What a sad, sad period this is in our wonderful club's history. Absolutely breaking my heart

Had to play 3 rounds too. Fairly sure everyone since has come in at the 3rd round stage. Yeah but the early round is a right farce though when you’re playing teams from Spain and Turkey etc. Brian Mcgrattan was laughing about playing teams from Turkey and even after they won the final Wiikman said on interview something like it was “no great achievement”. It was an achievement being the first British winner but being realistic there wasn’t a lot of quality in it that year. You can only beat the teams in front of you. I dont care what anyone says, we won it and no other British team has done since. For what it's worth, Beiberys Atyrau who were in that final with us were one hell of a team. 4 lines of bloody fast hockey players. Ritten were at home and could've won it if they'd beaten us. They didn't.

Cardiff beat Katowice, so I guess Astana have won it with a game to spare? Yes, they have

Well,after Nomad Astana battered Herning Blue Fox this afternoon, Cardiff can no longer win the competition. So yet again for another year, we are still the only British team to be crowned champions.I swear our achievement doesn't get the respect it deserves. Won all three rounds away from home too. For all the critics out there that constantly call it a Mickey Mouse competition,it seems pretty bloody hard for another Elite League team to win it doesn't it?

My opinion of him has sunk even lower than I thought it possibly could

I agree about Paredes. Poor fella must be inconsolable. First job outside of France, no family here, and this happens. The weight of responsibility on his shoulders must be immense. I've coached, absolutely not to the levels of this chap, but enough. You feel obligated to look after your guys. We all know that in no way is it anything to do with him but that will be of no consideration to his state of mind. He will be broken 💔

The fundraising efforts of lots of teams from various UK leagues are starting to be seen in the Memorial Fund: from hundreds of pounds to thousands of pounds, with one recent donations being over £5000 raised from the fans of one EIHL club last weekend, with more donations to come I'm sure. Makes you proud to be part of this hockey community at such a tough time. The fundraising as you say is quite incredible, £5000 from Cardiff fans and £2000 from Fife and other amounts from various clubs around the whole UK. We are still going to Scotland this weekend on the travel club it will do us all good to be together and to be able to talk and raise a glass to our No.47. Dundee have moved our tickets so we can attend Sunday night against the Clan and it will give us a chance to say Thank you to our wider hockey family for their love and support. Absolutely bloody wonderful. Have as good a time as you possibly can mate

I dropped by the arena today to pay my respects. I dont know why I felt the need to, but I did. I didn't go to the City Ground when Brian died, I've never really been one for showing emotion when people I dont know have passed away but something inside me just made me go. Its just so desperately sad. I picked up some flowers in the morning, pulled my works van onto the pavement and just had a minute. I hope his family know how much we care ❤️

I see posts from earlier and I just thought I would post this, I am not the biggest fan of NB in any way shape or form but please be assured he is as devastated as the rest of us. He has gone above & beyond to try and support everyone behind the scenes and there is lots to sort out, and yes I see where you are all coming from in the fact he hasn't shown his face but we have to accept that different people grieve in different ways and just like Jonathan who also didn't come out on Sunday they are devastated. I think at some point he will say something to all of us but at this moment in time we just all need to support each other as best we can. Thanks xx Thank you Elaine, that's reassuring, like I said, it wasn't a criticism, just an observation

Just an observation, some may call it a criticism but I can see why you'd call it that. Unless I've missed it, where is Neil Black? I'm pretty certain if this was something at Forest the Mr Marianakis would've spoken by now, and to be honest, most other people at the top of the tree at most organisations would've done too I think. Now behind the scenes he may be doing all sorts of things, but I want my owner leading from the front publicly. I want to see that he cares

2 days afterwards and I'm still in shock. I haven't been to a game for a few years and I still feel numb so I cannot even comprehend how the people involved must feel. Honestly,if I was a player I don't think I'd be able to play again for a very very long time, from either side

Hockey in Nottingham, and to be honest, the Elite League in general, will never be the same again. It won't be for me anyway. Rest In Peace Adam

It would appear that the Nottingham Panthers are finally getting the fanbase that reflects the ethos and direction of the owner. The days of this club being a sports team have been slowly slipping away for years and this is the result of it. Sad, sad times

Finally the POFW is losing its allure. I can understand the likes of Belfast and Cardiff fans not snapping up seats due to the cost of hotels, travel etc, but Panthers and Steelers fans snubbing it, wow!!. We've had a crap season so I can sort of understand our fans not bothering,but I'm really surprised at the Steelers giving it a boot into touch.

I cannot believe that there are still seats left in the Panthers blocks nearly 3 hours after we've qualified. Shows what the fans think
