Fans coming from a minimum of 9 other cities, not forgetting there are also now a couple of foreign fan groups I know who come for POFW in what is often not the most hygenic venue. Remove hockey and your passion for the sport. Are you happy for such an event to take place in the city you live in? Here in Toronto we have a low number of cases but turns out I got on a subway on Monday with an infected person on one of the carriages. Suddenly when it feels real and on your doorstep then your view alters slightly. Certainly no need to panic and lock yourselves in until it's all over but depending on how much it spreads in the UK then the discussion must be had about POFW and whether the risk is worth it. I get it's critical for the league for it to happen and a cancellation would have a huge impact but is it more important than people's safety if it was deemed there's a risk?

Well, tonight i've had my moment. Been into the game for 9 minutes. Bored senseless. Walked out and gone to the pub. I have friends with me so will be hanging around whilst they watch the game then heading into town. I've had some drink today, out since 8.30am to watch Rugby, but usually a beer gets me more into the game. The fact i've had a beer and felt nothing when we scored and was bored tells me all I need to know now. I'll be passing my ST to a friend that still wants to go. I may pop to a few if I fancy but other than that im done. Sorry to hear that mate. It does come to most of us eventually but it’s certainly a strange feeling the 1st time you realise that you’re not really celebrating a goal for your team.

Hope it's half empty. Hope they lose. Hope Black is there. Regardless of my feelings of the club you can never want the club you're supposed to be a fan of lose!? I get where you're coming from but actively want to lose? Never. Totally get you. They are not really my club anymore and I’m definitely no longer a fan. I hope the gates continue to fall.

Wouldn’t go if you paid me. Hope it’s absolutely deserted...
Bitter and twisted? Maybe... Loving this season and reading all the comments.

Won’t happen. Apathy reigns supreme within the Nottingham Panthers fan base.

If it is an announcement of sale (mostly wishful thinking on my part), then that'd go some way to explaining the seemingly reduced playing budget this year - clubs normally trim costs as much as possible during a sale to make it as attractive as possible Yes, 7 straight defeats and 8th in the table make Panthers look like a cracking waste of money at the moment... For goodness sake....

More changes? There hasnt been any changes yet! Agreed. Jakobs had a quiet weekend, he should be first to be released. You are funny Bobness.... I mean you're not, you're absolutely tedious but still well done for trying.

Steelers let them off the leash tonight. Finished Fife 3-10 Sheffield. Simmsey forgotten about the code again?

Caught a bit of it, will try to get the rest this evening. Some interesting stuff, especially noticing how the stance has changed towards the ownership from some over the last couple of years.

Bob, I’m sorry but you are either unbelievably naive or have an ulterior motive for you posts.
The Panthers roster on paper compared to Sheffield, Cardiff and Belfast when you consider our attendances over the past decade is an absolute disgrace and an insult to all Panthers fans.
The fans are shortchanged and treated like absolute mugs.

2 of his best moments against Bern in the CHL.
Away from home putting 1 of them into their own bench.
At home picking it up in his own zone, skating through neutral ice before firing a wrist shot over Genoni’s glove.
Always felt like he tried his best so fair play to him.

On the general subject I think they could be playing a dangerous game this season. If they end up well adrift of the title challengers early this year on top of last seasons effort they could lose even more fans than they already have. Once people stop going religiously it’s difficult to get them back as many people find other things to do. Surely that’s a risk every season and not unique to this season? If we went and assembled an “expensive” roster and failed, that risk would still be there. I still don’t buy that we’ve been robbed with a cheap roster. I actually think this roster is one of the more exciting ones we’ve had for a while regardless of cost because there’s a game plan identified with 2 or 3 hockey people with EIHL experience leading the way Obviously up to you how you see things. All about opinions. A lot of fans have been feeling mugged off for years and 4th seems to be the most common prediction for our league finish.

Makes for pretty depressing reading this. A Panthers forum, before a puck has been dropped and not a single fan has us finishing any higher than 4th! A sad state of affairs really.
As for a prediction...
1/2/3 Any of Giants, Devils, Steelers.
4/5/6 Any of Panthers, Clan, Flames.
7/8/9 Any of Blaze, Storm, Flyers.
10 Stars.

Just a cheap shot for me. You see more and more of this type of thing on social media and forums. People seem to be unable to cope with someone having a different viewpoint from them. On topic, I can't see this changing the ethos of the club so i'm unconvinced it will have much impact on the way things are run. Nothing against GD though so all the best to him. Think it’s fair to say though, Iginla never comes to games and loves to pull the whole organisation apart. Whatever they do he moans at, so it’s not a cheap shot - more an observation than anything else Maybe he does. If what he says is wrong or stupid then he would be easy to beat in a discussion wouldn't he? Just thought it was playground stuff from Pies and for some reason expected better.

Can’t say I’m seeing anything particularly exciting or different here. Whats going to change other than you basically got somebody else in on recruiting. Remember they’ve always said Moran is not involved in recruiting so it doesn’t kick him down the road on that score. And we’ve brought in another from the previous old boys club,who from what we know has little or no experience of directing or coaching professionally. Mmmm,see who the coach is before this is any sort of decent move because i’m not seeing it. Good job you don’t got anymore so you don’t need to worry about this! Very childish post from anyone. Especially from a Mod.

After a car crash of a season (Yes finishing 3rd in a 4 team league and winning no trophies is just that when you are the biggest club in a sport) we hear nothing from above. It is unbelievable that our owner , or GM, do not feel the need to communicate properly with the fans. Sheffield, although much maligned, have done this exceptionally well and released all the information straight away for the last two years. Their fans have been immediately reassured. Our club does not consider or look after its fans in this way. They are also unable to make tough decisions. Some of our players are on two year deals but we need to release them from them as they are good enough. The time to speak to the fans is now not by drip feed. This is not a thread of insults but a plea to respect your fan base. We don’t want other teams fans to regard our club as arrogant but that is what they often say. The supporters need a strong statement that outlines the high level of aspiration the club has and zero tolerance for uncommitted players followed by swift action and multiple player releases ( virtually all imports) as well as a couple of marquee signings and a coach. No I don’t think I could do the job better but I do know from a fans perspective what impressive leadership looks like. Look, just fill out your season ticket form and pipe down. There's a good customer.
