Re: Championship play-offs
Couple of former Tigers Academy lads got on the scoresheet as well - Will Hurrell crossing for Doncaster and Charlie Clare going over with a consolation try for Bedford.
Re: Championship play-offs
Great win for Donny by the looks of things. Looking good for a Bristol v Donny final.
Would be nice to see a new team in the Premiership and would be equally amusing to see Bristol's cash flashing fall on its face again.

If Bedford win the play-offs, LI will not be relegated.

True, but having been heavily beaten in the first leg by Bristol that's not looking in the least bit likely.Roly wrote:If Bedford win the play-offs, LI will not be relegated.

Is it actually 10,000/1? I'd have a quid on that if so!!Roly wrote:Its only 10000/1, Leicester City won with only half those odds....Iain wrote:True, but having been heavily beaten in the first leg by Bristol that's not looking in the least bit likely.Roly wrote:If Bedford win the play-offs, LI will not be relegated.

Any which way, it's highly unlikely that the whole Bedford winning and saving London Irish thing is going to be relevant now.
Re: Championship play-offs
The whole ground being up to code thing is rubbish anyway - Cornish Pirates were denied their right a while ago but its a travesty when you compare stadia like that to The Rec.Iain wrote:You teaseRoly wrote:Disclaimer: I may have guessed at the odds....

Re: Championship play-offs
In fairness, I don't know what the criteria are to be able to make a judgement.
It's a shame, as Premiership rugby has been played at Goldington Road in the past.

In the same way Welford Road wasn't up to standard for World Cup rugby. It's all a load of spheroids.

Spheroids is way too mild a term.

Re: Championship play-offs
Well thankfully Bristol have a healthy lead going into the second leg. I just hope they thrash Doncaster who they will probably be facing in the two legs of the final. It is a travesty of the system that for the past two years they have finished the regular season streets ahead of their nearest rivals to have to undergo the agony of a play off system.
Either the championship play offs should be scrapped or extended to a 2up 2 down system where the champions are automatically promoted and the next 3 teams plus the 11th placed team in the Aviva are involved in the play offs. This comes from someone who is no lover of West country teams.
