Now that Redcar are confirmed as the highest second, I would expect the draw to be made soon. It'll be interesting to see if it is an open draw - possibly even done live on BSN - or whether it will be managed. Will Redcar and Scunthorpe be kept apart as they were both in the same section and it would involve repetitive fixtures - although there's been quite a few already with the KO Cup and BSN sections being organised geographically. Who do we hope we get.? Redcar are already due in the KO Cup - May 19 at Redcar and our home leg still to be advised- so not sure that would be a great draw even if it would bring Bailey and Hume back to Ashfield. We're at Scunthorpe this Friday in the league so that would be a good chance to sort out set ups, though we rarely do well there. Which leaves Poole! If its the Pirates then let's hope it's a dry night.... and a good forecast too.

Draw is Scunthorpe v Tigers and Redcar v Poole. It'll be interesting to see when these meetings are run. Right now there doesn't look to be any obvious dates as one or both teams have fixtures on Fridays through to end of June May 12 Scunthorpe v Glasgow League May 19 Redcar v Glasgow KOC Scunthorpe No Meeting May 26 Edinurgh v Scunthorpe League Glasgow No Meeting June 2 Scunthorpe v Redcar League Glasgow v Birmingham League June 9 Edinburgh v Glasgow League Scunthorpe No Meeting June 16 Glasgow v Edinburgh League Scunthorpe v Plymouth League June 23 Glasgow v Scunthorpe League
Choices seem to be - Use league meetings on May 12 and June 23 for BSN semis and HOPE the league meetings can be rearranged - Use May 12 for Scunthorpe home leg of BSN and have Glasgow v Scunthorpe on Saturday May 27

It would be good to have the league meeting this Friday to get a run out on the track for the cup match

Yes but there is only July 21 and August 25 free after that for Oxford restaging and possibly KO Cup semi and final and BSN final. If we go all the way in these competitions it's going to be tight and will need weekend racing on Fridays when We're away from home. Just hope our boys don't have Polish commitments that clash.

Would seem the BSN Trophy trumps the KO Cup, with Redcar, who just this afternoon listed their KO Cup meeting with us on May 19, now changing it to a BSN semi with Poole. So where does that leave us? Perhaps racing Scunthorpe on May 19 but at home or away.... but can BSN stream both meetings that night And is this Friday now a BSN meeting?

BSN Semi Final dates May 12 Scunthorpe v Glasgow May 17 Poole v Redcar May 19 Glasgow v Scunthorpe and Redcar v Poole
Will BSN be able to stream both meetings on May 19? They certainly said they would show all the semis and final ties in their pre season press release.

Redcar website now showing their BSN semi against Poole as being Saturday May 20. While it's good that the semi dates have been fixed up quickly are we just storing up problems for later on. Our league meeting at Scunthorpe may well be slotted in on either June 30 or July 14 but weren't these dates being kept open for the KO Cup ties and the BSN final? As for the KO Cup will we be racing Redcar home and away over the last weekend of May. As its the holiday weekend earky advice of this would be welcome by supporters.
