Not if they finish 2nd.

Yes that’s still quite possible so I have updated my post.

[Rob B]

So I make points difference Ipswich +180, Sheffield +181.

So Sheffield can still finish top with 2 wins against Ipswich?

Correct. Ipswich need a point, so even a draw and a superheat defeat at Foxhall Thursday would see us top.

If that happens I’ll give you the money meself.

I would say that the finishing places in the league will be same as they are at the present.

(1st) Ipswich

(2nd) Leicester

(3rd) Sheffield

(4th) Belle Vue

[Daniel Smith]

Major controversy incoming for the Play-Offs. 

Again, Belle Vue have instructed their solicitors vs the BSPL, who have notified the remainder of the league of the circumstances. 

Before a wheel was turned in March, Belle Vue had instructed their Play-Offs opposition which had been verbally agreed by the Chaiman of the BSPL.

So, following the agreement made in March the Play-Offs will be as followed........

Semi Final 1: Belle Vue vs Birmingham - 1st leg NSS / 2nd leg NSS

Final: Belle Vue vs Oxford - 1st leg at NSS / 2nd leg NSS

Semi Final 2: Ipswich vs Sheffield - Postponed 

Leicester: Withdrawn from the Play-Offs due to to many illegal immigrants in the City.

Of course, this is absolutely, 100% (not) fact & know how Belle Vue & some fans like to cry about the injustice they suffer & highlight how great they are.

Even with all this, Leicester still win the league 😛😛

Belle Vue and Ipswich confirmed for next week.

Phil Morris knows it was a poor decision and said it wouldn’t happen again. 

What is interesting is the fact nobody really knows where each other will finish, and all face each other still.

My money is on a late charge from Birmingham and they take it all 😁

Or so we thought.
Now looks like being 1st v 3rd & 2nd v 4th ?

Of course this may not happen if the “powers in charge”decide the two remaining fixtures are not held so saving face.

Aces already officially announced it's Aces v Ipswich 🤔

[cowboy cookie returns?]

The play offs are wide open, it’s impossible to predict.

I think you can although based on previous years in the Prem and the Champ if its cold and wet you can discount Leicester. And if the play offs were at the start of August in all the sunshine they would have been unstoppable.

[SPEEDY69]

Sheffield to win overall.  They will beat Leicester over two legs and then dish out the same to Belle Vue.

[BluPanther]

I can't see anyone beating the Lions over two legs, unless Max goes missing again...

Although pretty much immaterial - Which teams will actually finish the league campaign in 1st, 2nd and 3rd? 
Or another question. Are there plans to run the rained off meetings between Oxford V Leicester and Sheffield v Ipswich?

Tigers can. The two team changes made on deadline day have made a significant improvement to the team.

Does anyone know if the top team picks who they want to race against in this seasons play offs? 

Anyone?

No, THE BSPA will with two regular season matches remaining - bit like last year but this time around devoid of "commercial reasons" so they cant be accused of making the same mistake two years running.😬

To be fair, they only had 123 slots in 41 collective Monday and Thursdays, (giving GP week a miss), to complete 82 meetings...

And that was with no September meetings planned as well...

They must have reserved the 41 slots not used for the KO Cup and the odd Thursday that Poland took..

Better safe than sorry.....

They were actually very lucky that Oxford were not in with a chance of qualifying as otherwise it would look even more ridiculous...
