I thought the playoff SF was on 5th Oct?? 

To not have a date for playoff SF is ridiculous. League comes before cup imo.

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!

Personally I think the BSN series should be completed first because it was an early season competition. Then the KOC, cause there's no reason that should have run so long either. Finish up with the play-offs. I would think that would get a big crowd whenever it is raced. Whereas the BSN may get a smaller crowd of fans have already just watched the play-off & KOC finals.

I can certainly see the logic in finishing semi finals before racing finals, means the other finalists can plan dates without having to wait though.

The BSN series should have been completed months ago, no excuse for it going on so long. Of course clubs tend to ignore it as they want to get their league fixtures over & done with, I don't really know why, the cut-off date doesn't need to be so early it'll cause havoc with fixtures.

I also think it would have made sense for the Redcar vs Poole match to be a double header, that seems very logical, save on travel expenses & get competitions completed sooner.

Oh I forgot, another reason to race the KOC finals first is to get bigger crowds. Poole & Redcar fans can't be sure they'll be in any more finals, so they may turn up in greater numbers for these matches? If it was just one out of 3 guaranteed finals, would they get the same attendance?

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.

As we go into October, yet again various finals  are still to be completed and the weather is changing.  Yet their is talk of one league with more fixtures to cram in !! How will this work out ??

Organisation and a strong hand on the tiller, no rearranging matches because a rider is a reserve in the Timbuktu Open Championship.

BSPA had changed fixture Sunday to K. O cup first leg as is on Poole website but now has reverted back to Play Off semi 2nd leg.  So who is correct? Also changed to Cup on BSN now so probably its just the BSPA who dont know what they are doing!

Who'd of thought it? In October as well?  

It might be "pie in the sky" but for 2026 how about - BSN Final by end of July - KOC Final by the end of August - League meetings complete by end of August - Play-off Semi's and Final in September.

We have had good weather in October and we have had play offs in November. Met office saying rain Friday in Redcar but sunny on Sunday so should be ok.

So is it now play-offs at Redcar on Sunday 5th and KO Cup at Poole on Wednesday 8th?

Same said every year, but it doesn't happen for one reason or another 

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

Do the Polish, Swedish and Danish leagues run into October?

The billboard outside Ashfield says ”Fridays, March to October”, so October racing is expected.

Then again, that billboard also says ”CHAMPIONS”, so it’s a bloody liar.
