This inclues the Cubs and Lions. Year after year, it is always the same for the more successful clubs & this why cut off dates should be in place for all stages of competitions. They use different race nights for end of season so why can't they use them earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have been waiting since April to face the winner lol By sitting on the fence for a few months, and delaying the koc at Scunny til Sept. it avoided the embarassment of their season ending inAugust with noting to show for it. Instead, they were able to end in Sept., with still nothing to show for it! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole had the first leg on the 12th and we finished the job on 16th. plus in them days you had qualifying rounds for the 4's and other stuff Edited September 8, 2022 by Normski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes the BSPA to set firm dates for completion of each round and stop the various Promotions doing what they please.Every Promotion  should have an alternative race night which can be used in emergency.If they don’t and are unable to use it they should concede the tie.

Happens pretty much every year, I wouldn't be surprised if a team has to run on off nights and run home meetings on consecutive nights just to complete their fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 In 2019 the Lion's and Cubs between them rode 6 matches in September and 9 in October. 15 in all. So yes, nothing changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
