Gunner85 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Great to see two young Brits at reserve. however the top 5 is not good. I see Leicester have the Thompson twins at reserve... but I bet they end up with a good top 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBSN Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 6 hours ago, George Dodds said: AFAIK the only doubt was Newcastle's participation. That would have thrown a spanner in the works and we don't really know what the contingency plans were had the Grants not taken over. So with that solved there's no reason to think that we have not reverted to the position decided at the AGM. Release was "The Championship will operate a new-style league format in 2020 aimed at giving clubs more meaningful and more local fixtures. Clubs will be split into North and South sections, and will race the other clubs from their section twice and home and twice away, whilst facing those from the opposite section once at home and once away. In addition, the play-offs for the second tier have been extended and will feature the top six clubs." Not sure where the confusion about the Shield comes from as it has never been mentioned except, perhaps, in some badly written press articles or web posts. Believe the clubs now have to submit their preferred fixture lists for scrutiny on the basis of the above. Redcar are quoted as saying there is two separate leagues, North and South, and the top 3 of each will qualify for the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something the club is actively looking into. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the club could look at an on line shop, merchandise could be picked up at the track once ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
