It is a body of persons that form the BSPA Committee & the promoters had a meeting the other week. No, but that one man acts like the Pied Piper, closely followed by his trusty fellow friends from nearby. FACT. Cannot come to any other conclusion I'm afraid. What vested interest would those fine upstanding citizens of the Committee have in destroying a previously agreed set of fixtures, and potentially Workington's whole existence as a club other than agreeing with the ringleader(s)?? Nothing was said when the fixtures were agreed and everyone thought that Workington were no-hopers. Now they have won a few meetings away from home, and certain clubs need a miracle to get in the top 4, the only way to stop Workington qualifying is to curtail their home meetings.

TonyE 822 Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) A further update: Workington H5 A8 +12 Lakeside H7 A7 +11 Peterborough H9 A8 +11 Edinburgh H6 A8 +7 Glasgow H7 A7 +6 Ipswich H7 A8 +2 Berwick H10 A7 +1 Newcastle H7 A6 0 Scunthorpe H8 A8 -3 Redcar H8 A9 -7 Sheffield H10 A8 -15 Provided Workington can get their home meetings in, it looks very much like three of the top four are more or less done and dusted. Crucial weekend for the two Scottish teams - here's hoping that all riders stay safe this weekend. Edited August 24, 2018 by TonyE 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tapeworm 168 Posted August 25, 2018 10 hours ago, TheScotsman said: Should Ippo not be +4 not +6? No. I calculate that two 4 point away wins plus two 2 point away draws less two 3 point home losses = +6. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you're right - my brain didn't register they have 2 away draws not 2 points worth of away draws. My apologies.

Tapeworm 168 Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) As at Sunday 2nd September, also showing remaining fixtures and dates where known:- 1 Workington +12 - Red(H) 8th, New(H) 8th, Pet(H) 14th, New(A) 16th, Lak(H) TBA 2= Peterborough +11 - Lak(A) 8th, Ber(H) 9th, Wor(A) 14th. 2= Lakeside +11 - Edin(A) 7th, Pet(H) 8th, Gla(H) 14th, New(H) 15th, Wor(A) TBA 4 Edinburgh +8 - Lak(H) 7th, Gla(A) 11th, Ber(H) 14th. 5= Ipswich +6 - Gla(A) 4th, Ber(H) 6th, Gla(H) 13th. 5= Glasgow +6 - Ips(H) 4th, Edi(H) 11th, Ips(A) 13th, Lak(A) 14th. 7= Berwick 0 - Ips(A) 6th, Pet(A) 9th, Edi(A) 14th. 7= Newcastle 0 - Wor(A) 8th, Scu(H) 9th, Lak(A) 15th, Wor(H) 16th. 9 Scunthorpe -6 - New(A) 9th. 10 Redcar -7 - She(H) 7th, Wor(A) 8th. 11 Sheffield -14 - Red(A) 7th. E&OE Cut off for play-offs is at midnight on 16th. A few teams will be praying for no rain offs of home fixtures, especially Workington on 8th and Lakeside on 14th/15th, as unconcluded home fixtures will count as -3 each on this table, and there are few options for re-staging. Could be quite a rumpus coming from Cumbria after their enforced mid-season fixtures alterations! Squeaky derriere time!
