foreverblue 6,096 Posted July 27, 2015 I would laugh if Coventry find themselves in Poole position of winning going into 10 and wanted it to carry on while Lakeside want it off. Would show everyone up. Your forgetting Davey Watt likes riding in the rain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted July 27, 2015 I doubt it will rain tonight so you won't have that to worry about. Worry? I'd laugh. And it might be just what is needed to show it up as a joke. The issue is NOT getting to heat 10, the issue is ONLY getting to heat 10 when the losing team needs the other 5 heats to try and win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has to a cut off though or you just get endless postponements and means the public still get short changed as they wouldn't refund for the original 10 heat meeting would they.

So you only allow the losing team to request a track inspection. You know, like at all meetings that take place that are not on Sky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted July 27, 2015 Do you think if The Pirates or Bees finish top of the table the powers at Sky will allow them to pick each other in the Semi Finals ? Team that finishes top get the choice. Nothing to do with Sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted July 27, 2015 Do you think if The Pirates or Bees finish top of the table the powers at Sky will allow them to pick each other in the Semi Finals ? Coventry and Poole wouldn't pick each other as they know a Coventry/Poole final brings in a crowd. The only way I could ever see either club not wanting that is if Coventry could have a final against Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted July 27, 2015 The advantage is that you can have the second leg at home. But if you have finished top to be able to pick the team in 2nd, you can have the 2nd leg at home anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) It's great finishing top but at the end of the day you still have to race two of the teams out of the three in the play offs anyway to win the league. Edited July 27, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted July 27, 2015 Prediction Time: Lakeside at home are far stronger than their record shows. Apart from month blip, early in the season, have performed a lot better of late, so not the foregone conclusion some are suggesting. Should be a close match and expect the Bees to push them close. Could be good television...... AJ is the obvious trump card, but Lawson and Kennett go well on the tight track. The result to hinge on heats 13 and 15 where AJ will probably rule. Tight home win, with Bees getting a consultation point..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
