flagrag Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I see tonight that BT have confirmed the dates for the Premiership Grand Final which were originally the dates for the relegation and promotion meetings. Has the idea of relegation now been dropped or just moved back and not televised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Still listed as 9th and 11th on Speedway GB site!!! And they say fixtures subject to change- which they will do probably today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Monday and Wednesday 2nd and 4th October That is strange, if Swindon get through to the final we cannot race on a wed as we have dog racing on wed nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 That is strange, if Swindon get through to the final we cannot race on a wed as we have dog racing on wed nights. The second leg would be the away leg then, if Swindon make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 That is strange, if Swindon get through to the final we cannot race on a wed as we have dog racing on wed nights. So that will have to be the away leg then. Unless the Swindon riders are doubling up as greyhounds as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon will not want to give up the 2nd leg at home- and the stadium will probably make arrangements with BAGS for that one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockster Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 With the Play off final dates much later than expected, does this mean the League cut off date will be extended so that all clubs can fulfill their fixture list? No reason to cram all meetings in before 6th September now surely???? Play off semis probably 18th & 25th September so cut off could easily be put back to 11th or 13th September?

theblueboy Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) What a bunch of useless c***s these people are. Do the powers that be actually give a monkeys about us mere supporters (its an ironic question - I know the answer) I deliberately planned my job around the PO to ensure that should Swindon be successful and reach:- 1) The Play Offs 2) The Final It was all sorted. Now I find I am on the outskirts of London for a 2 day meeting with another colleague, which, should they be successful, will hamper my attempts to attend either fixture. Having barely missed a fixture for 10 years at home and attended all the PO semi finals and travelled away on a number of occasions during this period this really is a poor way to treat proper fans.

W*****S They do it all the time. I got fecked over by Poole a couple of years ago and couldn't attend as the date was changed last minute. As if we matter, we just turn up every week and love handing over that cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should we be forced to have the second leg away, they may be able to get the dogs changed if BT pay Stadia UK compensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole last season gave Wolves the second leg of the playoff semi as Monmore was not available for the first leg. If Swindon want the second leg of the final, then they will have to ask dogs to move. Or take the first leg. But of course they might not even make the final. They could lose out to Rye House or Poole in the semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
