Normski Posted Thursday at 02:52 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:52 PM 39 minutes ago, Beirao said: 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. All the cup competitions should have designated dates like the football. Year after year we have the same situation with cup fixtures. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s too simple.Like I say riders dictate when they are available in GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyfox Posted Sunday at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:29 PM (edited) Apparently this week past week was allocated for the semi finals & Redcar kept Fri 23rd free for this reason. When they offered it to Glasgow they refused. If it was the allocated week they should not have been able to refuse. A home international meeting the day after is no excuse. As Oxford and Poole were in the same qualifying group I'm sure I heard somewhere that they should have been kept apart in the semi draw. This would have also made it easier, meaning the 2 Wednesday clubs and the 2 Friday clubs would have been kept apart. Making it easier to arrange dates.

They weren't done till August last season. What's the rush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Redcar offered the date and it was reserved for the semi final then award the meeting 75-0 to Redcar. That would make teams race the meetings. Have said all along this is the start of season competition so it should be completed by June at the latest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was drawn live on BSN with all 4 balls in the the draw together. Don't think BSN were told to do anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairboy Posted yesterday at 09:22 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:22 AM With 2 teams qualifying from the same group (Oxford and Poole) I would have thought it basic common sense to ensure these 2 teams did not meet again in the semi-finals. Why am I not surprised this was not done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
