crescent girl 1,908 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Edinburgh will pick up the six points tonight that will put them top. I suspect their first pick will be Workington, leaving Somerset to choose Berwick. Edinburgh will then pick Scunthorpe, leaving you with Ipswich. Somerset will also get points tonight, so it won't be settled until the weekend. What might be clearer after tonight is who will be sixth, if Peterborough don't get a win at Plymouth, that'll open the door for Workington. Scunthorpe will be last team picked. Neither of the top two will want them in their section. They're in form, they don't carry a travelling support and are a Friday track, meaning fixture hassles for either choosing club.

Tigerite 319 Posted September 12, 2014 Berwick have a very good side for Owlerton so that was a good win for the Tigers and pity about heat 15 that we didn't take all the points but Bellego was on it all night and super fast. Great performance by Ben who's getting better every meeting at Owlerton and Steady who was excellent as usual and good points from the others, fair to say most people were surprised with the man of the match choice given Nico only scored 3 Regarding the Playoffs, I saw Berwick at Shielfield on Saturday against Scunny and last night and they don't quite look as strong as they did earlier in the season, particulary out of the starting gate. Maybe saving themselves for the playoffs but will need a big improvement to advance past either Edinburgh or Somerset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Looks like that apology I made to those who said Nico would be a decent rider was a bit premature. A 4.24 average so far and I was laughed for saying he'd do well to get 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,060 Posted September 12, 2014 Maybe,but I'm not sure Somerset would want both Ipswich and Scunthorpe Scunthorpe are the form team right now, I`m sure Edinburgh & Somerset will want to avoid them, though with Edinburgh getting 1st pick I think Scunthorpe will end up with Somerset. IMO Edinburgh will pick Berwick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edinburgh have 13pts to race for before the cut off date, there`s every chance they will get all 13 and finish top even with two matches still to race.
