INCOGNITO 357 Posted August 23, 2018 Top four look sorted now with Swindon, Wolves and Leicester ending their season by the first week of September. With the loss of the Rye House meetings and no play offs, what savings have fans from these clubs made by getting season tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted August 24, 2018 I understand we still have 2meetings to arrange before that cut off day, one against Rebels away, and the other against Leicester at home. I've seen it mention on here that we turn our arranged fixture with Leicester into another 'Double Header'. Has that been officially announced yet, or it that just 'Pie in the sky' We are fast running out of days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,616 Posted August 24, 2018 It might be in the Stars' best interest to not race the outstanding fixtures (particularly the away one at Somerset) - especially if their top 4 position is safe?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 5,993 Posted August 24, 2018 When is the cut off?? Also, do you still get fined if you don't complete your fixtures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cut off for the Premiership is Monday 10th September. The last time in 2016 when the senior league fixtures werent all completed (Lions v Stars) I am told there were fines but no award of points, so presume the same applies this season.

Personally I don't think Poole will finish top anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we should have Poole in the semi-finals. Beat them and the chances of winning the league is easier, also, it'll be easier to take the defeat in the semis than it would in the final. Always the best option to take on your toughest challenge as early as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
