Play-off picks

His GSA on the British Speedway site is 5.89. Seems there are a few competing figures.

It's definitely more than 5 and less than 6!

I guess from Sept it will change anyway. Good job Poland did this before the end of August cut off otherwise it would have been r/r for the playoffs. Doesn't give you a lot of time though, 8 days? 

Edit - suppose if cut off is 28th August, you can't use Sept averages.

My preference would be to cover until Polish playoffs are done, but they won't do that.

That has really spoilt my day.

I heard about it last night at the meeting , no response from the club to confirm or deny but I suspect it may well be the case Marcin has had his hand forced by his Polish club and has departed.

Would that be classed as witholding though? Especially if Polish meetings not on same day as Glasgow ones? 

There are ways round it though, but are you advocating for Glasgow to be weakened due to something out with their control. ?

I see his club won 70-20 this week so probably fancy chances of promotion (assuming that's still a thing in Poland) and like you say have told him he's no longer permitted to ride in Britain. Sad because I think he dropped the division this season to allow him the full season for Glasgow

No, just trying to work out the rules lol. I guess it really depends on how many meetings he would be missing maximum wise. Although having a Pole good chance this is going to happen?

So unless oxford win at Glasgow (unlikely imo), Poole get choice of opponents. They will definitely pick Edinburgh/Birmingham but will they pick Scunny or Redcar..... I guess it will be Scunny.

If I was Poole. I would go left field and pick Glasgow and Scunthorpe.

You're right enough the rest of us should just throw the towel in now :rolleyes:. Also since their rumoured to be picking each other that's an impossibility 

Apologies for sounding so synical....I do wish Glasgow/Scunthorpe/Redcar/Edinburgh all the best in their attempts/efforts to become Champions.

However, I cant believe for one minute that Oxford/Poole will select each other in the Semi stage!

If we take bonus off Oxford tomorrow doesn't that put Iud ahead of them and more likely to progress also?

Well neither do I but that's the rumour

No, Oxford are seven points clear of Glasgow, and Glasgow only have two matches left. Oxford on 33, max Glasgow can get is 32.

I'm half hoping Oxford/Poole do select each other, as I'd love to see an Oxford vs Glasgow final!

What I meant was that it we get better of Oxford over 2 legs once can do it again more then the total league points scenario.

With greatest of respect to what is obviously a very successful team, the 8 other champ clubs fans be hoping for a non Poole final!

What about an Oxford v Redcar Final though if that happened.
