As has been suggested before ..

Any meeting called off gets one point each to the teams and doesn't get ran at a later date, and no bonus point gets awarded for those section of home and away meetings..

If they were the rules I would suggest many, many more meetings would take place that currently get called off now...

With the riders themselves being the main ones pushing for the meeting to take place given each meeting lost is a pay day lost too...

I think you may be onto something there, though that is open for abuse.

I would say if the fixture is called off early (before the referee has arrived) then the away team is awarded a point. No points for the home team.  The fixture is then run at a later date.

Looks like this has been rearranged to Monday 14th September as Edinburgh Academy just posted their fixture on 13th September there has been cancelled due to Premiership fixture the next day 

I wonder if this will now be shown by BSN. They were due to broadcast Sheffield v Northampton yesterday but this has been re-staged for next Wednesday, the same day as they are due at Poole for the first leg of the semi- final against Edinburgh.

I’m not sure Leicester would be too happy having to refund a lot of subscribers to their Leicester TV stream for this meeting. 
 

I was one who subscribed, and was emailed after the postponement to be told my subscription to the meeting would roll over to the new date. 
 

Not sure they’d be too happy losing revenue by refunding those subscribers because they couldn’t then stream the meeting due to BSN. 
 

Unless BSN compensated them.
