Buccs and Rye House with Plymouth in the mix too...

greyhoundp Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Indeed the battle for the wooden spoon looks interesting to, as does the position of top spot. Dudley have there last two away fixtures coming up next week, away to the IOW, and the next night away to the Buccs, so if we can take four points from those two meetings in total which will not be easy, it should make for a very interesting run in, with home meetings to come against Rye and Newport. To sum up,its in our own hands and if we could manage a win at either IOW or Bournemouth, i will be happy, anything else is a bonus.

But I do agree it'll be a very close encounter! Should be a cracker!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st century heathen Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 http://www.british-speedway.co.uk/news.php?extend.8331 ------------------------------------------------------- Heartbreaking for Mildenhall. My very best wishes for next season and the long term future. ------------------------------------------------------- The table is certainly tight in the right areas which should make for a lively end to the season. There's a 3-way battle at the top with the Heathens having the right balance of meetings in hand (on paper). Newport are looking very strong and have a point advantage but away meetings to catch up on compared to Heathens and Buxton. Buxton are just a couple of points off the top but have raced one more at home than the Heathens. They are certainly well placed to capitalise if either of the top two slip up though. Bournemouth have points on the board for 4th but there could yet be a challenge from Rye as they have 3 meetings in hand to make up the 6 point gap. Plymouth have raced more than both but are well placed, rather like Buxton, to make the most of any slip ups by the clubs around them. Finally, I can see a 4-way battle at the bottom continuing a little longer. IOW hold a slight points advantage but have raced one more than the 3 below them so could easily get 'sucked' back towards the bottom end, particularly if/when those 3 strengthen.

heathen79 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Regarding the top four positions for the playoffs, am I correct in assuming that the first placed team chooses their opposition from the next three finishers. But that there is no advantage to be gained for finishing second, compared to third or fourth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
