dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted October 13, 2022 I'm hoping for a meeting that drags on a bit and ends level on aggregate Let's see if the curfew kicks in then and prevents the superheat to decide the title.... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that is true, there are losses but I am not convinced any team runs many meetings at a loss. The play offs, because they are generally well supported are money spinners and sponsors like them because of TV and press coverage. If a team isn't in the playoffs, it doesn't mean that team is automatically loss making. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield may even "do a Belle Vue" and find some way to bring Szmarzlick in as a late reserve. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do keep up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Golden Heats format is only in the Championship In Premiership League Cup, after the conclusion of a 2 legged tie the scores are level, a Super Heat will be used to determine the winner. I believe in League (not Cup) we will see Golden Heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,119 Posted October 13, 2022 It appears that Belle Vue have used an old average for Brennan on their preview for tonight's final so it looks like he should be at reserve. You would have thought they could have got that correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have thought they could have got that correct. Clarification here please. Is it being suggested that BV 'fixed' his average to get him demoted to reserve, and hence eligible for seven rides? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No not saying that, it just has the wrong average on the preview but still has him riding at number 4 so nothing dodgy just it looks like with the average listed he should be at reserve.

bellevueace 916 Posted October 13, 2022 16 hours ago, TINYS said: Sheffield finished higher in the league than Belle Vue so they deserve to win, play offs are just a money spinner. Ive always thought the team that finishes top at the end of the regular season should be crowned champions and im not changing my opinion because my team are involved, we have finished top and lost out too, injury again. Obviously i want the Aces to win but it wont feel the same as winning over the full season and sitting on top of the pile. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's not forget though that the fixtures weren't even completed, so Ipswich could have still finished top... We will never know. Still can't believe in a 6 team league with a really decent summer fixtures weren't completed. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
