Championship Shield Semi-Final Qualification is a Sham

[jenga 2,998]

it was until you came on . ha , ha , ha .

Now we have our four qualifiers how long will it be before we actually find out who plays whom, where and when? 

Going to be tricky considering that all of these team's have ongoing excuses for not riding without their full complement of rider's available? 

End of the season maybe?

I would like to think Workington draw Lakeside in the semi finals so they can redeem themselves after the thrashing they got there in the league match.

wouldnt we all .. but i can see it being a cost thing

Lakeside were in the same group as Peterborough so I can't see them drawing each other in the semis , does anyone know when the draw is ?

With the number of Home fixtures Workington still have to run be lucky if they can fit it in this season

[Lord Lucan 375]

I would think Comets v Peterborough as our best/better option being as we have riders that like to go AWOL at the other two, at least this way one of those tracks will be removed from our equation!!

Should've just had the winners of each group going into a 3TT final like they had in the eighties and nineties, then we wouldn't have all the arguments about who the better second place team is.

Maybe the final s/f spot should've been decided in alphabetical order.......   

 

"Ooooh yesss!  But REVERSE alphapetical order..." comes the cry from South Yorkshire

Good idea, I always enjoyed the craven shield 3tt finals.

It's all about the money, two semi's and a final = six extra fixtures altogether this way v one final after the group stages....decent idea nonetheless!!

[Bash 496]

I thought this year was all about saving money, with each team having a leg of the final in a 3TT each team would only have 1 meeting less if they made it through to the final as the format is now.

[Lord Lucan 375]

When you put it like that there is a certain simplicity to the logic!!
