Play Offs Should They Be Scrapped.?

Have I?

 

I have passed the odd comment about it yes - but I have not got a bee in my bonnet over it.

 

I know nothing about DAC as you put it. I still believe multiple Accounts are wrong - so much so that years ago when my Account didn't work I set myself up with another Account. A few years after that I thought I would try my old Account to see what would happen - it worked so I contacted the Mods straight away and they block my original Account. To this date - 'The White Knight' is the only Account I have - and I give you my word on that.

 

I hope that satisfies you BW.

 

I don't ever doubt that WK.

You only have a bee in his bonnet when it someone does not share the same views as you ...otherwise it's ok

I was actually addressing BW - obviously you have not got the wit to understand that. I did not quote BW to attempt to save Bandwidth.

 

Nothing for me to answer here - I don't lie by the way - I would hope that your mentor BW would at least back me up on that. I may not agree with people - but I don't lie.

 

An apology would be nice - however - I won't hold my breath.

So you used a quote from me in your post ..then you say you were addressing bw :rofl::rofl:

You won't accept it will you.

 

Have the Play Offs brought people flocking back to Speedway? The answer is a resounding NO.

 

The biggest Crowd is the Final - like it would be in any Competition.

 

A question for you: How much of the Play Off Revenues are paid to the rest of the Clubs in the League who did not actually make the Play Offs?

exactly why I brought up witches 98..ko cup final 4,000 (playoff size crowd) winning title against Swindon (same again),

these crowds typically rise when trophies handed out. it doesn't have to be play offs, any title decider is similar.

the play offs produce good crowds, buthave done nothing long term for speedway, just 2 weeks a season?

So, that is 2 weeks sorted.

 

Now to sort out the rest of the mess...

 

Whereas you say scrap those 2 weeks.. then we just have the mess.

I apologise if my Post read as being sarcastic - it was not meant to be. I just wanted to get my point across. I certainly did not mean to offend you.

 

 

I think you mean 'is'.

 

 

Only one person doing that and it is NOT Fred Flange. Personal remarks like that lose you the argument straight away.

 

EDIT: Yet another typo on my account. I have inserted the word NOT which I meant to put in the first place.

No worries. No offence taken.

 

Still think you need to embrace the 'play offs'. :o)

Witcher has not got the brain to realise this Colin,saying that he would not av a clue what happened in 1998.FACT how is there fact in the play/offs.? we all know the play/offs semi /final do ok for the four who Qualify but they barely compensate for losses throughout the season a few rain offs (ect).Everyone who does not really like the play/offs has said they do a job I've said,WK,Steve,Fred (good bloke!!) have all said the play/offs are ok are they right? a different matter.

What ? you keep saying the same thing ...explain if we never had play offs how the crowds would be bigger at thou same matches ?

 

If clubs have losses during the season how by not having the play offs how is that going to help them ? using your logic they will lose even more money .

?? what are you about ... you keep saying the play offs make up for losses during the season as the crowds are poor so as I asked you to explain why those same matches would be bigger without the play offs ? also if clubs do makes losses during the season why by not having play offs how would they help them make up these losses you keep going on about ?

 

The bottom line is you can't answer these questions and intill you can your points have no value .
