TonyE Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) A further update: Workington H5 A8 +12 Lakeside H7 A7 +11 Peterborough H9 A8 +11 Edinburgh H6 A8 +7 Glasgow H7 A7 +6 Ipswich H7 A8 +2 Berwick H10 A7 +1 Newcastle H7 A6 0 Scunthorpe H8 A8 -3 Redcar H8 A9 -7 Sheffield H10 A8 -15 Provided Workington can get their home meetings in, it looks very much like three of the top four are more or less done and dusted. Crucial weekend for the two Scottish teams - here's hoping that all riders stay safe this weekend. Edited August 24, 2018 by TonyE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on - the perils of cutting and pasting - now corrected - although also out of date following tonight's meetings. So here is the updated version: Workington H5 A8 +12 Lakeside H7 A7 +11 Peterborough H9 A8 +11 Edinburgh H7 A8 +7 Glasgow H7 A8 +6 Ipswich H7 A9 +6 Berwick H10 A7 +1 Newcastle H7 A6 0 Scunthorpe H9 A8 -6 Redcar H8 A9 -7 Sheffield H10 A8 -15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I calculate that two 4 point away wins plus two 2 point away draws less two 3 point home losses = +6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOPS! Of course you're right - my brain didn't register they have 2 away draws not 2 points worth of away draws. My apologies.

Tapeworm Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) As at Sunday 2nd September, also showing remaining fixtures and dates where known:- 1 Workington +12 - Red(H) 8th, New(H) 8th, Pet(H) 14th, New(A) 16th, Lak(H) TBA 2= Peterborough +11 - Lak(A) 8th, Ber(H) 9th, Wor(A) 14th. 2= Lakeside +11 - Edin(A) 7th, Pet(H) 8th, Gla(H) 14th, New(H) 15th, Wor(A) TBA 4 Edinburgh +8 - Lak(H) 7th, Gla(A) 11th, Ber(H) 14th. 5= Ipswich +6 - Gla(A) 4th, Ber(H) 6th, Gla(H) 13th. 5= Glasgow +6 - Ips(H) 4th, Edi(H) 11th, Ips(A) 13th, Lak(A) 14th. 7= Berwick 0 - Ips(A) 6th, Pet(A) 9th, Edi(A) 14th. 7= Newcastle 0 - Wor(A) 8th, Scu(H) 9th, Lak(A) 15th, Wor(H) 16th. 9 Scunthorpe -6 - New(A) 9th. 10 Redcar -7 - She(H) 7th, Wor(A) 8th. 11 Sheffield -14 - Red(A) 7th. E&OE Cut off for play-offs is at midnight on 16th. A few teams will be praying for no rain offs of home fixtures, especially Workington on 8th and Lakeside on 14th/15th, as unconcluded home fixtures will count as -3 each on this table, and there are few options for re-staging. Could be quite a rumpus coming from Cumbria after their enforced mid-season fixtures alterations! Squeaky derriere time!

scotchopper Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 http://www.lakesidehammers.co/fixture-confirmation/ Not sure if I am reading this correct but I think this article means that the Lakeside vs Peterborough match won't be held before the cut off date. I also cannot see how Workington vs Lakeside will be held before the cut off date. This means Lakeside will only manage 3 more meetings, away to Edinburgh and then home to Glasgow and Newcastle. If they fail to get any points at Edinburgh on Friday that would mean they are vulnerable when they should be stick on for the play offs. Weather permitting they look like the only 2 meetings featuring the top 7 that won't fit in before the cut off assuming it is 16th September? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Hammers will not now have a fixture on the Saturday, perhaps this date should also be pencilled in as a contingency date at Armadale, should Friday fall foul of the rain?

This Lakeside situation is just a shambles,they would be as closing the doors after the cut -off date if they don't make it through.They will still be racing in Dec the way things have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just the typical farcical end to the cut off as happens every year............... Quite incredible ............. the warmest driest summer in history ............. and everyone only had to arrange 10 home meetings to arrange ........... frankly there are no excuses for anyone not completing by the 16th And actually I think it would be the best thing for the sport if a team doesn't get into the playoffs due to its inability to complete them in time...... The cut off date should be clearly stated at the beginning of the season and stuck too only exception if its a wet summer and there are many rain offs ...... geez the league cup semi's haven't been done ......... and the 1st round of the knock out cup still not completed why promoters want to race in freezing October with lights on ..... as opposed to the summer in the daylight is beyond me ...... well done Berwick for completing their league during August 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
