rolypolygoly Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Was thinking of travelling the 200 odd miles down to Hoddesden for this one, but as Redcar cant or wont announce their team, I wont bother either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear_Bottom Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just a thought if rye/redcar is called off and not held before cut off date, who goes through, redcar or leicester? It's off...all the ingredients for some classic BSPA decision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I actually now hope monarchs don't make top 2 to avoid Newcastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 It's off...all the ingredients for some classic BSPA decision... No decision to make. Redcar are 6th in the table. They are in the Play-offs. Leicester are 7th in the table. They aren't in the Play-offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Because? http://www.speedwayg.../pltable13.html you could argue that with leicester having scored more race points then they go through The cut off date hasn't been and gone yet. the original question was if its not held before the cut off date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 you could argue that with leicester having scored more race points then they go through It goes on Race Points difference, which is why the League Table shows Redcar in 6th and Leicester 7th. The cut off date hasn't been and gone yet. The re-staging date has been provisionally arranged for 28 Sept. Cut off date is 16 Sept. That's after the cut off, so the current 6th and 7th places won't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar should race b4 the deadline, if they do not then lions last match should be void !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lion Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 well that is a stupid way of doing things!! should all be decided on all things equal. Redcar should race b4 the deadline, if they do not then lions last match should be void !! Using that logic, every team's last match should be void. But even that wouldn't be equal as some teams' last matches are easier than others. As much as I hate the play-offs as a way to decide the winners of a league season, we all know the rules at the start. If we hadn't dropped so many home points we would have made the play-offs on our own merit rather than hoping for other teams' results to go our way and for matches to not fall victim to the weather.

They aren't in the Play-offs. Don't talk like an idiot, Leicester have had a meeting more than Redcar. They will extend the cut off date as simple as that.

As the Lions have had one more match than the bears they have had the opportunity to score 3 or 4 points more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they would be in front of the 'Bears' if they had done better wouldn't they? :blink: As you say - they have had MORE chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Id say an extension of the cut off is logical so long as its practical and timely. ie can it be run in say the next 3-5 days. After that it would severely interfere with the planning of the play off dates. If that timesale is not possible or indeed it is felt that any extension would cause planning problems then its bye bye Leicester however harsh that may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
