Therefore every race is a different level to championship Of course there is a difference. But the leagues are prob the closest they have ever been. That's why lots of fans pass comments on Batch and so on if they ride in one league miles better than the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted September 5, 2021 Such sad news. Bob was a lovely chap and a huge speedway fan and at Oxford neatly every week in 2007 when Brendan Johnson was riding for us. Saw him at Poole just a couple of weeks ago for the Poole v Scunny meeting. RIP Bob. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I was chatting to him on Friday night and he seemed fine and his usual self. I have known him for 30 years. This is a terrible shock. A very knowledgable and passionate speedway fan. Will be hugely missed. R.I.P. Bob. Edited September 5, 2021 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 862 Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) By my reckoning Pirates are now practically assured of a top 2 spot even with Glasgow winning at Berwick and getting 4pts. Tigers can only equal our 46pts but the For/Against race pts difference would av to take a massive swing for Tigers to pass us even if we were to lose to Redcar at home.......but od course we'll beat Redcar anyway so no more squeaky bums! I don't know if anyone else as noticed/mentioned this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Edited September 12, 2021 by PirateShip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If points difference is still used when deciding who is above who when level on points? It could be on points scored? However if it is points difference then Glasgow currently on +88 and Poole are +192. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
