On what date are the final positions sorted. I have not seen any dates for PL or CL. Surely, it should be on the BSPA site in the League Table section.

The blank dates for the Pl play odds are under the fixtures for each month, thanks Skidder for pointing me in the right direction a couple of weeks ago!!

Just noticed that the play off final dates are Monday and Thursday so surely this is another reason Swindon would be going all out for top spot. We weren't able to have the 2nd leg at home in 2017 as it was a Wednesday so surely the promotion would prefer the 2nd leg at home this year.

It's always preferable, although those that made the trip to Wolverhampton certainly enjoyed it.

Its fairly obvious that Poole and Swindon are there already

The 'crunch' night for me is the 5th September

Belle Vue go to Peterborough the same night as Wolves go to Poole. Both the away sides will be capable of getting 4 points. And before the usual Poole suspects react , Poole will be cemented in the play offs so i doubt they will be 100%

We at Ippo face another mauling from Swindon the same night. We should get 3 points tonight against Peterborough but then we have home and away v Poole and Swindon........the only points i can see on offer are against Poole at home

Predicted 5th September was crunch night

Said both Wolves and Belle Vue were capable of getting all the points and they both almost did

Just glad that we didnt get the 'mauling' i thought we would

Cheers. I have seen the dates of 23/9 & 26/9 for Play Off 1 & 30/9 & 3/10 for Play Off 2 in the fixtures section. It is just that I have seen meetings for 16/9 & 17/9 & wondered if these were still within the cut off point. I know, from the results last night who the top 4 are so was just wondering when the final league positions are to be sorted by, to see who finishes top & has the choice.

Swindon no chance of finishing top now so Wolves it will be in the semi. Winner of that wins the final. I was quite confident before last night but Becker and Douglas at reserve worries me now and think they might edge us over 2 legs. They will win both legs of the final against Poole.

I think we can edge it over two legs if we can keep it to a 6  point defeat away damage limitation.At the Abbey Thorssell, Howarth, Morris, Becker  all have to be on there A  game for them to beat us also the Robins have riders who can score well at Monmore a 50/50 tie in my book.

With Swindon so good at home you have to fancy them. Wolves the in form team. Would be a humdinger of a semi.Repeat of the 2009 and 2017 Grand Finals.

I can't see us keeping it that close away TBH. Wolves the only team that will batter us at reserve now.

Okay,,, can we play too, it might not be all about only you lot. 

With Niels now leading the team and how we have heard how Harris comes alive in the play offs, I think we can beat any of you over 2 legs. Allen back at reserve, Heeps back on top form. I don't think it's as clear cut as some of you think it is.

I said when Belle Vue were top they were in a false position and wouldn't make the play offs.

I think Poole should finish top, who they choose, not sure?

If Swindon finish top, I think they will choose Poole, financially a Poole Swindon match at Play Off or Final will be the Season’s biggest earner and Terry Russell is primarily a business man, and why risk either of that pairing getting beaten elsewhere?

In terms of Champions, I hope not, but feel Wolves are currently the team to beat.

Wolves v Swindon would pit the two in form teams and should give a nail biting final, but if Poole finish top, I think this will be the semi?

Time will tell, may the best team win.

We have scored 44 and 42 in two visits to Monmore this year and our form at home has been very good recently so it is all to play for.Warranted our top five will have to be on it but we are capable of a comfortable home win.Clutching at straws i know but i am hoping Douglas does not improve on his monmore form but yes there reserves look powerful and have a huge edge in that department.

I can see that if Swindon do finish top don't think they will though we could have two full houses for the semi final
