League Cup Final Sheffield v Kings Lynn

Recommended Posts

With Sheffield now riding every Monday and Thursday between now and the 12th September, also add in the need to race the Wolves league fixture before whatever cut off date the BSPA has come up with then the play offs and final, along with the rearranged British Final we are probably looking at late October before this fixture can be fitted in 

With six teams in the league it’s a joke that we have to have a cup final in late October

Yes can’t understand why we don’t have a home meeting every week in late July and August when kids are off school and a lot of people on holiday at sunny hunny

Looks like it's Peterborough's turn this year ......

What are the current options for this?

Stage the final leg at at Sheffield in November?

Stage the final leg at a neutral track sometime?

Award it to Sheffield as they are currently leading, and likely to win?

Award it to Kings Lynn, for Sheffield being unable to complete the fixture?

Quietly forget about it, and hope nobody notices?

Announce it will not be completed and take the criticism?

Finish it next year?

Any other ideas?

Thought 31st October was last day of the season but might be wrong.

There's probably a tiddlywinks convention booked for the bar or something similar....

I thought the same, and I having been expecting that been the date set for the 2nd leg.

If that is not the case and the 2nd leg is not ridden then I think that the Kings Lynn should be awarded the trophy.

The Championship playoff final wasn't done til 3rd/4th Nov last year. But think you have to pay more in insurance to do that?

Don’t forget that championship clubs don’t ride on a Monday or Thursday night but how many Mondays or Thursdays have we had where all six teams have been riding…….very few

Just 3 times, although Postponements restricted 3 more occasions.

Stolen our race night! Lol. Not sure if Poole are planning to run jubilee meeting against Leicester or not? Nothing being announced yet. Was supposed to be today before playoff final was rained off last week. 

Edit - is there a reason Sheffield can't run on Thurs 3rd? Is there more Nov meetings to be run lol.

3 Aussies in the 2 teams maybe 1 or more have flights home booked 

Sheffield or Lynn have an end of season party booked before Aussies fly home 

If the season officially ends on Oct 31st then its a free for all when they run

Premiership trophy takes preference over a championship trophy that has become a complete farce
