One of the worst away teams I saw at Scunthorpe this year. Gave in without a fight. The likes of Berwick, Birmingham, Redcar, Glasgow and Eastbourne all put up a much better fight.  Edinburgh were only better than Kent and Newcastle.

The cup is already decided. Better to get in the play-off final while the weather looks alright.

Not disputing league is priority. I was at Scunny and it was our worst league performance. You have judged on that one performance. We were poor in 2 play off matches at Ashfield too but scored points at many away tracks.

Forecast for Poole looks okay for Wednesday... but not currently okay for Friday.  It would make a great deal of sense to switch over the two meetings at Poole, as the second leg of the cup is a "dead rubber" (Pirates can't lose from a 5-point advantage, given Edinburgh are a poor away team) and if that got rained off on Friday, it wouldn't be as potentially problematic, given the poor weather scheduled also for next Saturday and Sunday.  Get the play-off final in Wednesday while it's possible.

Picked up a minimum of 1 point 7 times out of 10 on the road, would hardly call that poor away form. What would you call Scunthorpes in that case?

Maybe Thursday is Glasgow’s back up day if Tuesday gets called off, and Poole will want to try and keep the 2nd leg at Poole for as long as possible. 

We can run anytime not got a back up day no restrictions as to when we can run.

Got to remember bspa will be watching if the fixtures are not completed they will issue a fine of £3000 well they did in 2018 but as it's Poole and Glasgow they probably won't get fined !!

How's that chip on your shoulder? Stick some vinegar on it might make it less bitter :D

Glasgow have been fined in the past for missing meetings. I think it was five or six grand in around 2013. I’m not aware of Poole being fined but that’s because I’m not aware of them being unable to fulfil all their fixtures. 
It’s nothing to do with bias, everything to do with breaking the rules.

And why aren’t fixtures completed? Because deadline extended to suit other clubs.

In 2018 both teams attempted to ride but ice came up through the track, referee called match off on safety grounds, but bspa still fined the club, nothing like kicking you when you are down, but it was only the last league match, that we had already got the cup for, plus 2 other trophies :party: H18TORY
