KEITH M 850 Posted September 27, 2017 I'm sure we all know the answer to that, a little competition called the Champions league.I knew that and totally agree with you, I was just replying to spanner 47 who said BT "don't call the shots" I think they most certainly do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted September 27, 2017 Forecast was dreadful and the projected time for heavy rain got earlier and earlier. Inevitable decision and made in plenty of time to stop any travelling fans. Hopefully Monday in front of the cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted September 27, 2017 If you don't run your regular league fixtures before the cut off then it's tough. BV should be told, run it before Monday or forfeit the tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 27, 2017 If you don't run your regular league fixtures before the cut off then it's tough. BV should be told, run it before Monday or forfeit the tie. I'm quite sure Belle Vue would be willing to do that, but it would mean less than half a Wolves team. Not what you want for a play off semi final. Semi Monday, Final Wednesday/Thursday seems the best way to go now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have it at a neutral track, Belle Vue fans are always on about how they don't have any track advantage! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GregoryM 85 Posted September 27, 2017 With BT not due to broadcast tonight anyway, I suppose we could just forget about lack of dates, rider availability and neutral tracks and revert to the good old fashioned method - declare Swindon Robins as Champions based on the simple fact that they topped the League Table!!

racers and royals 8,736 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Surely the obvious thing to do as BT Sport have announced they are showing Speedway on the 9th(relegation/promotion) is to show Belle Vue v Wolves next Monday and then final on Wed 4th and Mon 9th. then they all can decide on the Prom/Relg match whether they show it on a different date.

False dawn 2,298 Posted September 27, 2017 I did say last week, "Heavens help us if we get rain next week" and guess what? My prediction came true. Good old Sod's Law eh? We do paint ourselves into a corner don't we? Reading the above, we're faced with guests and/or track availability and/or TV "requirements". This is descending into farce.

Why is this always the stock response from speedway fans? Why is it a farce? A meeting has been rained off, it's nothing new. There is plenty of time to run it.
