dantodan 314 Posted September 11, 2014 I cannot believe how quickly season 2014 has gone it's the middle of September already. The Diamonds could do with KO cup success as our season has not been one to remember. Hopefully we will get an aggregate win over the tigers otherwise our season is run!

Chewbacca 653 Posted September 11, 2014 Not easy. The Tigers have hit form 2 weeks before the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Quarter. Winners meet Edinburgh in the Semi Final. Thanks. And then the winners of the semi meet Plymouth/Ipswich in the final. Probably heading for an Edinburgh vs Ipswich final then. All the best Rob Edited September 11, 2014 by lucifer sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Lucan 375 Posted September 11, 2014 Quarter. Winners meet Edinburgh in the Semi Final. Just using your post as an example Steve but does this just show what a farcical state speedway fixture planning is in right now, we're in the middle of September and we are still waiting to produce a qualifier to make up the semi finals of a competition that started in May while their opponents for that semi have been in the position of having to wait weeks to find out who they will actually play?

And the League Cup (remember that? The so-called pre-season Comp?) Final has to be run yet! The difficulty about this particular Quarter Final, is, of course, we are both Sunday tracks. We were going to run at Glasgow at 1.30pm and Brough at 7.30pm a few Sunday's ago, but the weather put paid to both matches. Hence the current situation (the 2nd leg at Glasgow is on Sept 28th., mainly due to the PLRC on Sun 21st). Edited September 11, 2014 by Steve Park Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a farce. As Newcastle got a bye, this is actually their first KO Cup match of the season. In mid September. Ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justgotmecpc 1,059 Posted September 11, 2014 agreed as they knocked us back on the double header I bet they wish they hadn't now ?? but the way the rest of our lads rode we'd have still gone through to the semi over the 2 legs even if it did mean a guest at short notice for simon.. so come this Monday hopefully that messers king ludvig lewis k and the king of diamonds ( robbo ) will get 45 to 50 points between them and a nice 8 to 10 from the reserves will do nicely to go back to Glasgow with That was proposed but not accepted by our opposition.

Even moreso then, dont understand why speedway cant organise specific weeks to run the cup ties in and if rain offs occur then ASAP afterward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
