Sure KL were at one point but prob changed now as didn't stop teams finishing after cut off so not much point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Not saying it’s right, but if Edinburgh beat Birmingham and Oxford beat Glasgow, there won’t really be any necessity to stage this meeting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
