It is reckoned the Play Offs provide your biggest crowds of the season and are a good paynight for the home promotion, helping to balance the books. So obviously you want to stage them on your regular race night. However this doesn't look to be readily possible for this year's sections with the qualifiers being Glasgow, Oxford, Poole, Red car, Scunthorpe and either Edinburgh or Birmingham. At least one and possibly both sections will feature two teams with the same race night. If they stick to their regular race night and using Glasgow, Red car and Poole as an example the fixtures could look like. Fri Sept 15 Glasgow v Redcar Wed Sept20 Poole v Glasgow Fri Sept 22 Redcar v Poole Wed Sept 27 Poole v red car Fri Sept 29 Glasgow v Poole Fri Oct 6 Redcar v Glasgow
Does this take too long? If so it could be shrunk to Fri Sept 15 Glasgow v Red car Sun Sept 17 Redcar v Poole Wed Sept 20 Poole v Glasgow Fri Sept 22 Redcar v Glasgow Sun Sept 24 Glasgow v Poole Wed Sept 27 Poole v Redcar
However this assumes riders are free of Polish commitments on Sundays - possibly not the case. So perhaps Tuesdays rather than Sundays though Poole may not relish riding at Redcar the night before facing Glasgow at home.
To further complicate things BSN streaming requirements may also make this more protracted.
Nit sure how this is going to be worked out.

Might Ben Basso be missing should we have a meeting on Sept 15 as he's at the Danish GP the following day. Chris has a long track final on Sept 17 but hopefully would be ok.
