Just an alternative if needed! Or maybe Tuesday if Sweden is finishing up. As Kent and Plymouth ride Tuesday and assuming Kent aren't making the playoffs now, might still be possible though. Weds, Fri, and Saturdays will be used by Champ playoffs. Unless the prem really need to use a Weds and Poole possibly could do  a Sunday instead?

i think the only days we can operate is Sunday & Thursday due to restrictions because of the dogs

Thought that the best crowds for the  PREMIERSHIP play offs (given  a blank canvas and the full co operation from all promoters in the sport)  would be attracted on either a Friday or Saturday.? 

 Admitted the TV coverage would be a problem ....... and track availability seems to be an issue with dog meetings . You would think that once in a season the track could be made avaialble for a major p. off event. ?? After all speedway seems to move to accommodate  major events for dogs bangers stocks etc.

You can have Friday or Saturday, you just won't have a full team for obvious reasons.

With Hans moving out of reserve in October, would it be a brave move to pick Wolves?

I believe the first leg at Monmore would be in September.

Take out your competition when you're at your most strongest.

I think he is saying that they should be protected for the Premier play offs.

Considering most of the teams in the Champ playoffs ride on a Friday, never gonna happen! They will just have to crack on with Mon and Thurs! If the prem want other days available in the playoffs then it needs to be agreed at the AGM in the winter before.

So fans and riders of the 4 teams now are probably not going to find out till next Thursday now which semi they in, home or away first, which team are against with possibly only 4 days notice.

Yes. Looks like normal rules apply! No major announcement, but the usual leak out from those in the know! Sod the fans especially those planning on travelling away. :cry:

I agree can't do it this year but maybe it should be looked at for the future, the prem is the most important competition in British speedway so should be treated as such.
