I did check with the Berwick promotion before the original reply and they say it is Championship League and KO Cup only in 2020 and the season ticket is valid for the 16 league fixtures. Wonder why the league didn't just have 1 meeting (home and away) with each team in the league and have 2 Trophy groups (North and South). It would give all teams the same matches (16) and everyone would have another trophy to race for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only obvious mention of north and south is to work out who faces who twice and who faces who once. Talk is of the top six teams in an extended playoff - not top three of each section. Suppose we'll see when the regs are finally published. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the second and third place teams raced against their counterparts to see who joined them in the semi final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a theory that with your 10% discount you could buy a top quality bandits' jacket from the savings you've made from buying an early-bird season pass ... and still have enough left to treat Sarah to cheeseburger and chips a couple of times Edited November 29, 2019 by George Dodds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things change, complaints are noted, action taken where possible The jackets I was after was from the year before, so you could say its my own fault for not buying one when they were available the season before. Maybe the club could look at an on line shop, merchandise could be picked up at the track once ready. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
