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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

old bob at herne bay Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 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 :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont want to use Sunday, crowds were terrible in 2019, that's one of main reasons we switched to the PL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 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.....

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?

old bob at herne bay Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) With Hans moving out of reserve in October, would it be a brave move to pick Wolves? I believe the first leg at Monmore would be in September. Take out your competition when you're at your most strongest.

LisaColette Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Considering most of the teams in the Champ playoffs ride on a Friday, never gonna happen! They will just have to crack on with Mon and Thurs! If the prem want other days available in the playoffs then it needs to be agreed at the AGM in the winter before.
