thecoombdog 2,367 Posted September 28, 2017 Id love to get through and whoop your arses. But if wolves win then so be it. It will have to be them to whoop your arses. You have been spouting for months about how overrated we are and how everyone will beat us in the play offs. Yet we hammered Poole after losing around 15 points in stupid falls and i fancy us to do you boys easy. Doyley and BWD back means we will prob win both legs if its you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted September 28, 2017 For someone trying to claim pedantry you're doing a poor job.  This is simple, are Poole in the play-offs? No. The rule says, "No Rider, whose Team is in the Play-Offs may appear as a Guest in the Play-Offs." not, "No Rider, whose Team was in the Play-Offs may appear as a Guest in the Play-Offs". It another example of the crap rulebook, but reading it as written, the rulebook says that Hans can guest for Poole. This meeting is a play-off semi final, to which Poole were also ‘in’. Unfortunately the weather intervened. Agree the rule is poorly written but you know what it is supposed to mean. Isn’t that all that matters? Or would you prefer to see a rider ko’d in one semi final and guest in the other? Request to BSPA to change the word ‘in’ to ‘qualify’. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree the rule is poorly written but you know what it is supposed to mean. Isnt that all that matters? Or would you prefer to see a rider kod in one semi final and guest in the other? Request to BSPA to change the word in to qualify.As you say Poole WERE in the play offs. At the time of this fixture they are not in. How are we supppsed to know what they mean? If they wanted it to mean any team who had qualified for the play offs that was easy enough to specify - but they didn't. So it is just guesswork to say what the intention was. It could be argued the intention was simply to stop a rider from influencing who his side would meet in the final? In which case SCBs interpretation, based on meaning in everyday use, is consistent with the intent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted September 28, 2017 Unfortunately I don't think Belle Vue will come back from the first leg regardless of Thorsells injury, which I believe means Swindon will win by a country mile in the final, regardless of who they are against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the rule should not change because it rained.The rule hasn't changed though?What's changed is some of the riders who are eligible to guest. Which is the case with most rained off meetings?
