The cut-off date is simply an arbitrary date to allow the play-off teams to be known. The season carries on until 31st October. I would expect the matter had been discussed and resolved prior to the date being announced. Of course, I meant to add that even tho it’s still an official league fixture it’s priority is trumped by that of a more important Play Off fixture. 3 hours ago, NeilWatson said: The same situation will now arise on 13th October - Newcastle v Redcar in CLKOC final, Wolverhampton v Peterborough in PST. (Charles Wright and Ulrich Ostergaard). Didn’t think the PST will be classed as more important tho? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rules state that Lawson has to ride for Eastbourne then so be it..................you cant change a rule just to apply common sense.........oh wait last years play off final the rules were changed to allow Morris to ride I think the rule book should be scrapped and then we can just get Poole speedway and its fans to just decide what 'common sense' is at the business end of the season. If Eastbourne and Ipswich have come to an agreement then so be it........irony if Lawson becomes a match winner Wouldn’t be ironic at all. It would be fine as he is an Ipswich rider. Clearly with all the bleating you are doing about hoping he would ride for Eastbourne so that in your mind Ipswich could gain an advantage with r/r, it isn’t going to happen. Tough luck. He is riding for Ipswich. Both teams at full strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading the line where ive said that i want him to ride for us as he did all season....and a valid point made by hammer1969 that he has also ridden for Eastbourne to. R/R wouldnt make us stronger much of a muchness............would rather have our full 1-7 Im a firm believer in the rules of speedway and i know as a Poole fan you probably dont understand that line of thinking If Lawson does or doesnt ride , if Poole dont get through it will be the biggest choke in play off history.........unlikely there has been a hotter favourite in the semis since the play offs began.....i just hope we can keep the score respectable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the line above that. At face value there’s two consecutive rules 16.1 and 16.1.1 which contradict each other!

Do you think the fact that 16.1.1 is in bold typeface might indicate that it maybe relevant and have priority over 16.1 ? Perhaps not, but the rules are quite clear but it now seems that priorities are organised not by the rules but by what someone thinks is a more ‘important’ meeting. I like to hear a comment from the Eastbourne promotion. Edited September 23, 2019 by woofers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
