Do you know that for sure? 100% positive ? Yes. Normally riders away fans can pay to travel on same coach as players to raiders games. But not this match as the team are travelling down the day before. Perfect |

Three play-off games in four days for Plymouth! Two play-off games in four days for Leicester!  |

Perfect I'm surprised the club hasn't arranged for the whole travelling supporters group to travel down a day early as well and put the up in a hotel. You've all got to be fit and rested for that sixth man everyone talks about. |

What sort of crowd will the Raiders get on a weekday/school day? Maybe 600 at a push I expect. Saying that weve sold close to 1500 for most of the 2md half of the season |

Well we got a text from the supporters club asking if we wanted tickets for Friday ?
Let Raiders play twice away at our place at the weekend if they can't get the home venue
Surely there must be some rule about this?
Riders will want to prepare for the game even if raiders don't want to?

Our partners are marjon would be a poor option too. The only court with seating is the life centre but I dont doubt Wednesday. Well play there |

My post about Vince has gone ?
It wasn`t rude, it was accurate and his poor preparation cost Lions the game
Paul James threw a simple match up zone against them and they didn`t have any player or ball movement to break it down
Bad prep, bad coach

But that's BBL basketball for you. I guess one advantage it gives is although we have such little time to prepare for the first leg we do have more time to prepare and adjust for the second leg. And the second leg is where this tie will be won in the end. IMO I fancy us really strongly to win this semi now for some reason. I think this may be playing into our hands. Bring it on!! |

Bit odd, having the first leg on a Wednesday. Doesn't suggest much thought went in to the effect on travelling fans.

Personally my idea would be
Keep the bracket the same the whole way through not have a system whereby whoever is the top seed plays the bottom available seed
That way the club's can know where they stand and the likely outcomes that way the can contact both clubs about when they can get there court's and maybe make a few contingency plans not just make it up as they go along like in this case
So in this example the raiders lions could have contacted both the royals and rocks and all put there head a together and make 4 different strategies on How the semi finals would work best for everyone!

Wonder why we can't play Friday at the Pavillions? Doesn't appear to be an event advertised there on same night? Would be better for selling tickets for Raiders? More time and better night of the week? Is the Wednesday game going to be at the Pavillions or elsewhere? |
