I cant remember Belle Vue being in one!

All league meetings are affected by rain sometimes, i only remember one final that was affected by rain but like you i cant be bothered to trawl through them all to find out. Anyway bring on the playoffs for six meetings of all out racing that you dont always get in league meetings especially if they are affected by rain!

Personally i did wonder whether North and Watt were up to it but North has proved me wrong and is back to his early season form although i still think Watt is a worry. Kacper i have always maintained is decent and better than any other rider we could get even on his current average and will not let us down in the play offs. Watt isn't the rider he was and could let us down but with few alternatives available your probably right we should stick with the team and hope they all get it right in the play offs

A decent performance North seems back to his early season form but Holder and Watt continue to be a concern.

Long live the sycophants! Bring on the play offs. Has he got any cogs left to drop!!

So how many play off finals have been in the rain then? Is it making the end of season more exciting for fans of five teams that still have a chance of qualifying? Who is testing engines? Injuries are part of the sport, they rarely even themselves out, whether we have play offs or not.

But he isnt riding in the PL tonight!

Riders have been manipulating averages long before the play offs so as they get work the following season.

They wouldn't be awful intentionally, makes no sense.

Cant see Belle Vue getting anything out of this meeting we are too strong at home especially wirh North back on form

I guess you should know one when you see one! To be fair it usually is.Regarding Darcy i have always thought there is no one better in league racing.

The only issue is that some Robins fans are making out they havent a better guest than who is being replaced but i would say good luck to them, if you have a injured rider you get the best guest available sometimes that works to your advantage

Loyalty! Not sure gater 1 knows what it means!

Poole are putting on the riband as a fixture filler, wouldnt more turn up for a koc match?

I think half the problem was teams viewed it as a second rate competition, if they treated it better maybe fans would attend it. It could run alongside the league and have the finals in october. I dont see why it can work in the PL but not EL

The knock out cup matches were always well attended as far as i remember maybe not the shield.

I agree the play offs shouldn't stop the EL from having a knock out cup or even the shield.

I suppose Lakeside are squeaky clean!! May aswell go back to uprights and not have air fences, suppose that wouldn't matter the speed they travel at Lakeside!!

i think we will stick with our current team now.

As it seems he hasn't been picked up yet you could get Pawlicki in for Milik

Rory and lewis i would agree are massive losses for you but what i have seen of Charles Wright he could do a good job as could Steve Worrall, maybe not as good as Lewis Kerr but decent replacements, Rory is more of a problem because as you say his replacement Milik is just not firing at the moment, maybe another change is in the pipeline.

KL could have fitted Ward in had they come to a agreement.

Has nobody accused us of average manipulation!!

I have given up replying to his boring rhetoric, he is too stupid to realise that the play offs are good for speedway and how exciting they are when your team is involved.

Ok thanks, i'm assuming walaseks has changed because its his first season for a while here so he didn't have a rolling average.
