Paulco Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 SR 18.3.2 All Meetings, including the Semi-Finals and Final are decided upon the aggregate score of both the home and away legs. In the event of a tie in aggregate, provided the 2nd leg took place before August 1st then the Tie will be replayed, thereafter the outcome of any tie will be determined by Golden Heats Format. So why not just make every draw on aggregate golden heats ? We were ready to race our KO Cup tie in June but had to wait on Workington and Newcastle sorting out replay dates . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Why did Peterborough turn it down?So they're criticised for turning up with a weakened team recently and criticised for not accepting a date when they would have had a weakened team....

The Third Man Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I thought there was a set date that all ties needed to completed by  Obviously I was wrong but why isn't there a date for each round to be Completed  If you haven't completed then who ever is causing the hold up forfeits the tie  Or is that too simple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 So they're criticised for turning up with a weakened team recently and criticised for not accepting a date when they would have had a weakened team.... Â Not the best of comparisons. Just says that we want our best team out when it matters to us but will send out any ol' rot when it doesn't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 We didn't turn it down you filled it with another fixture. Â Because Holder wasnt available....and no bung from Polska! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Only 2 clubs managed to complete all 36 league matches before the cut off  Only 2 clubs completed their initial cup tie within planned timescale  Surprise surprise the answer is the same to both 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Sheffield will have completed their home matches and be up to date with cup matches as well  We can't control away matches I'm afraid Sheffield will have completed their home matches and be up to date with cup matches as well  We can't control away matches I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich were through on 1st April, Sheffield on 1st June (2 months later) and the others still to sort the ties out.I say make Ipswich the winners as the rest of the teams didn't complete the ties at the beginning of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will need to be cut off dates next season to stop teams taking the _____. We say that every year . The League Cup was always supposed to be done and dusted by June , but it never was . Just as well we binned that or we would be talking about Christmas . Once we start getting rain offs , and surprisingly that does happen in this country , re-arranging fixtures to cope with riders doubling up or riding abroad , and the issues that brings , means we'll always have this end of season carnage . The saddest thing I read on here today was the announcement of the Ipswich v Edinburgh play off semi on Thursday and Friday , and did the fans of both clubs declare that they were looking forward to it ??????? No they were fretting that they were going to go into the matches with 2 or 3 riders missing cause they might be riding somewhere else . That's a sad indictment of where speedway is just now . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
