sammyjo13 1 Posted October 8, 2012 Is the PL play offs a fair way to end the season? Should the rule where the champions are those at the top of league not be reinstated instead of all this, you ride against this team and this team against this one What do you all think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted October 9, 2012 Ride a 6 month long season, playing everyone home and away, then give the championship trophy to the team that is lucky enough to have a full side out in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montie 1,273 Posted October 9, 2012 Ride a 6 month long season, playing everyone home and away, then give the championship trophy to the team that is lucky enough to have a full side out in October. How do you no the championship will go to a team that are full strength? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted October 9, 2012 In general, not this season. Obviously, 3 Scunthorpe riders and some guests could well win it this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarletrider 66 Posted October 9, 2012 Top is top, they are the champs, not 2nd 3rd 4th or any other! "The Mackem" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondsRock 79 Posted October 9, 2012 Should the rule where the champions are those at the top of league not be reinstated instead of all this, you ride against this team and this team against this one What do you all think? Of course. But I'd imagine the supporter's of the 2nd - 6th place teams would feel differently for some reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 895 Posted October 9, 2012 the time for this argument is before the season starts we all new all the way through the season what the score was so just accept that the league champions are the winners from the play off final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squall 270 Posted October 9, 2012 The ranting about this is just boring now. Change the record please! Clubs are struggling financially all over the country world, and playoffs bring in some much needed income. Last years NL playoff final was 2 of the best meetings seen all season (going on hearsay, I only attended the 1st leg). What do I pay to see? Exciting speedway racing. That's what I got in that meeting last year, and last week, in the pointless crap trophy, Sheffield and Rye House served up some of the best racing I've seen at Owlerton all season. I must be one of these strange people who are so busy enjoying watching this spectator sport I don't have time to worry about anything and everything. Playoffs, double points, silencers, foreigners stopping all the highly talented Brits from getting a team - who the hell gives a toss? Don't hit the face... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted October 9, 2012 Rules are rules....and we all knew them, maybe in future the top team should go straight to the final, as to finish just above mid table yet be able to be champions is daft....you can cheat early doors and fly up the league....coventrys success was only good because the beat Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backless 538 Posted October 9, 2012 Simple enough the way it used to be: straight knock out. Groups can easily lead to dead matches like Newcastle v Leicester and, if Somerset win on Friday, Leicester v Somerset this coming Saturday. Title decide between top 4 not 6, which at least leaves some decent teams in the YS / PCT instead of the dross this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backless 538 Posted October 9, 2012 Ah, but as you'll find out if you head to Derwent Park on Saturday, Edinburgh are in the play-offs rather than the PCT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
