Just seen that Cardiff have everyone bar Andrew Hotham at their training camp. Could be a very one-sided weekend if we don't get our missing imports in.

I must admit the more you look at the devils the more envious i get. They are well run as a club and well drilled as a team. Wish we could take a leaf out of their book. 😔 |

Probably see their fans as more than just a revenue stream.

This is a point that needs to be made to NB at the next meeting. Devils from top to bottom have everything a club like us deserve.

To be fair i think every club should be run like devils. Fans pay good money to watch a minority sport in this country and the least you expect is that all clubs should repsect their fanbases by performing and running to best of their abilities. Obviously some things like visa issues etc are out of the clubs hands but more often than not we seem to run into 'problems' Devils have proved with a bit of passion and commitment you can run a club easily and smoothly. Success off the ice will bring you success on the ice. Devils are proving that. I expect them to be at least in the top 2 again this season and for the foreseeable future. Hats off 👌

Panthers expecting to be 4 (5 if unsigned import is included) down on Saturday/Sunday (Derlago, Bussieres, Mokshantsev & Zakharchenko). Derlago awaiting his Visa stuff in the post by the sounds of it so in theory, if he's lucky he could be in around the weekend. The other 3 are still facing problems with their Visa's. Devils will probably be without Hotham but Lord could fill in, giving them a full 14 import roster on the game sheet. With us having 4 playing spots open for the weekend, I'm sure we'll see the 3 kids play. Who knows, could see Levers join us for a weekend again  |

I know they have announced the ones that arent here but not heard anything in news feeds/twitter etc. I believe so, Panthers uploaded a video to Instagram/Twitter earlier with a 'Matty B and Ollie B' whom I assume is Brisebois and Betteridge. Must be quietly going about his business though. |

Like you say maybe just a quiet guy who likes to just go about his business. Might be a nice change from our last seasons players who used to put play before work lol 😅

Does anybody know why the bronze section has 'shrunk' from 5 blocks to 3? Haven't seen any mention of this either on here or the official website.

But is this a Panthers decision or an NIC one? It seems to have happened 'under the radar' and nobody has either noticed or commented on it. |

I'd expect both to be responsible. Perhaps the rent got increased slightly and they decided to change 2 bronze blocks to silver to get some more money in. I found it annoying when I first saw it as there's pretty much a £1 increase on most tickets too, so as I tend to sit in 8 or 12, my ticket price has gone up by about £4 per game (Not a ST Holder) so that's another £80+ I'll be spending over the season if I choose to sit there again. Time to get a ST next season I think, personally. |

That's a really really sneaky move,kept that bloody quiet didn't they. Undoubtedly a Panthers decision as it wouldn't affect the arena whatever the ticket price. Panthers pay a flat fee for the arena hire so it makes no difference to the NIC whether it was £10 or £40 a ticket. That's probably just put another £20k a season into Panthers coffers. Poor show Panthers management. |

Poor show Panthers management. Why is it a poor show? Surely this is the time of year to be doing these of things. With average attendances now well over 5k I think this is the right move. It definitely beats an overall increase. I've actually always been surprised that blocks 4/6/14/16 aren't classed as gold also, the view from these block is excellent. |

Well Nick Considering some of the absolute tripe and completely worthless so called news that we are fed by Panthers, coupled with the endless amount of references to buying tickets,tickets and more tickets. You would have thought that something like changing two bronze blocks to silver would have at least been mentioned to the fans instead of just sneaking it under the radar and saying nothing. Typical Panthers poor fan treatment in my book ! |
