We don't swoop because we don't have the budget for Kleenex to offer Old Dave after keeping the Playoffs and them losing the CC finals. Can't take the Boxing day match up too, what are we savages? |

I just find it irritating that it all comes down to money "Boxing day in Sheffield equals bigger crowds,but stuff the Panthers fans" . Yet another instance of Panthers caring about nothing but money !!!! |

Yet another instance of Panthers caring about nothing but money !!!! In all seriousness it's probably for their benefit. We'll sell out regardless and we all know that, maybe their numbers don't produce as much on the 27th as they would on boxing day for whatever reason and this is purely for the sake of both teams agreeing on a way to both make the most of the fixture. |

That is EXACTLY what it is Shmyro. I can understand the financial side of things,but why should we care about Sheffields big crowd ? How about Panthers management sticking up for their own fans and saying to Sheffield,NO we had an agreement (which they did) that we switch venue each year,instead of our management not giving a toss about their own fans having to travel every Boxing Day. At a guess,I would say the Steelers pay Panthers a percentage of that bigger Boxing Day crowd.......so yet again money talks ! Personally.......I think it stinks !!!! |

Personally i prefer the 27th as Boxing Day is usually far too busy with family, would struggle to make a home game on Boxing Day and have zero chance of making it to Sheffield.
I'd assume Panthers aren't too bothered because lots of people are busy on Boxing Day compared to the 27th.
Agreements never stick in the EIHL though, if it's not broken they won't fix it.. and even then they'll just stick some tape to cover it over.

My guess is that this is probably correct. Whichever day it is over Christmas the Panthers are likely to sell-out, but from a Sheffield point of view the Boxing Day date suits us better. I suspect in return for giving us the Boxing Day game, we give you the 1st choice of dates for some of the other fixtures between our two teams. Not particular fair on your supporters, because trains don't run on Boxing Day, but from a financial point of view this probably works best for both our clubs. Regards Doom |

27th works best for me and judging by the fact that the NIC sells out 4 weeks in advance suggests it's best for most other people too.

Regards Doom Try reminding Simmsey of that possible "first choice of dates agreement" Doom,next time he's bleating that Panthers were being less than helpful. I seem to remember that's what he splashed in big letters all over the place last season when he didn't get the leg he wanted.....do you remember that one ? |

I don't really care which day it is,I just object to Panthers as usual,not giving a toss about their own fans. You obviously don't mind having the wee wee regularly taken out of you by them.....I do though. I guess some people like me try to stick up for themselves and their own and others are just happy to be well trodden doormats all the time ! |

I believe Simmsey said that Nottingham Arena no longer wanted to open on boxing day, hence that game always being in Sheffield. Not 100% sure though

In the grand scheme of things does it really matter what day the home game is? A lot of people reserve Boxing Day for family so obviously having the game in Sheffield benefits those who do see their families on Boxing Day.
I really don't see how we're getting trodden on by this, it seems it benefits most which is surely a good thing?

A lot of people have two sides of family though Jonno.
Go to Mum and Dads on Christmas Day and then the in laws on Boxing Day or vice versa......oh wait,can't go there Boxing Day,were in Sheffield !
I'm just trying to fight Panthers fans corner here,because in my opinion Panthers management always just take their fans for granted.
If people don't kick up and make a noise now and again,they will just keep taking the proverbial.
Perhaps Panthers should try learn a lesson......from Brexit.
Complacency is a dangerous thing !

Or just don't go to Sheffield and spend the day with your family? Is your scenario any different if we all have to go to the NIC, except it affects a lot more of us? |

Not sure where you live Yotes,but it takes a lot longer to get to Sheffield and back than it does the NIC. I don't really care what scenario it is,I'm just amazed at the apathy of a lot of Panthers fans,who will just sit back,put up with anything,say nothing and get treated as mugs by the Panthers management. It's about time the Panthers looked after their fans instead of treating them with disdain. |

It's not that they will just put up with anything they say
It's a fixture for a sporting game, they can plan around it, more to life and all that
I really don't think the Panthers are taking the **** here and honestly the majority of the fanbase won't give a rats backside which day the home or away game is
I'm not so sure that panthers fans will just say nothing regardless of what panthers management say but this is a case of making something out of nothing

However ill be there on the 27th. Not a lot of 'wee wee' being taken really. |

In the meantime,I shall carry on giving my opinion. You will see the light one day ! |
