I think everyone is the same so if can get the rain offs rescheduled quickly get the play offs at start of September instead of November this year

Looks like it - Redcar are similar, 2 home matches in July, 2 in August both are 1 championship and 1 Summer Trophy.  

Makes sense to do as you suggest and plan for rescheduled matches and make sure there is space in the fixtures list to get the season finished in September.

Leicester can maintain continuity by hosting Cubs' matches on blank Saturdays.   Same is true for Berwick, Edinburgh, Oxford and Plymouth.  No need to worry about short season for tracks with NDL teams.

I wonder if we'll have a hastily arranged Late Summer Trophy & Autumn Trophy?

Just looking at the Fixture list for the remainder of the season and it's a bit of a Joke! Only 5 home fixtures left, 4 in July and only 1 in August on the 6th and then a looooong wait for the "Summer" Trophy and Pay Off places to sort themselves out... not great

 

I think you will find the majority of the Championship clubs finish in mid August to allow more time for the play offs so everything does not focus on needing a dray day in the final week of October unlike last season.  The following weekend after the 6th is the Cardiff SGP and it would be madness to run against this from a financial and staffing standpoint.

Leicester did run against the SoN last season... but I take your point. So we could finish our fixtures on August the 6th and then...? Do you know when the Pay Offs are scheduled for? There's a KoC fixture to be crammed in somewhere IF we can beat Scunny

Not yet as obviously its dependant on where we finish in the league. Remember it's 3rd v 6th & then 4th v 5th. First placed side then gets to choose which of the two winners of these fixtures they face with the 2nd placed team getting the other winner.

I thought previously the Pay Off places had been placed in the calendar, it's quite conceivable if we get a wet spell that the Lions won't be riding from the 6th of August until early October by the time the other teams sort their fixtures out and of course if we finish in the top 2... not ideal

Glasgow in a similar position, or possibly worse as they are out the KO Cup. Last home league meeting v Brum  5 August and it looks possible they could finish second so it would be a play off semi next, possibly not before the third Friday in September, a gap of six weeks.

But still have Summer trophy to do.

It says concussion on updates so will be similar to Palin on age, 12 days.

No. Possible concussion. Withdrawal was precautionary. There is a difference.

We still await further news. But if if is treated as concussion then you are right about 12 days.

He was allowed in the re-run with no immediate symptoms of concussion, but then felt sick and dizzy in the pits and so was withdrawn from the meeting with concussion.   He's therefore on a mandatory 12 day suspension now.
