I could be wrong, but think this was the Unipart shuttle bus. I think it drops off and picks up at Sandy Lane now, due to access issues into Ashville Way last season.

Could be, but it came the other way up Sandy Lane. I thought the shuttle was just a minibus, this was a 52 seater or thereabouts

No, the Unipart bus is a big thing. Although I presume it would come from the Garsington Road direction….unless it does some elaborate detour.

...how I miss those names! Sandy Lane, Watlington and Garsingtion Roads where I grew up!

So it's been the Premier Trophy, Jubilee / Summer Trophy, League Cup, Championship shield maybe? I'm sure one year the KOC had group stages too!

This was a new competition introduced last year as the Summer Trophy with 3 regional groups and the winners of each group meeting in a final to be held at a neutral venue, Sheffield. Then  it was re-branded without any press release to the Jubilee Trophy, then the final at a neutral venue was abandoned in favour of a 3 legged final at each of the finalists home tracks, then Glasgow pulled out because Her Majesty the Queen died (:() just leaving Leicester and Poole as the finalists and that final has not been run. Both clubs, months ago, have said the final will be run and then it's been silence! And now we're starting this years competition! It has never been the Premier Trophy, League Cup or Champ Sheild it's only ever been the Summer Trophy and the Jubilee Trophy. Why anybody should support this competition is beyond me... what's the situation for the BSN Series final do you know?

3 group winners plus the best runner-up go into 2 semi finals.

One team won't offer any dates for final that I know

Don't care who it is... but this should have been the opening fixture of the season

Glasgow by any chance 

Glasgow should be banned from all competitions except for the league for this season

Should have been raced last season. As soon as the play-off final was announced at a neutral venue - should have doubled up as the Trophy final!
