Like I said could all be over by the 19th of August with 2 and a half months of the season still to go! Pretty much like last season... PL seems it's run just for TV at times and not the fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how the fixtures are worked out, but if a team is in a close battle to make the playoffs it seems a bit unfair to have your last 3 matches all away !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PL seems it's run just for TV at times and not the fans They have to finish the Premiership Final before the Championship final can take place and likewise the NDL final can only take place once the Championship final has taken place. I believe the reasoning behind this is that they dont want a rider to get injured in a lesser final and then be unable to ride in a more senior final.

So if the Prem play-off is rained off an already scheduled Champ plaY off final must be postponed. If true one of the most ludicrous suggestions ever.

Looking solid if not spectacular at the moment, the 8th man (as it were) at Leicester is the track, so if the can get a team of track specialists they'll always stand a good chance of a 2 legged victory imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
