Beirao Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago The draw was made live during last Fridays stream of the Scunthorpe v Glasgow meeting and paired Glasgow and Redcar along with Poole v Oxford but this doesn't seem to have been published anywhere. Why? Neither Glasgow nor Redcar have a team fixture tomorrow which seemed the obvious time for the Redcar leg given Glasgow have the SGP2 the following night at Ashfield. Anyone know anything about what is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirao Posted 12 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 12 hours ago So it was published promptly and presumably the date the draw was being made was known by the four semifinals so it was no surprise to them but no action was taken thereafter and a blank Friday has been wasted by Redcar and Glasgow. Even worse should they be paired up in the KO Cup semis, Redcar having already made it through to this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think last years semis were around August-September time last year if I'm remembering correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted 11 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) The previous year the finals were run in July. Deferring the semis and the finals like last year could well be stacking up problems and duplication. Poole, Oxford, Redcar and Glasgow are the BSN semifinalists and are all drawn in separate KO Cup quarter finals so there's a more than fair chance they'll be the cup semifinalists too. Indeed Redcar have already won through . These four may well be the playoff four. Talk about deja vu all over again! We really need these finals spread out n different months!

Poole's SF against Workington was 21st August for first leg. The final vs Scunny was in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they will do the same as last season. Final better at end of season imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Can't see Glasgow being in a rush to book dates without Dan either tbh. As it's an FIM event is there practice the day before that Ashton would be required to attend also on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BSPL don’t seem to grasp the most seasons the same Top 4 Clubs that Season usually contest most of the Trophy Finals thus causing fixture congestion by delay these meetings.There should be cut off point that should be strictly adhered too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's unlikely as Zischke who is actually riding in the SGP2 meeting is turning out for Workington at Edinburgh tomorrow night. We really need a fixtures secretary to set dates and not let teams defer because of injury etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeellis Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Neither Glasgow or Redcar have a fixture on Friday July 11th and the following Friday 18th Redcar are due at Glasgow in the league, maybe change that to BSN trophy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a plan and we'll leave the problem of a date for the league meeting until another time. Interestingly BSN say that they haven't been given dates by the BSPL for the semis and that the semis aren't part of their schedule, so they have no part in any delays.
