Arson fire Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 So how was it handed to Scunthorpe on a plate???? We completed our fixtures, were Workington likely to win at Edinburgh?? No!! I would have preferred it if all the fixtures had been completed, but due to circumstances they werent, what would your solution be?? Your hatred of everything associated with Scunthorpe is getting very boring" so what if Scunny completed their fixtures?? Others never, let's not hope Somerset win the first leg of the final and then all the 2nd leg staging dates are rained off, you'd understand that Somerset were champs It wasnt in scunnys hands, if worky had won at Edinbugh they'd be in the final, I understand what you say but they haven't had the chance and it stinks....it's not some testimonial, it's the league champions at stake..worky had a fine chance of going to Armadale and winning IMO given the 2 teams, but well never know which is daft given they have raced all season for one goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoni Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I also wish all the fixtures had been completed, but what do you suggest the solution should have been? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Makes speedway a joke , complete farce, rain to blame, my backside . If your face fits you're ok. Next season lets hope they change things on the board , Elite managers should sort the Premier League issues and vice versa , best wishes to Somerset who got to the final properly and not handed on a plate Face fitting obviously is an expression you've just heard & want to keep repeating, but c'mon on then suggest an alternative - ANY alternative - other than running through to the back end of November or longer.

Well said AF, nothing to do with having anything against Scunny, as you say this is for the League title ( well not really because Newcastle won that) but whatever it was for we deserved a chance to run our final fixture. I am sure if the shoe was on the other foot Scunny fans would feel the same and rightly so. Just makes a mockery of the play-offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon then, suggest ANYTHING as an alternative. Newcastle didn't win the league by the way, take off your bobble hat, join the 21st Century & you'll see that they were eliminated.

Arson fire Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I also wish all the fixtures had been completed, but what do you suggest the solution should have been? ....I can't believe if both teams could qualify for the final then this wouldn't be restaged,....they should pull out all the stops, the Bspa should pull out all the stops to extend season as long as it takes....to compete all year to win a league only to then just give it away is the daftest thing ever. If Scunny get beat next fri, then all re staging dates for 2nd leg are rained off....will you believe Somerset as the champs??....what if all legs are rained off...will we have no champs??...it's stupid....no matter how you dress it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Was a rerun offered to Workington? If it was and it was turned down then fair enough, I don't think it was though. They should have tried to run the meeting, Edinburgh would probably have won but it would have been decided on the TRACK. I hope lessons are learned from this, but as it's the BPSA who knows.

Backless Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 When are you going to run the meeting(s) then? Give me a date when the meeting & subsequent meetings could be run? If it's a case of "pulling out the stops", which stops do you want pulling out? Edinburgh have Fridays & Saturdays - so that would stop the final going ahead at Somerset. Unless you're suggesting that Planning Premission should be sought to run on another day? Make a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets hope after the 1st leg it pours down all weekend and Somerset are crowned champs.Would scunny fans agree with that ...yeah I think not. This was the grand final for the league title and whether Workington and Scunthorpe had raced their fixtures no one can tell what would have happened at Edinburgh. No matter how you look at it its wrong . I hope Somerset do get it they got there on merit, properly, not some farce of decision from the joke that is the BSPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're suggesting that Planning Premission should be sought to run on another day? Make a suggestion. But surely the final cant go ahead without completing the play offs...( oh it can )apply to the relevant body's to extend the season, liaise with the council, insurance people of whoever. It's not rocket science.How come worky v Berwick must be completed but not others?? The sport is a joke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 If Edinburgh couldn't stage it then worky should get a 4 point win...simples....just the same as worky couldn't fulfil the LC semi....Ippo went through.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Can't think of another sport where teams don't fullfill ALL of their fixtures....only in speedway run the bloody season until its complete!! Not this time frame bollocks.... What are the reasons this can't be done?? Edited October 21, 2012 by Arson fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Now Now Davidj didn't your Mam and Dad tell you never to feed a troll So you can cope with playing with your pikey mates / extended family, but when it comes to a reasonable question like "when do you suggest that the Edinburgh v Workington Play Off Group Match should be rearranged" you can't conjure up a reply.
