My opinion on play-offs is we need them with 1 home 1 away but if it was 2H2A we can scrap them, teams at the start and end of the year can be very different even if they don't have any rider changes the form of the riders can vary quite a bit so can be a bit of luck when you face another team. Weather and other things like dodgy refs can also play a part and there are too little meetings with 1H1A to negate some luck factor (not that it disappears with 2H2A). If they can't fit 2H2A then maybe even something similar to 2011s format where the top 4/5 do another round robin with the top of the overall table at the end winning. The premiership this year would have come down to a last meeting decider in Sheffield naturally had there been no playoffs but instead we got a nothing meeting to put Sheffield top which didn't matter as they'd already lost in the playoffs. Teams do agree to do play-offs though as it makes them the most money so they can't complain, at the very least the team that finishes top should get some form of trophy.

Bowes expected his bikes to be at Poole as they are stored at Workington. He got told this was not possible and threw his toys and confirmed his season is over.    For me I want riders who want to ride for Workington regardless. Nobody is bigger than the club. He has been missing more than present this season. Go and chase your dream in Poland and Sweden son. Bye for now 

Think Victor packed up after the red lights came on so was still under power. Not sure why the red lights came on though, I thought there was maybe power issues in the ref box but not sure as it took a while for Hugh in the box to come back on.

I was surprised he wasn’t excluded for missing the two mins. 

A night of high drama and great excitement and entertainment. Edinburgh really missed Paco although Sedgy did great as a stand in captain. Very pleased for Max Perry. Well done to the Tigers and good luck in the final.

Yes the ref must have been quite relieved. Couple of interesting incidents. Why was ht1 rerun and not awarded? And then when it was rerun did VP try to come out on his first bike and get told that wasn’t allowed?
