Two meetings between the same clubs on the same night..... I think someone tried this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 It would be far easier for the relegation spot to be decided by the bottom two teams in the top league having a home/away play off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Back in 1986 Rye House were riding at Canterbury and had recently signed Alan Mogridge from the Crusaders. Canterbury were - for some reason - still using r/r for Moggo so in one heat he was riding for Rye against a rider replacement for himself! So not much has really changed in 31 years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tric trac Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I often wonder if a gun being taken out of a toolbox in the pits at a Cradley vs Hackney match in 1969 after a fight on the track was ever true.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing.May cause more problems.If you inforce the R&P you might get Championship teams dropping points all over the place to avoid going up.

It may not be a long queue... I suspect that the two or three teams coming up has already been decided and is nothing to do with what happens on the track. The re-structuring looks like being 12 in the top league with lots of shuffling around below that to make up the 2nd tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs pick which league they want to take part in (e.g. Eastbourne and Lakeside). I think I missed their double relegation play-offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's true enough. There wasn't a fight on track though, just a screw-loose Hawk being stupid. Never knew if it was a real gun, tho.....
