scotchopper Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 To be honest I now hope it is Newcastle vs Edinburgh as I don't hold out much hope of organising getting to Peterborough for Sunday. We were so close to booking flights last week. Promotions really need to get together better on this and stop working against each other. For what it's worth I think a cup final should supersede any seniority rules. Hopefully there will be a decision today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontrader Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 from Edinburgh website FIXTURE UPDATE Monday 29 September 2014, 18:30 UK BY TOBY LERONE New fixtures on our calendar are coming thick and fast at the moment and sometimes it is even difficult for us to keep up to speed. However, as we look ahead to this week's action, Newcastle Diamonds will be at Armadale on Friday for the first leg of the Knock Out Cup semi Final. On Sunday 5th October we will be at Peterborough for a two o'clock start to the first leg of the League Cup Final. The deciding leg will be at Armadale on Friday 10th October. With thanks to the co-operation of Newcastle promoter, George English, we will be at the Newcastle Stadium on Sunday 12th October for the second leg of the Knock Out Cup semi final. That will be a 6.30pm start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have to, but it seems he was prevailed on to allow it, as as it says it needed George to cooperate when he didn't need to. Seems 'it's in the best interest of PL speedway". Just hope the sacrifice by Newcastle, allows the mighty hoards of Panther fans to attend as they have indicated on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyH Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Pperhaps George assumed that Edinburgh were free to come to Newcastle next Sunday and only found out later that we had a final arranged two weeks ago for 5 October? After taking months to run the semi v Glasgow another week's delay isn't too much to ask - or maybe no other team should arrange fixtures without asking Newcastle first For once in speedway, commonsense has prevailed.

Good old George, what a hero, created and then solved a problem which wasn't there in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Good old George, what a hero, created and then solved a problem which wasn't there in the first place. Must have slipped your little mind that George's cooperation was required. If it was right in the first case, George would not have needed to cooperate, the fixture would have been announced as standing. DavyH Note my comments. It wasn't Newcastle holding up the tie with Glasgow. Edited September 29, 2014 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because George put a spanner in the works of an already arranged fixture and then backed down he's suddenly some sort of messiah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 And there's me thinking you were terrified of meeting the toothless tigers Wouldn't commit to new dates and even a double header two days in a row, to help get the tie done and dusted, but the answer was always no. Not sure what you're saying, you may need to clarify if I have it wrong? So because George put a spanner in the works of an already arranged fixture and then backed down he's suddenly some sort of messiah? You have Riggers. Not for the first time, mind. Wonder where you will be on Sunday. 'If you have any brains you will be there', so I expect you to be at the footie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'If you have any brains you will be there', so I expect you to be at the footie. Indeed I said that I might have it wrong which is why I asked for clarification oh mighty one. What exactly did good old George do to make us all stand back in amazement? You also clearly didn't realise that the football is Chelsea v Arsenal on Sky so it's unlikely I'll be at it, but then again, attention to detail isn't your strong point is it?

Arson fire Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Richie, Howe and wells look the best bets if and when they are free, saying that it may only be 2 meetings....wells at Edinburgh and Richie at home if possible.

Seems to be a paragraph missed off saying that they also complained to the BSPA in August when Panthers posted a news item saying "Panthers bosses are keen to stage further Sunday fixtures following the success of a recent victory over previously unbeaten table-toppers Edinburgh." and are disappointed that no action was taken at that point to avoid this unfortunate situation.

cyclone Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Both Edinburgh & Peterborough Promotions via their websites are acknowledging that Newcastle could have insisted that the the second leg of the KOC be held on Sunday. George English has allowed the Peterborough meeting to take place instead because he recognized that some Monarchs fans had already made travel arrangements for Sunday. Nice to see that the travelling fans have been considered in this instance 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I dont see how he could have insisted. What if, the entire Edinburgh team had agree to go to Church on Sunday so were not available? Could they still have been made to go? Or what if the whole team were riding in Poland no Sunday? Surely if a meeting is already programmed it's tough.
