BROCK Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 What is Ford on? The play offs have been pencilled in for October for months so god knows what he is banging on about. But weren't they put back because some clubs could not complete their fixtures. Correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014  As I stated earlier in the thread: Starman2006 tosses Ford for it.  Heads = Poole win. Tails = King's Lynn lose. what happens if the toss is rained off?? Rock paper scissors, middlo ( supported, advised and coached by ex world champ starman, who also has gary,Ez and shovlar on speedial just incase) v buster  Only problem is starman is keeping the score aswell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 The latest from Poole now is Mr Ford says it's not his fault that they've not raced us yet. It's other clubs fault for not having completed their EL fixtures in time (before the cut off date I guess he means). Well guess what Matt. You're a member of the BSPA. How about you suggest starting the EL several weeks earlier?! Poole aren't the only club that can't control the weather and who share their stadium with other events you know! Start the league fixtures in early/mid March instead of the end of March or early April to attempt to get a head start. Try and then get the play off fixtures done and dusted in September. Just a thought! Â Just taken that from my Twitter as I couldn't be bothered to re-write something different for here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Wow - its heating up on here. Â Gonna have to make a call pretty soon re what if no mtg tonight. Â I think when they declare the first leg score as the only thing to go off Poole are progressing to tomorrows final. Â Then its gonna get red hot on here. havent poole have agreed to forefit the tie due to not being able to full fill their fixtures??... because of track holes and imaginary dog trials 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Workington v Ipswich in recent times rings a bell but cannot remember the exact scenario or which team had the benefit of the decision. Â Either way someone tonight is gonna be well pi$$ed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Speedway has to be the worst run sport in the world. Â In the summer, when the weather was fantastic, Leicester went weeks without having a meeting. I'm sure other clubs were the same, now its raining almost every day they can't run meetings. Â I think a group of 8 year old's could do better. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A precident may have been set by another commitee member  Does anyone know if the monarchs were fined for not fullfilling that fixture??... Or am i totally wrong??

Woz01 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 But weren't they put back because some clubs could not complete their fixtures. Correct me if I am wrong According to the FIM fixture list 1st leg of the play off semis was always going to be 29th September. They actually bought the 2nd Leg of the final forward to the 15th as originally it was down as the 20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 So Matt Fords defense, is to start telling lies? If he really is claiming its all the fault of other clubs for delaying the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Cant see it happening tonight. What then if its off again? Could they not have a game of rock paper scissors? Or how about a fight between fat maude and buster chapman? Or a game of subbuteo? They could televise it? Id watch that I like the cut of your jib sir. Why are you not the chairman of the BSPA instead of whichever idiot is? Â Subbuteo could end up as a way to settle this years champions and with the amount of guests and shenanigans will probably be a lot more interesting.

Just a thought! Â Â Well said. Â On the subject of fixtures I'm sure all promoters have to agree to it at the beginning of the season. It's a pity a few didn't voice their misgivings then, or do they only get concerned when they are getting flack. Â However there are still 2 weeks left of this season so I fail to see what the panic is. Oh yes light bulb moment, it's so Sky can televise it and they dictate when. Â Well hold on just a cotton picking minute is this the same Sky that are not going to show the third most important meeting of the season but will deign to show us key heats. Well Sky here's a bit of advice, rubbish happens sometimes and you have to take the rough with the smooth. You may have lost some dosh last week, but so did Matt Ford/Poole as no doubt did Coventry then and will again tomorrow if tonight does not go ahead. That's not to mention all the fans that have made the effort to travel etc. You just have to suck it up as they say. Â That's part one of today's rant, no doubt I'll be back later Edited October 16, 2014 by Star Lady 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really is claiming its all the fault of other clubs for delaying the play-offs. Were the original play off dates put back or not?. If they were he is not telling lies. You should know as you are the man for dates and figures. You probably know the tracks concerned.

Â I think a group of 8 year old's could do better. Leicester weren't alone. Coventry had one meeting in July, the height of the Summer on the 18th, although two were scheduled - 4th July being postponed. We then had to wait a month before the next match on August 15th which was also postponed. Now here we are the middle of October struggling to complete matches when surprise surprise it keeps raining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROCK Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) So Matt Fords defense, is to start telling lies? If he really is claiming its all the fault of other clubs for delaying the play-offs. But was the original date put back because some clubs had not completed their home fixtures for whatever reason. If they were I am sure you will know, and you would probably know the teams. As you seem to be quite good at the facts and figures  Sory to post twice as first post did not seem to work Edited October 16, 2014 by BROCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejigger Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Gong back to the meeting today, can anyone confirm the team changes, King for Milik and Robson for Porsing ? Have these changes been officially announced - absolutely nothing on the Poole or King's Lynn websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â quote directly from the rulebook. Â Â 17.1.2 The Play-Offs will incorporate the top 4 Teams in the Final League Table (cut-off 22nd Sept).
