I don't think it's set in stone yet - they are / were trialling several things, but yes, I had heard it explained as you describe. Whilst obviously 3 free places is better than 1 free place, the entire concept of anybody paying to be a mascot is one I find a little distasteful. It's not a...
Exactly. No difference.
(Except for the MotM text which is for CHARITY).
*and charging for the mascots, which is a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE decision. Please scrap it.
