Steve Shovlar Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) So Pirates finish top of the league after the exciting encounter tonight at Glasgow, where the Tigers fairly easily saw off Oxford Cheetahs. So Poole get the pick and have announced the first leg of the playoffs is against Scunthorpe And will take place Wednesday 13th September at Wimborne Road. Tickets now on sale. Guess we will find out shortly who the first team will be. Forecast shows a lovely dry day with afternoon sunshine. With three teams in each group it could really come down to aggregate scores. It’s important to keep it tight on the road. Edited September 9, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 So Poole win the league, fair play to them and I would imagine there going to pick Edinburgh plus 1. I also see they have announced a meeting for Wednesday so if there going to announce who they picked Tommorow what if the other teams can’t make Wednesday as there only being informed Tommorow is it a case of Poole jumping the gun or everyone having to jump to Poole’s tune.

Steve Shovlar Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Pretty sure the team who is coming already know who they are or have been advised should Poole finish top they will be here on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Poole and Oxford have already discussed their preferences, whatever the outcome of tonight's fixtures. It may well be that (say) Scunthorpe already knew they would be riding on 13th - just not wether it would be at Poole or Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Oxford have arranged a meeting on the same night, so obviously Poole and Oxford not in the same group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) The common sense choice for Poole would be Edinburgh and Redcar. Imo. Edited September 8, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't decide between Redcar and Scunny. Redcar have always had a HL missing when at Poole, so hard to judge. If you look at the riders individually I guess Scunny slightly stronger at Poole.

Well I suppose there is no chance of Poole picking Oxford or Glasgow let them two play each other as regards to this Tarasenko chap what a good bit of business that could be straight out of Matt Ford's cunning plans not sure he ever got a premier rider on a 5 average but we'll done Glasgow but can be ride Oxford and Wimborne Road time will tell.

Scunthorpe are good on their own patch and ripped Glasgow apart last week. We ride Redcar better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Ford's and the senior riders have already decided who we play good to finish top though after building a new side this year is it money that makes us build good teams well I suppose of it was by all accounts Glasgow would be top or just the Ford's knowledge and the chance to ride at Poole.

Poole didn't win the league, they topped the qualifying table. I think that should mean they are league champions, but they are not (yet?) I don't think the jumped the gun announcing a match on Wednesday, for example Redcar & Scunthorpe may have both agreed to go to Poole or Oxford on Wednesday, depending who picked them. You'd think Poole would choose Edinburgh, but I really can't decide between Redcar & Scunthorpe, who is the better option to race against? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh and Scunthorpe would be my choices for Poole.Think they would beat Scunthorpe at home easier than Redcar.Is their bonus points included in play offs ?
