scunny1 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Not much interest in this one so it seems? Both sides with normal 1 to 7s. With Glasgow rained off and winds blowing rain clouds towards Edinburgh, will it go ahead? Hoping for the Scorpions to steal a win ,or at least keep it close, so we can win the 2nd leg.

Macca Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Beaten by the better team. That’s it. No lack of effort from our boys, and fair play to Scunny. Hope Sedgy is okay! Thought Howarth’s move on Picko was hard but fair. Sure they’ll have kissed and made up already, Sheffield fans!! Lambert cleaning out Lasse and Connor, and Lasse getting excluded was another Dishington special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 When is the 2nd leg though? I notice the previously announced 6th September now has Scunny facing Poole in the KOC SF. Surely it can’t be the week after either with Edinburgh already hosting Scunny in the NL and actually hosting a double header that night. That’s far too many riders missing at Armadale to make that meeting viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that three teams are due in action at Armadale on the 13th but suspect the BSPL chairman could not be bothered about the NDL matches being mucked about again if 13th is set as 2nd leg.

Not great by any means. 16 meetings with good fixture planning should be quite achievable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if teams agree to use their alternative race nights when racing fellow Friday nighters AND NDL fixtures are staged on their own separate nights and don't block Championship meetings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem being other teams won't rearrange meetings if riders are injured or racing elsewhere which is probably the reason the league fixtures aren't completed yet (despite only having 8 league fixtures to fit in).

Yes, only having 8 league fixtures to-do shocking most haven't when they say at the start of the season what the cut off date is they should stick to it.
