Did anyone complain after the finals?

I'm just curious as to whether many people actually took the time to write to the Elite League about the events at the end of the final, and if they did if they had received a reply or not.

I don't want this thread to turn into another bout of morality, or digging up old discussions, so would ask that people only post in answer to the question. (mods can you make sure this does not go the same way as other threads have been)

I will start the ball rolling. I wrote to them on the 6th April and have not had a reply.

Letter sent on this matter on 8th April.

Several Letters/emails sent on various matters, some of them on a professional basis, some personal - to date I have had only 1 reply, by email, declining any interest in an idea aimed at increasing the exposure of the EIHL.

Email. 7th April. No acknowledgement. No reply.

Hopefully you're all behind me in the queue as I emailed them with questions about Jody's antics in Cardiff and am yet to receive a response.

If the queue starts in Cardiff it probably stretches way beyond the Midlands, any new complainers may want to book flights to Hamburg and join the line :-)

what do you expect them to do ?

[Yotes]

Have the decency to respond in any form?

[britboy215]

My better half wrote and got no reply either

I think the 'bringing the game into disrepute' rule needs to be looked at and re evaluated, if it exists.

Lets go the full hog and ask for the rule book to be published.

The league should make a statement. It shows poor communication between the league and the fans. Firstly the league should take example of these players just like the NHL has with Sean Avery. I also believe the league should start introducing fines. I'm a firm believer in 'hit em where it hurts'.

So if they had sent a reply of "thanks for your email" that would appease people?

I get the impression people wanted some sort of sanction, its not going to happen, it will never happen, especially as the player in question (Lehman) has now left.

Let it go

well Sheffield do run the league blah blah blah

He wasn't the only one showing the fingers though?

What about the alleged bar happenings involving players

I sent them an email with some questions in. I wanted some more information. I was curious. I felt/feel entitled to do so.
If they'd replied with the answers, I would have been happy. If they replied saying they couldn't give me the answers, I might have been happy (depending on the reason(s)). Instead they have chosen to ignore my questions completely, therefore I am unhappy.
Simples.
Not about the incidents in question, its about the way people communicate/conduct themselves.

I made a compliant.

I got a rather courteous reply from Gary Moran. I can't say that it makes the situation right but my niece and her mother and father were pleased that that the poor girls trauma didn't go unnoticed.

Dave Simms didn't reply.

Gary very kindly escalated the complaint to Andy French and the EIHL. Sadly I am still waiting for a reply. If you're reading Gary - thanks for the reply and thanks for doing the right thing.

[ted]

i didnt complain, didnt see anything complain about.

[spik]

Those that say 'why should the Elite reply' or 'what can they say anyway' could well be Elite material themselves, I quess, if that's the norm in their line of work.
I spoke directly to an Elite official and all I got was a laugh in reply.When I said I meant what I said, the face dropped.

I apologise for my part in that, I forgot about the original post! ;D

I think it would be only fair if Sheffield were banished from the league and all their players put in stocks in the Market Square for Panther's fans to throw hockey pucks at.

Then, Sheffield be stripped of all league and cup titles to date and those honours transferred to the trophy cabinet at the fabulous NIC which would mean that we are the current league and playoff champions! Woohoo, let's celebrate...

if it was just us and the caps we would still manage to come second ;D

I'm sure the Elite league have invested in a new carpet to sweep this all under and forget about it.
