The Friday tracks have a strict pecking order.  Edinburgh is first, l'm not sure who comes next - maybe Scunny?   But what this means is that, if drawn against each other, the 'senior' club will ride on Friday, and their opponents will probably race the return leg off-night.

That's only if they have an off race night

Majority of teams have a limited off- night facility.

1. Edinburgh 2. Scunthorpe 3. Glasgow 4. Redcar is the pecking order, I believe.  Although another factor is whether the team above in the league table wants first or second leg at home.  In that case, they may have to move off race-night to accommodate that. That's probably not an issue, since the four Fridays teams set to take place in the play-offs are almost in reverse order in the table to their priority. 

I think the first-round (quarter-finals) ideally need to be held on the weekend of October 1st-3rd and the semi-finals the weekend after that, to allow time for a couple of rain offs somewhere.

Not for any of the Friday night tracks involved. Edinburgh are the ones likely to stick to Fridays and even they have the capacity to run on a Saturday, if needed.  I don't think the other three tracks have restrictions to race-nights at all.

I know Edinburgh have the facility but like you say not keen to use it.

Glasgow can use any night(I Think).

Let's not forget SON is on one of those Friday's in October too!

SON is on Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th not the Friday. 

Please don't confuse things even more, folk av been confused enuff over the start time. 

Looking at the teams in the play offs & possible teams in them, a Friday play off before the SON is possible because travel distance is feasible on the Saturday for getting on a train. Altho it may be best to leave that Friday clear? 

I guess my team Poole will stick to Wednesday for home fixtures.
