Didn't realise this was just CC. Looking forward to it though, even though it does mean some epic driving for me this weekend. Be interested to see Nikolav and Bellamy on successive nights and see what they are made of.

According to local sources we could be looking at a full house for the first time in a decade!

Sorry i couldn't be more specific. No worries, thanks, just not sure if it had changed now Cov are in charge. Have a bit of an epic journey to get there on Sunday so the more that can be sorted in advance the better.

Just to re iterate what Scrappy said, it could be close to a sell out on Sunday. The marketing is going really well, and today they hit the transport interchange handing out 1000s of leaflets. If it goes as well as the other week when we had over 1000 in the rink with about 5 away fans included in that, and the fact that Nottingham always bring loads of fans , it clould be clise to a sell out. hopefully we will have more programmes than last week as we ran out Looks like its going to be a great atmopshere

just rang hull arena to book tickets, its no where near a sell out! she told me not to book over the phone and waste my money on a booking fee and that it had never been a sell out in 5 years and the way sales were going it certainly wont be tomorrow!

Thats because not many people book thier tickets before the game.
last week we had to delay the game by 10 mins as the queue was pretty long and they only have 2 people selling tickets, I know they have been marketing this one big time, coupled with the fact that the Panthers always have brought a good away turnout, Im predicting a big crowd (for us anyway !) for the game

Quote from ticket office, to back up earlier poster:
"We never sell out, you wont have a problem getting a ticket on the day"
After the trip to Hull via Manchester she better be right!

You may not miss out on a ticket but you will probably have to queue a fair while. First week, as has been said, we had 1000 in there and there was still a pretty sizeable queue and that was despite there being another queue for season ticket holders picking up their tickets.
Looking forward to it anyway, although not expecting to get much/anything from it.

We have nearly double the amount of season tickets this year compared to last season, our first game attendance was up 400 fans on last years.I personally thought that our crowd against Cardiff was bigger than the 1007 published. The new marketing team have been working very hard with leafletting and school visits for a fortnight since our last game. I would be shocked if this game didnt attract a crowd of 1800!
I hope that woman at the Hull Arena that said we haven't been close to a sell out is working tomorrow because she will be in for a massive shock!

I would be suprised if there was 1800 there against us, what would be of concern would be if there wasnt 1800 everytime Blaze rode into town - you know Cowley and his buddies will be expecting hero worship from all the stingrays fans when they parade around the ice to an adoring audience I actually feel sorry for scrappy having to worship these characters HL

Hi
Are we talking roughly 2 hours drive to Hull, by the Motorway from Nottingham.
Would love to go, just a time thing.
Tempting after seeing the new players.
