Well yes, they are bring prioritised because they are at SF stage still and KOC is further ahead being just the final. So makes sense to prioritise it imo. Also you need to be scheduling fixtures in soon as possible now we are in October as you are relying on weather and stadium availability.

They didn't even have a new date for playoff SF, so they didn't sort it out very well. Can't be delaying playoffs by at least 10 days or so because Dan wants the 2nd leg in KOC final.

Common sense by BSPL. Playoffs should be prioritised.

I'm not saying we should. I'm saying it would easier to plan fixtures if they made it through to the final as they have more free dates than Redcar. Not sure what Plymouth or Scunny have to do with it, they weren't in the SF.

Not sure about Fricke. But think Dan, Brady and Doyle are. There was a time when Lambert was living in Germany? But feel like it could be Poland now 🤷‍♀️ So do Poole, so that is mainly to do with winning rather than GP riders, if that is what you meant.

I'm sure they are when they don't have a lot of fixtures to fit in. Oxford don't have anything else if they got through so it would have been easier.

Because unless Redcar are going to do 2 home meetings in a week, the earliest it will be done is middle of October and then 2 weeks to do 2 finals and that's providing there is no bad weather. Which is asking a lot considering at least half will be north of England and Scotland. All SFs should be completed before finals take place when it is same teams. If they going to have all competitons at end of the season, league first then koc then bsn cup. I think Poole were hoping Oxford got through last night. Be easier to sort out!

I thought the playoff SF was on 5th Oct?? To not have a date for playoff SF is ridiculous. League comes before cup imo.

Only when track is as normal i suppose.

Redcar definitely be harder for them to beat. If we don't get through the SF then hope Redcar do it just for the entertaining factor of everyone moaning about 3rd place team winning the league 😂 Agree about the Poole track, people been moaning about it for last 20 years. We are on a list with Plymouth, Leicester, Sheffield, Oxford etc.. Also Glasgow didn't have that much passing in first half of the meeting last night. Just gate and stick it on the outside to stay in front. Chris Harris said it and so did Adam McKinna. But definitely more passing last 5/6 races.

Redcar only winning by 6. This tie still anyones. Be easier for us if Oxford made it through tbh. They showed a few heats on BSN. Am I right in thinking Redcar had a 12 point lead at one stage?

How is that out of his control though? Which is what he said.

Only Redcar will stop them imo.

Well no ban then, as he's actually riding! 😁 Never seen him before so looking forward to seeing how he does tonight.

They must have a notebook filled out with different team line ups considering all the different scenarios next season could bring! Oxford implying heavily it's one league. On the other hand you have Ipswich and BV probably trying to get anyone to move up, so they can continue with the Prem. Interesting winter ahead..

Was a shame he had to pull out. I just assumed he was in Poland.

One reason I don't like r/r is if another rider gets injured early on then you are kinda screwed. Rather a guest if poss. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best! Also what is going on with Rich?! Who knows if he'll be riding or not 🤷‍♀️

Moving up then.

Don't think you can do anything during SON week for Prem and Champ, that is why everything happening soon as it's finished!

Or Barker, who has said he's done for the season. Doubt Edwards can guest as against Redcar in one SF and prob against them in the two finals. Also it was posted in a FB group that Kerr hurt his hip but who knows how accurate that is. Edit - potentially could have Gusts at Redcar in playoff SF. The other competitions are harder as was thinking Fraser Bowes but sure he guested for Glasgow at Poole in SF KOC. So not for that final but maybe for BSN final? Not sure if he has guested in that. Hopefully with 9-10 days rest Lewi is ok!!

No, Kennett was a Coventry rider when that happened.

I thought race nights were a deal breaker? Unless they are planning on making the Championship a lot weaker next season, then I can't see Poole changing race nights to go to the Prem.

Plymouth in the prem? lol. Can't wait to see Emil rock up and say wtf is this?

Edinburgh have said that PT is okay and riding on Friday. Just protecting himself and Edinburgh by not doing his fourth ride tonight. A lot will depend if Nagel is riding and if not, who will be replacing him.

You do realise you'll prob still do enough to win the league, right? Maybe change the 'tigers' part of the name as seems to be a bit unlucky atm (maybe Cami was onto something, just not in the way he meant!).
