King Jamie 356 Posted September 25, 2021 11 hours ago, Endeavour said: Why can’t Redcar and Edinburgh have their matches next week if 4th and 5th. If not possible and we qualify for next round of cup surely we could race at least one leg of the cup match against Glasgow. I trust the one leg of the cup match against Glasgow would be the away leg? Given that we're not at Birmingham 'til Wednesday night, it wouldn't exactly leave much time to produce a programme for Friday, let alone trying to sell hospitality space, etc. Regardless, the BlueBus Bears will be in town. Roll on Friday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monarchs2468 83 Posted September 26, 2021 As an old schooler I'll never ever take 100% satisfaction from the play off format. However, well done Poole on finishing 1st. Thoroughly deserved. Monarchs road to greatness is Redcar, Poole then Leicester/Glasgow. It's a real long shot and an awful lot would have to break right so highly unlikely.

Not 100% that would be the case, as far as I’m aware Poole get to choose who they face in the semi haven’t seen anywhere confirmed they would pick the Monarchs/Redcar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as we all know we don’t know. Edited September 26, 2021 by Gazc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott0311 94 Posted September 26, 2021 From the BSPA website. Read it as Poole cannot pick Glasgow - PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS- The quarter-finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 4th v 5th placed team, the top two teams will go direct to the semi-final.- The team who finishes top will have the pick of the quarter-final winners in the semi-finals.- All ties are over two legs. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,032 Posted September 26, 2021 Tbh I am pretty confident we wouldn't have picked Glasgow even if we were allowed. Surely plan has to be: avoid Leicester and Glasgow til the final, if we get that far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
