As the earlier post states, Poole get the choice of which quarter-final winner they will race against in the semi-final -- they will not be able to choose Glasgow, who will not have contested the quarter-finals. Poole also have choice of holding first or second leg of their semi (and final, if they progress). As quoted, this is all listed in rule-book: 012.1.1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 79 Posted September 27, 2021 Thank you, wasn’t sure if league rules applied or if it went to cup rules, more confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully go back to Redcar and prove a point. Weather forecast not looking great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Jamie 350 Posted September 27, 2021 It would be nothing short of farce and a major embarrassment for speedway if Edinburgh were to win the league this season. I know we must all bow down to the insane American obsession of back door winners and second chances aplenty but any team finishing a distant fifth during the qualifying campaign shouldn't even be given the opportunity to plunge yet another dagger into the heart of a once beautiful sport. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
