Wonder why they went Saturday home game 1st?

We only travel once, before the away game, opposition have to travel twice

yes , agree as it may be dundee, although all the sellouts we have had will pay for airfare up to dundee and bus it home.

Sure we'll fly both ways, but assuming it's Dundee, they'll be travelling by bus, so early start Saturday to get here, then overnight to get home, so exhausted for their home leg

I thought team in 1st played team in 8th 2nd plays 7th etc, if that's the case and we finish top then wont we play the Blaze if the table stays as it is?

As they won their conference, Clan will be seeded 2nd regardless of who finishes 2nd in the league, so they will play the team in 7th place.

Having just looked at the table, it looks like a fight between Stars, Storm and Blaze for the final 2 places.

Dundee / Coventry / Manchester I think, depending on how their last games go

The battle for 7th-9th league positions isn't over yet. Dundee jumped two positions last week by winning 2 out of 3 games. All to play for - 8th position could be Blaze, Storm or Stars. None of them are going to be easy opponents.

Not 100 % correct. The winner of our conference comes into the equation.

If we win the league and conference then what you said is correct, us 1, Clan 2 and the rest determined by league position.
However, if we win the league but fail to win the conference (Sheffield or Belfast could) we will be seeded 1, the second seed will be conference winner who has the higher league position, both Sheffield and Belfast will finish higher than Clan, so the winner of our conference will be seeded 2, Clan 3 and then 4-8 determined by league position.

Sheffield are out of that equation as they can't catch us... They can get to 40pts and we have 41pts! As you say, Belfast could.
And because Belfast play us twice, if they manage it then they probably win the league... That's not worth thinking about!
