spt82 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Noticed in a couple of videos that Borke and Pickering posted on Instagram that Cookies bikes weren't in his pit bay when everyone else's were, was it going to be a late r/r announcement or was he there and predicted what was going to happen?

Mr Blobby Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Frustrating cause if you went anywhere within a 10 minute radius of the stadium it was either damp or dry. The usual Armadale microclimate strikes again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickinho Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Anyone know when the rescheduled fixtures will take place and if they will still be a doubleheader?

Expand Poole will be after the cut off as we won’t win that so not entirely fussed about squeezing it in.

Also it would sort out play off picture better as wouldn't have situation missed meetings between those fighting for last position. Would the management committee prefer that or the Poole match as may sort out 1st and 2nd? Could be interesting Expand To me the priority should be ensuring the top 6 clubs are in the play-offs, rather than worrying about 1st / 2nd. After all, to be Champions you have to be able to beat any club over 2 legs, so why would you need an easier path to the final? That being said, given the fuss Poole would make of they missed out on top spot through no fault of their own, the BSPL may find themselves siding with Poole / extending the cut-off date again?
