Pl Play-offs

[scotchopper]

no idea where the minutes are and you can do all the reading you want it won't change anything, sorry.

[BTFC LION]

I stand to be corrected, but I can't see where it says they have to fulfil all the fixtures (not in the regulations anyway) and, to be fair, that is impractical.

 

Along with a lot of BSPA directives (including minutes of the AGM), it probably isn't published.

 

As Leicester Lion says,though, you're clutching at straws here. I agree that all dates should be made public but there's absolutely no doubt that every club has been aware of the cut off point for months.

It says about the fixtures on the official site, click on prem lge table, then read the bottom where it says how the play off's work, that's where it says about 24 meetings. Also click on the prem lge play off table, that also states, The two groups are made up of the teams finishing 1st to 6th after the regular 2013 prem lge season. I am not clutching at any straws at all!! just asking for someone to show me the cut off date in print? If its all true and legal the all the best to all teams in the play off's, the fact that lions were not good enough is fine by me, { sort of, } lol.

When are the groups being picked then??

In about a fortnight ......just to pi$$ Leicester off!!

[TMW]

I am at a loss to understand why a 'ruling' is needed.

 

At the cut off point, Redcar are in 6th place so they go into the play offs.

 

If Leicester appeal the appeal will need to be heard and 'ruled on' even if it's not upheld. It's not difficult is it!!!!

 

Another vagary of Speedway a team gets rewarded for not completing it's fixtures whilst in PO position. I can see this becoming another loophole in the rules to be exploited like so many others.

There is no basis for an appeal but ok lets have one.

Didnt take too long did it.

Still a ruling though !!!!

[ruffdiamond]

am not a fan ov the play offs, in any sport,,, and 'Sir Ernst League' will be turning in his grave, at the thought ov the trusted old system, thats been going along nicely since about 1100 BC, is made a mokery ov by the people ov the future,,, fair enough, its about money and that, but give it a 'new' different name,,, and to get the younger generation a bit more interested, try having a more upto date entertainment system, and not play music that not even their grandparents remember,,, and maybe do away with some ov them wacky speedway coats, (the newer ones don't look too bad like) and maybe simplify the rules,,, just a thought ;-)

When you look at the scenario tonight Doyle ,Barker And Cook(if meeting had not been cancelled )all no1 in there Pl Team missed vital meetings,wonder what will happen in the next few weeks if the EL play-offs are affected by the weather.How can the sport be taken seriously ,Total Mickey Mouse IMO.

[Fozzie4388]

The Picks were made by George English and Rob Godfrey during the rain delay of the PLRC last year.

[Bash]

As long as the premier league matches are already finalised it won't matter about rain affected elite league as original fixtures take priority over rearranged fixtures.

[Arson fire]

If they extend the cut off date then newcastle can still finish 2nd

[justathought]

There is no cut off date.

 

The two groups were made up of the teams placed 1st-6th after the Regular Premier League season.

I think you need to see a doctor Arson.

 

I beleive you may be suffering fron a rare but slowly spreading form of Lionitis! (wink)

[northyorksbear]

Being reported on Redcar forum that it's Somerset, Newcastle & Redcar and Ipswich, Edinburgh & Workington.

[whowasthatberntpersson]

Whatever groups are decided, some travelling to do for Somerset connections. Ipswich must be about the closest and that's a big trip.

[RedcarRacer]

Redcar confirmed this via their Facebook page, dates to follow.

[robert72]

Leicester / Redcar one club has completed all fixtures the other hasn't . Regardless of the points difference . It will be interesting to see the ruling on this from the BSPA.

seems the bspa have put Redcar into the play offs, will you appeal the decision glyn ?

[freddyfivetoes]

Sensible groupings, in that the two Thursday, and two Friday tracks have to be kept apart. Somerset or Newcastle in Final, against Edinburgh or Ipswich?

[lionking]

This seems totally unfair to say Redcar are 6th at the cut of date so should take 6th spot.

 

Their match to be run is at Rye where a 24 point defeat or more puts leicester in the play offs . Redcar lost by 20 in the KOC 2 weeks ago when they were lucky it was only 20 (why wasn't this ran as the PL match with the cut off looming). So to say redcar won't lose by 24 is debateable.

 

If you go head to head Leicester took maximum 7 points off Redcar.

 

If you delete Leicester last match so they have rode equal matches as Redcar . Leicester make the play offs.

 

I await an announcment in next 24 hours

[brewer]

I must admit I have to agree with lionking , leics were Above redcar before losing at Newcastle so to drop below is strange and redcar to go through imo is wrong if the Newcastle v leics match was pp leics would be in 6th. Not too late for scb/bspa to change as has been proven with kl/pboro ruling this week
