I was just having a quick look at the fixtures and noticed, we have 7 home games in a row from Nov 6th to Dec 3rd!

Have we ever played that amount of home games in a row?

Expensive times :D

there are no season ticket games vs Dundee or Guildford either. would have rather one of each be swapped for some of the other teams we see a billion times

It's madness and all in the lead up to Christmas too. I suspect a lot of fans may pick and chose as may not be able to afford to go to all the games. The cynic in me notices that the vast majority of these games are against the Giants, Panthers and Devils. Not slipped in a few of the considered/expected to be mid to lower table clubs.

What's the challenge Cup format? Is it the same or similar to last year with a hundred pointless games before get to quarter finals?

The month of November could go a long way to deciding who might win the title.

No travel, just home games. No excuses.

Thanks for that. Was terribly lazy of me. May miss a few of the group stages then.
