Sienna Ryan Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) With only a month to go till the play off cut off date, this year could have a exciting end to the season with so many teams still in the play off hunt.King's Lynn are through and Poole look like they will have done enough to make it.This then leaves Lakeside, Eastbourne, Coventry and Swindon with only 2 places to fill.A lot may ride on if teams can get all their fixtures done in time (Bees have a login hand) and also rider availability.At present: (12th Sep) SWINDON Finish on 55 POINTS COVENTRY (Completed 29 meetings - have 57 points) Home (4)Poole (Ward?)) Away (2) Belle Vue (to be announced) Total points still available: 7 EASTBOURNE (Completed 30 meetings - have 46 points)AWAY (4)Belle Vue (Blackbird) (Stefan)Belle Vue (Date to be announced)Total points still available: 8 Edited September 12, 2014 by Sienna Ryan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Very close. Coventry have no facility on Friday for MJJ & not many PL 6 riders available which could swing it Lakesides way. However think Bees could still pick up a few away points. Didn't realise how few meetings The other teams had left at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van wolfswinkel Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Close to call..will go KL Poole Cov Swindon...Poole to win Grand Final if Darcia is riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Key for Swindon is 2 of our away matches are winnable and KL away there is a chance of a point. Think we will do it. All along Ive thought we had no chance even if we make it but with Dak going the way he is, Worrall being one of the top reserves and a fresh Killer to come back its raising my expectations! But in reality I know Poole will beat us twice in the semi's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Question is which teams would bring the most to the final home and away Edited August 23, 2014 by mdmc82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sienna Ryan Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Only 4 points now separating 3rd and 6th place with bees having 5 and Eastbourne having 3 meetings in hand on Swindon and Lakeside. those last 2 places are still anybody's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofers Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 A lot could come down to home and away form (as will be the same in the play offs over 2 legs) That's why it would be boring if Eastbourne make play off due to home form again as last couple of years they have been in them, they have been terrible at home without being able to grade due to sky there & shocking away. Oh yeah, when would that be then? The last time Eastbourne were in the finals was 2011, against Poole, and the result was only concluded in heat 14, second leg at Wimborne Road. Try to get your facts right. You really need to reign in your disdain for all things Eastbourne, it shows in so many of your posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion2010 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Coventry, King's Lynn and Poole look head and shoulders above the rest at the moment. Feel who ever joins then from Eastbourne, Lakeside or Swindon would just be making up the numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the most clueless and blinkered poster on here. At least Shovlar knew his stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's Coventry and Eastbourne's to lose now. Lakeside seem to be on the way down after some early season form and Swindon are simply too inconsistent to maintain a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Doesn't really matter which other three teams reach the play offs the title will go to Poole anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
