marron 7 Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah, Bears' chances look pretty slim as we're carrying at least 1 passenger in all meetings. As someone said earlier, it looks like any chance we had of success was lost when Kozza's visa didn't get sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted August 4, 2014 Still don't understand the logic of play offs, at the end of the season the team with the most points is the winner. If it is used to stretch the season out, then the league structure is set up wrong, change it to we meet each other twice home & away. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total farce, Berwick had 2 meetings in May and 2 meetings in June, then 2 weeks in Sept and 2 weeks in Oct are taken up by The Play Offs. Everyone then sits back and wonder why we caanot get the rain offs fitted in. Needs to get a proper structure, the powers that be, need the proverbial kick up the backside.

The White Knight 9,039 Posted August 4, 2014 No need to apologise - we've been struggling since Kozza cocked up his visa and then really struggling when someone thought Konopka was a suitable replacement Whatever happened to Joni Keskinen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have had problems with either a straight league title, or the Playoffs version, with the number of rain off meetings you have had. Despite the 'only in Speedway' comment being used once again, a previous thread on here demonstrated the widescale use of playoffs in many varies sports across the sports world. Moan about anything and everything, 'only in speedway'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted August 4, 2014 panthers wouldn't have stood a cat in hells chance of making the play offs with schlein , What and you think they improved with RR for Fisher and a woeful performing DRYML. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar's chances of reaching the Play-Offs were over long before they ever signed Smith. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Well Panthers beat Edinburgh comfortably enough. And I seem to remember Dryml top scoring. Edited August 4, 2014 by TheScotsman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is used to stretch the season out, then the league structure is set up wrong, change it to we meet each other twice home & away. Agree with this, the best team is surely the team with the most points when all the PL fixtures have been raced, surely they are the true Champions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not if the play-off criteria is agreed by everyone from the off . The League competition is actually only a qualifying competition . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted August 4, 2014 Not if the play-off criteria is agreed by everyone from the off . The League competition is actually only a qualifying competition . Absolutely, all the teams know the rules before the off, but I still cant get my head around how it is right that a team that finishes sixth can be crowned Champions, of course it happens in other sports and seems to be the modern way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
