I'm not aware of teams being fined for failing to complete fixtures before the cut-off date before despite numerous examples of matches staged after the cut-off date.

Sure KL were at one point but prob changed now as didn't stop teams finishing after cut off so not much point.

So what happens about top spot, its not going to be fare either way 

Dont worry. It wont affect top spot as the meeting must go ahead or Edinburgh will. forfeit the points.   Otherwise there would be no point of league meetings and we can all go directly to playoffs.

Course you won't. We didn't get the points from Plymouth last season when was completed after cut off, no one ever has. Won't change just because it affects Poole this year

Meeting will go ahead just might not be before the cut off, but will definitely be run .Nobody will be forfeiting points daft suggestion.

All this fitting meetings in extending cut off dates what about all the missed race nights earlier in the season (not just Edinburgh) every club had plenty free weeks the fixtures were a shambles from the get go .The same every season lessons not been learnt.

Same every season, big lull in the summer with no matches then crazy run into Autumn when weather has a lot to play. Couldn't even get 8 home matches in. How did we manage in the past when there were 18 or 19 in the league

In Scotland when does Summer start/finish and when does Autumn begin?  We're only in August!!

So Poole want a brand new rule - changed mid-season, purely for their benefit . 

 

Or did Edinburgh make it rain?

Are you worried that you will be in the group of death with us and Redcar

Yes lol. Although the crowd levels will be better for those meetings rather than against Scunny or Edinburgh/Brum. So if I was the accountant or Bank Manager I would welcome the group of death ha.
