Big Al 708 Posted September 30, 2021 I think the sooner the speedway season is over, the better. This extra round of playoffs has been unnecessary and is only serving to drag things out, weather fast deteriorating, rider availability problems, and the fuel crisis is bound to have an impact as it carries on for a few more weeks at least. It's time for a decision to be made, which is to reduce it down to a Poole v Glasgow final, and the KOCup final if possible. Otherwise the risk of it all going into chaos is too high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As sad and discouraging as that sounds, I will no doubt still make the trip, clutching on to every last little bit of hope there is 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could be getting on with the semi finals now and have a decent chance of the final being done by mid month before tracks become too problematic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) On reading the events of this last 24 hours, it takes me back to 2012 when we lost (if memory is right) Jorgensen & Howe & Morris injured in play off groups, had to use guests for the last few meetings & we know how that turned out. If only history could repeat itself. Edited September 30, 2021 by IronScorpion wrong rider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was a pointless extension IMO. Don't see play offs and KO cup getting finished this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 591 Posted September 30, 2021 Agree 100%. Sides that pushed on with meetings will now have a bigger chance of rain offs in October and potentially lose money on a rain off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
