No tac subs allowed in two-legged affairs (Cup / play-offs)

So it's acceptable for Scunthorpe to delay the KOC by THREE months, but not acceptable for Plymouth to delay the play-offs by SEVEN days?

Most sensible fixture options should now be: Tues 13th Plymouth (A) P/0 Wed 14th Leicester (H) KOC Probably be a bit of a wait for the second leg as Leicester have a couple of NL matches on the next 2 Saturday's

You're talking a lot of sense there! For some reason when riders say they need x-amount of money to buy the best equipment, promoters just pay it (despite it not improving the product). Rather than saying "as only so many fans turn up to matches I can only pay you this amount" I've never understood why promoters pay out more than what comes in? If that means Championship riders have to treat it as a hobby, while working a "real" job like they did in the 80's so be it!

Think a few people owe you an apology for doubting your belief in the Panthers lol!

I'll back Scunthorpe to win this one, but not on aggregate!

If Poole end up struggling to fit in fixtures before the end of October, blame Scunthorpe / Leicester. KOC QF postponed in May, not re-arranged until September! Why should Plymouth & Glasgow have to re-arrange a fixture when other clubs seem happy to cause a potential fixture pile-up?

Glasgow fans may have booked time off work, hotels etc. Albeit likely not many. No reason to move the fixture as there's still plenty of time to race to remaining fixtures.

Because Plymouth are racing Glasgow in a league fixture

Looking at those line-ups Redcar should qualify comfortably

But this situation was known before the season started, if there were no rain-offs everyone's season would finish at the start of August (bar KOC & PO matches). Clubs had months available to plan extra fixtures if needed (Ashfield Classic, NL Challenges against Armadale & Berwick)

Converted ave would be 11.56

Because riding against Blodorn is easier than riding against Brennan (or Etheridge)

Poole Speedway don't produce the averages for the league, if a mistake has been made - not Poole's fault!

Don't need to split up a partnership that works well, could ride together at 1&2 or 3&4

I don't think you can blame the track as I saw no other incidents in the same area!

Not if there's more than one rider out, in that situation clubs can choose who to use r/r for

If true Jenkins should have just said NO, no matter how much the promotion tried to persuade him to ride!

It's not really a mockery, Belle Vue only have a strong option to replace Brennan as he's been riding so well!

I guess that could be true, although I was thinking at the time they still had a chance of a league point?

One thing I can't understand from the evening match was to replace Etheridge with Blodorn in heat 12, what on earth was that about? Etheridge had only beaten Kemp, but Blodorn hadn't beaten any Wolves riders, Etheridge also finished ahead of Blodorn in heat 14 to further prove my point! Wouldn't have affected the score probably, but can't understand the reasoning regardless of the score!

Zagar's race win in heat 5 was phenomenal!

Any U-21 rider can ride at reserve in the 3rd tier in Poland, so it makes sense to race at that level as Brennan should get plenty matches - move up a level & he may not get a ride.

PLRC was a catchy title

Still don't understand why some think the track reserve should not be strong enough to beat any rider, seems almost pointless having them in that situation! In this case King still would've been in the semi on 11 points.
