No biggie - Peterborough just take Plymouth's spot Saturday & have to qualify for Sunday as opposed to being seeded.

it seems like the logical decision , but this is speedway . hope the powers that be come to the correct decision .

It's Speedway, so Peterborough replace Plymouth on Saturday. The top team in each group qualify for the final on Sunday + one wildcard team. If Peterborough top their group the wild card entry goes to the highest scoring second team, If Peterborough don't top their group they become the wildcard entry.

Sensible and speedway don't mix.

.

Peterborough will still be seeded so a NL or EL team will be invited in! Could have a combination of teams with EL and NL teams. Eg Coventry or Belle Vue.

 

If that happens it would turn a great meeting into a laughing stock. Hopefully Plymouth will still be there, failing that Peterborough should take their place and go through the qualifying system as every other team is doing.

Should be the 3 group winners plus highest scoring runners up, No need for wild card entry . what's the point of Peterborough fighting for a place in the final on Saturday knowing if they don't qualify they will still be in the final on sunday

Panthers take Plymouths place on Saturday however If they fail to qualify, they still qualify for the final on Sunday to ensure a good crowd for the final.

Come on now , you shouldn't expect to much from him , not sure if he's still taking the medication . but it looks as if he could do with another bucketful.

He may seem to post some crap but he sure knows how to reel people in easily.

But this is Speedway, The BSPA by using the "wildcard" option can have "a get out of jail card". If Peterborough win their group, they qualify on merit, If Peterborough finish as highest scoring second place team, again the BSPA can say they chose Peterborough(as the wildcard) on merit as the second highest scorers. But if Peterborough don't win their Group or finish as highest scoring second placed team, they still have the option to put Peterborough in the final as the Wildcard, all done in the "Best Interests of the sport"

 

If they announce that the Top 3 + Plus highest scoring Second place team qualify for the final, there's the risk of the home team not being in the final, and the perceived loss of income from not having the home team in the final.

 

I personally don't think the crowd for Sunday's events, would be significantly affected if Peterborough didn't make the finals, but it's a risk I don't think the BSPA would be willing to take.

There should not be any argument about it , 3 group winners +best runner up to final otherwise the whole competition would be a waste of time and a joke , lets give all the teams a fair chance and an equal chance .
