szkocjasid Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 If Poole top the "qualifying table" and Edinburgh are 6th I can see them avoiding Edinburgh & Glasgow (long distances) and Oxford (hoping for big crowds for the final). Poole - Redcar - Scunthorpe Oxford - Glasgow - Edinburgh If Birmingham finish 6th, I'd expect Poole to pick them (weakest & more local) along with Scunthorpe (closer than Redcar). Poole - Scunthorpe - Birmingham Oxford - Redcar - Glasgow If Oxford finish top, I could see then making the same decisions. Oxford - Redcar - Scunthorpe Poole - Glasgow - Edinburgh Or Oxford - Scunthorpe - Birmingham Poole - Redcar - Glasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 If I was in charge of Poole and they finished top, I’d leave Glasgow, Oxford and Redcar in a group, which would be a very exciting bloodbath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pick Glasgow tbh. Easiest BP this season Prob different for people in charge but I would pick teams easiest to get aggregate win. In the past Poole riders have had a vote when choosing opponent's. So maybe they would pick Redcar and Scunny (purely based on they like riding the track!)

Suppose be impossible with potentially 4 Friday clubs to show every match, doubt bsn is capable of multiple broadcasts just yet. Love to be wrong though!!

Love to be wrong though!! The Fridays clubs may have to race on an off race night, to avoid going into October / November. Although it's unlikely there would be 3 Friday teams in one group as Oxford & Poole will likely avoid each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Surely 3 friday night clubs won't be in the the same group, it will take things well into October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
