Cup and play-offs come later.  This has to be fitted in before the league cut-off.

Very much doubt that would happen. Plymouth vs Glasgow was called off for the play-offs (now rained off) and Leicester vs Berwick (NL) was called off for the KOC. 

I can't see Armadale vs Belle Vue happening till Edinburgh's play-off campaign is over!

Any idea when the league cut off actually is? Just looked and the Colts do look at risk without getting that fixture in time.

I asked this, and ascertained it is 30 September

8 teams in the League and looks like the playoffs will be in October ridiculous.

Lucky that there have been so few rain offs really, imagine a full fixture backlog now and potentially an iffy spell of weather....the cut off should be end of August with play offs in September...simple

I guess the events of this weeks key fixtures at Oxford and Kent will play out then the urgency level will be decided.....does seem daft that after a whole season that the play offs will be held in deep October.

That would not be possible, Leicester & Belle Vue wouldn't be racing NL play-off matches till their Championship / Premiership campaigns were completed. I'm not saying it's right but NL always gets pushed to the bottom of the pile!

Indeed shambolic accross every league every year. 

Armadale fixture "might" not be so key now after Oxfords ridiculous call off last night. If the Colts can get a win (and even a draw is probably enough) at Kent thats the run in decided. 

A Kent win and they will be keen to re-visit Oxford and hope there is medical cover in place before they make the trip.

Sooo how hard are Belle Vue pressing to get this fixture on now? Even with the Colts poor away record they would fancy at least getting a close loss and the single point needed to secure a play off spot unless Oxford and Kent do something daft like manage a draw on Wednesday.

Four point Kent victory  would put them two points clear meaning Belle Vue need a win

Belle Vue should get a point at Armadale. If I was a Colts fan, I’d be more concerned about the weather!

Although with the exception of Ablitt and Hodder the Colts have pretty appalling away averages. And Sam McGurk got 0 from 5 guesting against Armadale earlier in the season. Their performance at Kent (again bar Ablitt and the reserves) was distinctly underwhelming.

They should get the point they need but I wouldn't take it for granted.
