crazyb Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can't see what's wrong with having the season run into October, as long as the weathers ok. Makes the 'closed season' seem shorter! It's not that long ago that Scunny and Sheffield organised a 'Halloween' meeting to end the season. When was that Rob, 2007 or 2008? Remember getting wrapped up for that one, fireworks also seem better and more appropriate at that time of year rather than the end of August! October, if the weather is OK, is one of the best months, especially at the EofES, when moisture is retained in the track surface. Makes for plenty of passing, which is not something you get a lot of on hard dry surfaces anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Well according to the B.S.P.A website:- PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS - Teams race 24 meetings (12 home, 12 away). The top six then go forward to the play-offs. - The play-offs are split into two groups of three teams. Teams finishing 1st and 2nd after the initial 24 meetings get to choose the two teams they wish to have in their play-off group. A total of a further 4 meetings are then raced in each group (2 home, 2 away). - The winner of each group then race off over two legs in the Grand Final. Winners of the Grand Final are crowned Premier League Champions. That's last years rules, have a look at the 2014 fixture list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Well The White Knight is up in arms about it. They normally means it's a damn good idea, but they just didn't happen to be doing it in 1972. Personally, I have no problem with it. You set the number of fixtures according to what the number of fixtures that the clubs and fans want. All the best Rob I don't normally respond to remarks like this but in this case I will make an exception. The only point I will make is that the 'good ideas' I have railed about on here ie: Double Points, Joker, GP System, National League Riders in the Elite League Play Offs no Yellow/Black Helmet Cover any more (difficult to distinguish between Yellow Cover and White Cover under lights). The Green Helmet Cover which was dropped. I would question whether ANY of these were 'good ideas' and in the INTERESTS of Speedway. IF they are 'Good ideas' - then why are people not flooding back to watch this wonderful new version of Speedway? Wait - I know (though some will pooh pooh it on here). Too many stupid bl**dy Rules and not enough PROMOTION!!! :mad: I hope this helps Lucifer Sam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
