The White Knight 9,039 Posted October 9, 2012 Frostylion And what would you be saying if you finished sixth and won the playoffs ,it wouldnt this crap ,everyone knew the rules before the season and you can say what you like the 2012 premier league champions will be the team that win the playoff ,like it or not I hope that you will take my word for it that I would feel EXACTLY the same about the 'Play Offs' as I do today. Any League Winning Team having lost in the 'Play Offs' has been robbed, be it Newcastle, Redcar, Plymouth or whoever. Saying that they knew the Rules at the start of the Season simply does not wash. It does not make those Rules morally or ethically RIGHT!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted October 9, 2012 Don't you think Lakeside might want him for some home meetings? He's not a Lakeside asset though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet49 314 Posted October 9, 2012 I think it should be a different trophy, Grand Final, maybe. Putting the league leaders straight into the final deprives them of income. Workington 's rugby league team finished 3rd in their division and beat Whitehaven who finished 4th. Barrow, 2nd beat Doncaster who finished top, but because they finished top (or in the top 2, I think) Doncaster got another chance, and beat Workington at Doncaster.They then played Barrow in the Final. These aren't two leg of course but it does give the higher placed teams a better chance. The top 4 were promoted but that's another thing ain't it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comet49 314 Posted October 9, 2012 I put it on here cos the play-offs were on here earlier, just stating what happens in another sport, other's were giving other ideas. Hopefully Rene can be a Comet next year, never been to Newcastle yet so won't comment on track. "2 outta 3 ain't bad" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamonds7 112 Posted October 10, 2012 Where's that confirmed? richie said on sunday when he was interviewed he had signed for lakeside an offer he couldny turn down and he would see in the coming weeks about his premier league place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJC71 388 Posted October 11, 2012 Surely that rules Richie out of riding for Scunthorpe then. There would be little point in signing for a Friday night PL track as he would get hardly any EL meetings. Obviously there will be plenty of interest in Richie but hopefully the promotion will be able to persuade him to return should they get the opportunity. I would think they'll be keen to take Steve as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy19902006 52 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Personally I would like to see Ludvig Lindgren back next year. He is the sort of rider I buy my season ticket for. Sure he has been a bit up and down, but when he is firing he is a joy to watch. I think it was against Sheffield in the PLKOC- I could be wrong like. But him coming off the 4th bend last lap??? Bouncing up onto the inside of the track to overtake someone else. This is the type of rider I pay my money for. From the outside looking in he looks to be a real team player also and a good person to have within Newcastle. By far my favourite rider this year. Given another year I think he will improve even more. Edited October 13, 2012 by speedy19902006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
