Perton Wolf 396 Posted August 27, 2017 Wolves have had a lot of away losses this season yes but I think we've lost by 1 point 3 times and picked up a consolation point more times than not. If we can keep the away leg deficit down to 6 points or less come the playoffs then I'd usually be confident of bettering that at Monmore. Swindon will be the favourites with Rye House as the dark horses, especially if KK can be bothered (which it looks like he is now he's not in a Poole uniform) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swindon will be the favourites with Rye House as the dark horses, especially if KK can be bothered (which it looks like he is now he's not in a Poole uniform) And Rye, if they beat Poole to 4th, being dark horses could be the reason, if Swindon end up at the top may pick BV in the semis.

Perton Wolf 396 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) And Rye, if they beat Poole to 4th, being dark horses could be the reason, if Swindon end up at the top may pick BV in the semis.I still think Swindon will pick whoever finishes 4th which should be Rye but who knows what Rosco is thinking. Either way, I can see all playoff legs and ties as a whole being very competitive, unlike the BV/Lakeside farce last season.

g13webb 4,254 Posted August 29, 2017 I had hoped Lynn would play an important part in the play-off, But the only part they will play is who will get that 4th place. Both RH and Poole have both to play Lynn H&A and these results will have a massive bearing of who gets that last place. My gut feeling says it will be RH who seem to be more of a units than Poole and will be harder to beat. It wouldn't surprise me if they both beat Lynn twice in both matches. If RH do get through, then Swindon will pick BV, leaving Wolves to battle against RH. Swindon wont relish going to RH We could have a few surprises left this season YET!!

Do you mean that none of the PO teams will fancy a visit to RH? I am not sure that it would just be Swindon who would give Rye a wide berth if they had the choice?

Failing that they would have to ride at home first.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tric trac 53 Posted August 29, 2017 Not sure they can if it's been agreed with BT. If it's a bags meeting ( which it is) they may be under some sort of contract with the bookmakers... Hopefully a compromise would be reached.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted August 29, 2017 And what about the relegation & promotion play off? No idea when the Championship cut off is, but would guess that the relegation/promotion matches will be the week after the Prem play off finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2 11,150 Posted August 29, 2017 Rye now 1 point behind Poole with a home match in hand & their last two home matches are Swindon & Leicester. Will Swindon have a say in who finishes fourth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted August 29, 2017 Assuming Rye get 4th. Swindon will choose BV and I think Swindon will win both legs. Wolves will beat Rye House heavy enough at home to go through on aggregate. Wolves will dominate Swindon at home and they will lose at Swindon but will win the title on aggregate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
