All rather depends on the weather in early winter... good chance of dates being re arranged. 

Not sure why 2021  PL play off matches HAVE to be on a Monday or Thursday........ 

It might have something to do with Premiership racenights being Monday and Thursday as doubling up riders ride Championship matches on all the other nights.

Well if you want a full team they have to be. Champ playoffs look way more interesting and no Champ promoter is going to give up a rider cos you want to use their race night!!

If I was wolves I'd pick Sheffield.

Wolves would be clear favourites to beat both the Aces and Sheffield in the semi, the team Wolves will fear is boro as its their worst away track.

The team with the best chance of beating boro in semi is Belle Vue (already beat them twice on aggregate) which would suit wolves perfectly.

 

That makes perfect sense!

Oh dear, and there was me thinking that the BSPL could agree together on a set of p. off dates for both of "their" leaguesto maximise attendances at all tracks, in the interests of the sport.

I should know better . I am a silly old sod :-(

 

It has been agreed, mon and thurs for the prem!! Although Sheffield rode on a Sunday the other day so that's an alternative.

It is l utter madness (even given the late start) that despite only 10 home league meetings for each team we are talking about how to fit in play off matches in October.....

We wont want to use Sunday, crowds were terrible in 2019, that's one of main reasons we switched to the PL

Just an alternative if needed! Or maybe Tuesday if Sweden is finishing up. As Kent and Plymouth ride Tuesday and assuming Kent aren't making the playoffs now, might still be possible though. Weds, Fri, and Saturdays will be used by Champ playoffs. Unless the prem really need to use a Weds and Poole possibly could do  a Sunday instead?

i think the only days we can operate is Sunday & Thursday due to restrictions because of the dogs

Thought that the best crowds for the  PREMIERSHIP play offs (given  a blank canvas and the full co operation from all promoters in the sport)  would be attracted on either a Friday or Saturday.? 

 Admitted the TV coverage would be a problem ....... and track availability seems to be an issue with dog meetings . You would think that once in a season the track could be made avaialble for a major p. off event. ?? After all speedway seems to move to accommodate  major events for dogs bangers stocks etc.

You can have Friday or Saturday, you just won't have a full team for obvious reasons.
