Announcement from Wolves. All very odd.

I believe this press release contains as much truth  as the one we get each year after the AGM's telling us how wonderful things are in the sport & how everyone was "on the same page".:D

BV got a really good chance now. 

My concern is that Sheffield will be riding their home leg 4 days after they last rode at home. BV will be riding their home leg 3 and a half weeks after they last rode at home. Could be a leveller.

What looked to becoming a great end to the season with Sheffield and Belle Vue showing a bit of form to challenge Peterborough and Wolves.Still could be a great end.But it has been tarnished imo with this announcement.No way would Wolves have picked Peterborough.Peterborough may have picked Wolves but that's not up for discussion until the league top spot has been sorted.That won't be until tomorrow.

I like how CVS said it is prudent to get the dates known to maximise time for fans,riders etc to prepare for the ties.When was the last time they ever cared about the fans when changing/sorting dates.

More of the opaque decision making and laughable spin that we should I suppose by now be used to.....

Can't get my head round this at all. Makes little sense for Peterborough (Wolves, IMHO, being the team most likely to eliminate the Panthers' biggest problem, Belle Vue) and no sense at all for Wolves. One of the biggest pluses for Wolves this season has been the form of Sam Masters at No.1, but arguably his one awkward track is the Showground. Conversely, who would entertain the possibility of picking a Monmore date against a side featuring track specialists such as Andersen and Harris?

PS: Could this now be Belle Vue's year?!

You don't accept the decision of the planning meeting at face value?

Whatever went on in that meeting has now taken away any reward or advantage to the side who has spent the whole season racing to be top ,  so as to be in a position to choose there path to possibly winning the final and ultimately the title .

Its now an open field for sure

For Sheffield a lot depends on Batch and who is guesting at reserve. Batch hasn't got the Kent meetings to fall back on now, so will be interesting to see how he does!

Would be ironic if BV did win when they are not favourites, considering how many times they didn't win when they were!

It is a bit weird that Rory and Sam struggle at Peterborough, Aussies well known for liking it!

I don't see the fuss. After the latest result Peterborough had v Sheffield I always thought Peterborough was picking Wolves with the 2nd leg at home. 

It makes sense to me anyway.

Peterborough should put away Wolves, Belle Vue will hammer Sheffield. 

 

Peterborough v Belle Vue, the best final in years for me. The best 2 tracks in the country going head to head, potentially away wins at both tracks, who wouldn't want that as a season finale

All to do with logistics, Belle Vue Sheffield, closer for fans to travel =  larger crowds. Same with Wolves and P/Bora. Very unfair on Wolves or P/Bora, depending on who of the 2  finish top, as the choice has been taken away from them. Still think Wolves have enough in reserve to beat P/Bora over the 2 legs, then finish the campaign as champs by beating the winner of the other semi. Hope I am wrong as on paper Belle Vue look the strongest through my rose tintered glasses.:D:D

Wolverhampton v Peterborough is most certainly not a larger crowd than Wolves v Aces or Tigers

also, with Pedersen probably moving to reserve in October. Strange!

Wolves at home in any meeting is not a large crowd
