Starman2006 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Taken from speedwayGB site teams and groups have been announced for the Premier League play-offs. As follows: GROUP 1 Newcastle Leicester Somerset GROUP 2 Edinburgh Scunthorpe Workington The teams in each group will ride against each other home and away (total 4 meetings). The winners of each group will then contest the Grand Final over two legs. The winner of the Grand Final will be declared 2012 Premier League Champions. Providing Somerset have a full and fit team, they have a great chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I still can not grasp why the hell we picked leicester and somerset/ Leicester and Somerset must rate as the best chance of away points....assuming we win at home, we are crap at Armadale and worky are good at Brough...plus the chance to do double headers v Somerset I suppose...time will tell but it's going to be a massive ask with using r/r in double headers....one injury and it's bye bye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTLAND1314 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 In your dreams It's going to be a Scunny vs Newcastle/Somerset final All the best Rob I didn't realise, until later today, that Scunny wanted to avoid The Mighty Monarchs as well.....interesting.

scunny1 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 First pick Worky? Monarchs an easier tie in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I didn't realise, until later today, that Scunny wanted to avoid The Mighty Monarchs as well.....interesting. Not really. Rob Godfrey realised all along Newcastle wouldn't pick you guys, so there was no point in selecting you until the final choice.

IronScorpion Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 After the meeting had finished on friday, i went to the pits to voice my concerns over the play-offs. I mentioned that if Newcastle picked Leicester, we picked Edinburgh, they picked Workington & that left Somerset - 3 friday teams with longest to travel. He said we needed to finish top to pick Leicester for travel & away support but if Newcastle picked Leicester, which he expected, we would go for Worky. All meetings against any in the top 6 would be hard, irrespective wether injured riders were getting back to fitness, ie; Howarth, Roynon, Cook & Tabaka.

lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Just noticed that the Edinburgh v Workington play-off match is on Friday, October 19th. Surely this is too late for a group match? I notice Somerest have October 19th as their reserved date for the final if they get through. Surely there needs to be a deadline before October 19th for the group matches? All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Why ? last weekend in October Fri 26th-Sun 28th is going to be lovely weather plus british summer time ends at 1am on Sun 28th I wish I shared your faith in the British weather It is risky, though. If group matches are still being staged on the weekend of Oct 19th-21st, the earliest the finals will take place is the following weekend i.e the last weekend of the season. Depending on the tracks involved in the final, some of which have other use / planning resrictions, it may be one and only one shot to stage their leg of the final.
