Sensible from a sporting point of view but not from a business point of view which is what the play offs are really about Better to finish 2/3 than top as a 50-50 chance of getting an extra 2 bumper crowd meetings No loss at all if knocked out as still get the 1 extra same as the table toppers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense to drop down. No local derbies on bank Holidays, watered down product in the Championship that would see attendances take a hit. Basically no point in Tomlain buying the club just to throw away his own money and run at a big loss. Pretty sure we're in the Prem and the AGM statement is just being delayed so they can release it on SpeedwayStar day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted November 16, 2022 Out side the box idea, is it worth while having a Play-Off score advantage? 1st +10 2nd +5 3rd +0 4th +0 The score advantage is only available for the away leg. Semi-Final 1, 1st (+10) vs 4th (+0) Semi-Final 2, 2nd.(+5) vs 3rd (+0) The score advantage then rolls over to the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel Tolley at Birmingham doesn't seem to have any problems with throwing away his own money and running at a big loss.... Maybe it's a criteria of the BSPL nowadays...

PL - Some concerns raised about a specific issue needed to be solved re PL. CL totally different ,and its more change to plans, as will be seen when announcement is made. Word is that all sorted with CL but waiting to announce both tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could catch could catch some promoters out and affect their decision making. That could be "musical chairs" after their initial tea & biscuits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted November 16, 2022 Possibly, after all the monthly meetings at Rugby & the AGM is all about "dotting the i's & crossing the t's", a team(s) has been put together which other promoters are not happy about as they did not think that this scenario could happen hence extra time being required, all in the eyes of self precedence.
