Leicester also av meetings on a Sunday as I went to one this season. And Poole originally had the Riders' Final on Saturday. Cud be any every which way but loose!

Poole may have more of a chance by saying they had the better results and didn't rely on points difference. In any case fixtures should just be given by the the bspl and the clubs get on with it imo The next time this happens will be the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok take your point ,not all but more often than not because they came top and had the choice, but if it was open to choice seemed to remember them choosing the last Weds in October taking a chance on the weather to get the last leg.

More concerning though is that they can make a decision in the winter then change their minds in the summer as some see fit. Not really befitting of a professional sport. Its just more proof that three teams are dictating how the championship is being run ,who do you think will benefit most from the proposed aggregate points return Edited August 16, 2022 by scoobydoo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wots the 'proposed' doing in there? And if those 3 club's are 'dictating' how the Championship is run then they are leading the way in showing professionalism & there's nothing wrong in that. That isn't to say that other club's are not being run professionally it's just that I'm trying to figure out ur cryptic message.
