If the Cook injury is confirmed as true then it dents both Glasgow's and Belle Vue's chances in the relevant play offs.

I have complete empathy with you on that.

Quite likely now that no one will see Cookie again this season whatever night is chosen (unfortunately) 

Not according to Craig himself on the Glasgow facebook page , he has good strength and movement in his hand and expects to be riding next week dependant on the final diagnosis.

It may well be correct he is out for the season but this sounds better than last night, we shall await news on Craig.

The failure of the Workington and Glasgow promotions to announce dates for either of their League semi-final play-offs presumably indicates a failure to agree one or both of these. This is, arguably, the most important competition of the year and it is now one week since Peterborough chose Ipswich as their opponents. Meanwhile fans are unable to plan away trips and Glasgow riders increasingly lack match fitness. 

Surely there should be an independant speedy dispute resolution process to deal with such situations?

Glasgow are only in 2 meetings home/away legs, so why, because they want it sorted everyone has to jump as Glasgow riders are losing match fitness ?? Worky are now in the Shield Final too so another home/away meeting to arrange , Peterborough, lakeside both have meetings to get in ...Glasgow will only want it when they have Cook, which works both ways , we should have it when best suits us too, likewise with Boro, lakeside .

I wish Peterborough had been able to choose Ipswich!!

But I see your point

Think some are past caring , my season tickets at ibrox and the Steven Gerrard factor has put it to the back burner.

How do you know everyone has to jump you in the negotiating process ?.

There are 4 teams in the play-offs, not always the Glasgow show , the season finishes on 31st October, you's have booked end of season Do for probably the busiest weekend for teams getting fixtures in  you don't want them ran without Cook so leaving 2 weekends.  I couldn't give a monkeys when they are to be honest , they will be run when we hear they will be run, and I'll be at both , no point kicking and screaming, will get you nowhere 

[Lord Lucan]

Being as there is a lot of negativity about the Comets on other thread's here's some on this!!

I predict that whenever the play off dates are arranged it'll rain and we'll need to have another go at it, there, I've said it!!

Who is "kicking and screaming" ? I only asked if it was not possible and sensible to appoint some independant arbiter (or arbitrator as you English call them !) to speedily sort out disputes (if, indeed, that is the cause of the delay in the announcement of dates) between the clubs. Some Workington fans seem to be getting over-sensitive to the fixtures problems which their team's success, and other causes, has brought. It's been obvious for months that the current difficulties would arise and nobody appears to have taken any action to ease the situation. Now this semi-final of the most important competition seems destined to be decided by R/R, guest riders, double headers, not-fully-fit riders, etc.  

And, yes, I meant Lakeside in my previous post. Senility to blame.

We are over-sensitive at the minute, not surprising the amount of flack we copping on this forum for fixtures, behind the scenes scenario's....a lot of people hell bent posting negative comments ..I agree, it was always going to be difficult to get fixtures in at the business end of the season . Why the KOC with Edinburgh has to be this weekend is beyond me, averages change 1st October , Dan will drop from our top 3 so r/r comes into play , can only imagine it was agreed weeks ago when the fixtures were to be held. Peterborough will still be racing Lakeside come Xmas at this rate, another rain-off yesterday  

[Paulco]

And so it rumbles on with still no word on when the Glasgow v Workington semi final takes place . It really should be this weekend as the league title should take precedence over cup competitions , but since the Edinburgh v Worky cup semi is already penciled in for then , then it should be the same as the Peterborough v Lakeside semi which is the 6th and 7th of October . And yes i know we wont have our best rider , but so what ? If you sign a rider with all sorts of other commitments, then you have to expect and be prepared for fixture clashes . 

No wonder the sport in this country is in such a mess when the governing body allow the clubs to decide when they want to race . The four clubs should be told both semi finals are on the weekend of the 5th , 6th and 7th of October with the final the following weekend , deal with it .

Exactly Paulco, imagine other sports doing that, oh just decide between yourselves when you want the match to go ahead...………...

That's how farcical speedway has become . Why bother having play offs when you get this nonsense . " Oh we cant have it then because such and such is away " , as you say - what other sport's governing body doesnt have the balls to tell clubs that they decide when the matches are - not you .
