Also since their rumoured to be picking each other that's an impossibility Apologies for sounding so synical....I do wish Glasgow/Scunthorpe/Redcar/Edinburgh all the best in their attempts/efforts to become Champions. However, I cant believe for one minute that Oxford/Poole will select each other in the Semi stage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we take bonus off Oxford tomorrow doesn't that put Iud ahead of them and more likely to progress also? Well neither do I but that's the rumour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm half hoping Oxford/Poole do select each other, as I'd love to see an Oxford vs Glasgow final! Edited September 7, 2023 by Bojangles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I meant was that it we get better of Oxford over 2 legs once can do it again more then the total league points scenario. With greatest of respect to what is obviously a very successful team, the 8 other champ clubs fans be hoping for a non Poole final! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, fair point, although Oxford were severely weakened in the home fixture with the loss of Schlein after just one race - so not sure you can read too much into the aggregate score. But then there's the Tarasenko factor in Glasgow's favour. And totally agree about Poole. Nothing against them, but it's about time we had a final without them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing about Poole ,love them or hate them , they do provide good entertainment as visitors to most tracks.Bet these Promotions don’t mind them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,699 Posted September 7, 2023 Only in speedway you would get Birmingham Riders guesting for Plymouth and Plymouth riders guesting for Birmingham while fighting each other and ourselves for the last play off spot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,664 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Poole confirm they will be at home next Wednesday 13th September against, as yet, unknown play-off opposition, But all potential play-off clubs are in agreement!! NB, Are there any Danish play-off fixtures next Wednesday that may affect anyone's availability? PS, How's Vissing after his crash in Denmark last night? Zach Cook has had to withdraw from the Wolves team tonight after his heat 14 off at Edinburgh. Edited September 7, 2023 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because a monopoly is no good for the sport. Yes it's up to other teams to improve and beat them but same team winning everything isn't very entertaining in my eyes. I have same feeling towards play offs but since this what we have that's my opinion on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
