This has to be fitted in before the league cut-off. Expand 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! Edited September 5, 2022 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) 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.

I'm not saying it's right but NL always gets pushed to the bottom of the pile! Edited September 7, 2022 by szkocjasid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 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.

Islander15 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Belle Vue should get a point at Armadale. If I was a Colts fan, I’d be more concerned about the weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Colts fan, I’d be more concerned about the weather! Expand 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
