This is like the first additional charge, besides booking fee, I've ever known the arena to dish out and they've stated why they did it and we'll see the improvements next season. New scoreboard and new plexi, I feel sorry for people who sit lower down because the plexi is truly awful in some places and hopefully the height of the plexi will be increased in the areas which see people hit by the puck frequently. The only fans who benefit from a new scoreboard and new plexi are ice hockey fans, the club won't pay for it on their own and neither will the arena. Fans have been saying how dated the scoreboard is and how good it'd be for a new one, for a long time and there's always comments about plexi every so often. I don't know how much the facility fee is, I know it's in the pennies though so is it actually that big a deal? The facility fee is £0.90 on an adult ticket so from EIHL hockey alone this season they will rake in something like £200k. How many years have we been paying this fee now (two is it) and how much is a new scoreboard ? Mmmm....It’s another rip off ! Perhaps they should run Ryanair? |

This years was the first for the "facilities fee". Ok. So once WE have bought the new board when can we start charging other events for using it....then spend the income on a better quality team ? 😄 |

The ice plant will probably be next on the list. I'm sure it'll be coming up for a major overhaul considering it's age. Unless we want to play on ice like Manchester. |

I've got a radical idea .. move away from the NIC and have our own facility! Never liked the place.

Course it won’t go away,they’ve got ya now. But why should Panthers fans pay for a new ice plant,it’s the bloody National Ice Centre,were not the only ones who use it. I’ve never known another business that blatantly makes its punters pay for building renovations. |

TBH, I hope you're right, hopefully a dominating performance which reflects in the scoreline |

I doubt this will be empathic tbh. Pacha is a decent coach. Can only see a one goal game myself either way

As the Value for money is not good and there is a "facilities" surcharge partly for a new scoreboard which isn't needed I will skip the remanning home matches. Its a matter of principle In theory, the new scoreboard should hopefully enhance the fan satisfaction and fan interaction during games. I don't think it'll be as big as Sheffields but hopefully it can do the same if not more. I believe the facility fee is down to the arena, not Panthers, too. The facility fee applies to all events, not just Panthers. Might well be all events although I suspect this is more to do with panthers fans (the arenas biggest users base) not being highlighted as the only one charged. I am lead to believe this is a co-operation between panthers owner(s) and the NIC as neither wanted to pay and both wanted an upgrade so they decided neither will pay... incidentally what do users who aren't panthers fans get out of a replacement scoreboard?  |

Who cares, this is a game thread. 4-2 Panthers. |

Totally one sided so far, 2-0.
Stars did have one chalked off for some reason, much to Pacha's chagrin.

2-0 after 20. Panthers the much better side.
2 goal reviews go Panthers way. 2nd goal checked to see if it was kicked in, but definitely just hits the skate. Then Dundee score only to be washed out. Dundee player makes contact with Munson as he stretches to his right and impedes him. Omar wasn't too happy.

2-0 Panthers end of the first. An actual decent period of hockey from the panthers but that could be due to how poor Dundee have been.

Think Pacha is going to blow a gasket.
Don't care how Dundee are playing, hopefully things continue as they were and we put them to the sword. Might be able to get Sjogten pulled.
Munson starts, Garnett on bench, interesting considering we're not playing tomorrow.

4-0, Dundee have fluffed their lines a few times but still very one sided.

4-1 end of 3rd, poor period for both teams and not a lot happened apart from a fight between Billingsley and Marquadt

Shame for Munson, he deserved the shut out. That was the level of performance not only expected but required to win things. Shame it’s come with 5 games left to play.

I think that playing a team as bad as that helped confidence but I don’t think we will get it that easy (until next Sunday anyway) Just hope the rumours aren’t true and we see Dundee again next season. |

Nice to see us control a game from start to finish...been a while!
Quite a bit of niggle in this game which surprised me
