Cast1rn Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Fingers crossed the weather stays good, forecast is for rain early morning then to clear up. Another important meeting with Glasgow wanting to maintain their spot in the league and vital for the Plymouth riders to get some track time together and try and move off the bottoms spot.

Jaizer Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Tougher match than Plymouth's league position would have you believe. Howarth had his best meeting at ashfield last year and barker is always exciting and worth a win or 2. Despite Richie's publicised dislike of the current shape was very good in the test match last year. Gilkes was excellent in u21s and dan T penny seemed to drop during that meeting and his form has taken off everywhere since. Reserves look weak though, 53-37ish for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendonebunching Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 There will be no Gilkes or Pearson for Plymouth as they are both in the under 21 Son meeting. Wonder who the guests will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 I don’t think it will be starke after he got bombed out earlier in the season, I could be wrong but whoever it is we will struggle the reserve issue could bite us on the bum again.

If difficult could just use r/r for Gilkes. Edited August 10, 2023 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important that we get it run as there are really few viable alternative dates before the cut off. A time to hold our nerve and if need be just to tell the riders to get on with it.

And I somehow don't think you are worried about Edinburgh overtaking you. * obviously commercial imperatives mean all postponements are bad from a financial perspective.

Arnie I genuinely want to know what Absolute Walloper came up with the playoff plan this year, now don't get me wrong I think the mini leagues thing is an outstanding idea. But basically giving 1st place to decide the teams their going to face, leaving 2nd 3rd and 4th in a pointless limbo is beyond. Surely it should've been 1st place gets the 1st pick, 2nd gets the 2nd pick back to 1st for their final playoff league opposition with the remaining team going into the 2nd finishes league. When it comes to any decision are they QA'ing them at all or just going "f it that'll work"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there plenty of parking? The stadium car park I think is pretty expensive, I think there's still a manned car park about half a mile down the street towards the bingo used to be £3. Tbh I (and a lot of people) leave the car on the street perpendicular to the hawthorn street, can't remember the name. There's an industrial estate type area there never had any hassle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to find a restaging date before the cut off might be necessary to determine Plymouths final league position. An off night meeting would probably draw a much lower crowd. With potentially four Friday night tracks in the playoffs - Glasgow, Redcar, Scunthorpe for sure and possibly Edinburgh, more off night and lower crowds are likely.
