lucifer sam Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) The opening match of Group B of the play-offs. Ipswich will want to start with a home win, while Scunthorpe will be on the trail of away points. All the best Rob Edited September 16, 2014 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Bit early for this one but I will chip in and say a decent size home win is on the cards. Whether it will be enough to make a difference in the grand scheme of things is another matter. I'm sure The Rebels will rack up a couple of huge home wins in this group which will probably make all other results irrelevant. However, we can always live in hope!

Roland Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 We didn't do too bad down there in KOC (got to 41 I think?), I know it was all over by then but could be the same again if we thrash Scunny and Somerset at home and sneak something at EWR. Lets be positive about this.....its possible!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 All 3 sides will be hoping for and perhaps expecting solid or even big home wins. It will be the team that can pull the rabbit out of the hat and produce a special away performance that will grab a place in the final. Confident the Witches can open up with a win by about 15. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 We definitely need Manzares fit and healthy for this one. The boy is a heavy hitter at Foxhall and we'll need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 A lot also depends if Tungate gets a 28 day ban for pulling out of the PLRC. Magnus Zetterstrom did in 2007 for choosing to ride for the Zlotys in Poland rather than represent his British club... Would also effect Bach and Allen in the PO's too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Why has tungate pulled out? To ride in Polish Play offs, as have Olli Allen and Rene Bach i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 He's not been named in the Gorzow lineup as of yet, Claus Vissing is another who has withdrawn. So thats Ipswich, Berwick, Somerset and Workington all effected. Edinburgh and Scunthorpe still could be with Cook and Klindt's Polish teams still in Polish playoffs!

Super Blue Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Surely in 2014 they wouldn't ban riders from most or all of the British playoff teams and effectively ruining the competition just for withdrawing from a one off individual event , would they ???

But why not? Did to Zetterstrom in 2007 but was just him. So its not right to ban 4 riders that are NOT putting their British clubs first? Allen is British so should ride here due to the agreement between Poland and UK. As for others? However in 2008 Jarek Hampel missed Ipswich's double header to ride for his Polish club and was given a 28 day ban, missing the semi final play off at Poole on the monday. Edit - Rohan Tungate has said that the BSPA have approved him missing the PLRC Edited September 18, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only just become the Witches no1 could have something to do with it as we have no idea how early he would have needed to commit to riding in Poland.

Buttons Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Olly Allen should definately but his British club first, he is British after all. I think all those riders that miss the PLRC to ride in Poland should be banned as per Zetterstrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Interesting to see that the polish play off that Tungate was to rose in has been postponed until Thursday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Just had a scan through how the league results went for the teams involved in this playoff group and it makes interesting reading . If the results were duplicated the table would read like this - Somerset top 7pts +24 race pts Ipswich 2nd 6pts -8 race pts Scunthorpe 3rd 5pts -16 race pts That includes 2 comfortable home wins each for Ipswich and Somerset with Scunthorpe only having one 3 pt home win and a close 2 pt win against the Rebels . I believe this group will be decided on the meetings at Scunthorpe rather than those at Ipswich or Somerset. Somehow I feel that the come the end of the mini league the positions could well be replicated to the ones above . Im definitely going for every result in the group being home wins starting with this meeting , its all going to come down to the race points ! Interesting to see that the polish play off that Tungate was to rose in has been postponed until Thursday..... Well he won't be in Poland this Thursday that's for sure !

screm Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Giving that one of our friends has stated they would eat their programme should Tungate be missing, please can the Ipswich promotion ensure it is a bumper edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hopefully the reverse deal applies whereby a rearranged Polish fixture is lower in the pecking order than an established meeting in the UK. he says on twitter he's at Ippo on Thursday.... Ya programme is safe Bruv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
