I was thinking the same, they have a poor record at the NIC from previous encounters but there's something about this Cardiff side with Pete Russell in charge and they beat Sheffield in Sheffield last week so I'm not so sure what the score is going to be. Can't be any worse than last weekend surely..

What is hard to fathom is that Pacha has been in this league for years and he too was a nasty little player that everyone hated, he knows what is needed to succeed in this league so why hasn't he signed that type of player. We have the skill but no one to 'police' the ice, we are constantly knocked off the puck. On a separate note & something Flying Shirt mentioned above, this venue is for a Saturday night out its in the centre of Nottingham with easy access, on Saturday night we had a whole row behind us in block 14 who hadn't got a bloody clue what was going off or even who they had come to see. The two girls behind were absolutely bladdered and spent the whole match screaming with another bunch behind, I'm surprised she didn't fall down the stairs and injure herself she even shouted why we didn't score a goal on an open net when Sheffield goalie went off for a penalty.. This is a regular occurrence this last few years with people coming in for the start of a Saturday night out on the lash, and to some extent there lies the problem because the crowds keep coming.

I'm sure the 14th is the cut off for the Sheffield cup game for ST holders Coventry closed last week or the week before.

Players will be in for a shock then on Sunday after being told we get a sold out arena. After visiting Sheffield and 8000+ crowd to ours half full. Not sure if its the arena that have set the prices or finance Freddie (because the arena costs have increased) but can't help thinking we've missed a trick here to even entice 'new' supporters.

Just don't want any injuries, didn't Sheffield injure one of our guys last season? Caruso?

I see Mr Simms has got exactly the response he wanted, he's trying to stoke a rivalry that is no longer there, to put bums on seats and to wind the opposition up and to all intent & purpose he's totally achieved that. My lot have done the best thing and that's stay away from Sheffield and don't give them any money, don't have him on Twitter and don't follow him on social media problem solved. Just need our lot to beat them at the weekend now or we'll never hear the end of it. fingers crossed.

Exactly, this sport in the UK has to be big time entertaining as that’s a huge part in going, skill and speed are huge but this sport needs something else to other sports to attract the punters. Clan seem to be going down a pretty good road, tough cookies who can also play should be the order of the day. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Glasgow Glasgow is going to be very interesting now they are out the clutches of NB, I see the other guy is still there tho' the one they hid out the limelight till all fuss died down over that signing last season.

Just seen this prior to being announced by the club yet but they’ve accidentally let it slip on their Youtube account! Solid if unspectacular forward from the NCAA in terms of points, incidentally played at the same University where Cade Neilson is currently for a couple of years prior to Maine. No, they didn't let it slip they knew it was on there.

Correct and don’t forget Finance Freddie is now watching the pennies for daddy, Omar just the front of it. And Baggie is correct it was the treatment or lack of it that saw the Brits finally depart. Whatever anyone thinks of Lacho he’s the prime example and is now seeing how another club values it’s Brits.

I don't think Perlini was ever in the mix to return to Nottingham, he had such a distaste for the club after the treatment last time I would be surprised if we ever see him again. I think Ollie is only back here because its close to home and he wants to be home.

Unfortunately I missed the call yesterday, but had a voice mail from Lisa wanting to talk about my season tickets that I haven't renewed. Hope she rings back I' m looking forward to the conversation. A little disappointed though as last year it was Pasha that called to get me to part with my hard earned. Obviously the fans aren't considered as important this year. I haven't had any calls but my friend has had a couple asking about the season renewal. They asked about why they were thinking of not renewing and my friend asked how long they had got to listen.. 40 minutes she kept her on the phone..lol But does look like we are going to be in for another 'cheap' year as this new coach works wonders with a small budget.

Wouldn’t want him back and looking at Steeltalk they don’t want him either. Played Panthers and Cardiff off against each other and was coming to Nottm until Sheffield stepped in . Did hear from someone that knows his partner that they were going to try France for a year.

There were lots of great images of players celebrating at the end of the game, proudly holding their children,partners etc. Just imagine how proud you would be if your son was part of the team, even better if he scored a goal or two in the last match,AND was voted GB's best forward. AND you got to see him do all this standing behind the bench. Corey (and family) must be feeling great today. Cade has been outstanding. Also watched by his Mum, brother (who by the way is another excellent prospect) and his very proud Grandparents who travelled from Fife. Brilliant performance from this young lad who is not yet a professional hockey player . Also mention for the other ‘newbies’ especially Halbert so had an excellent tournament. Atmosphere was unreal, better than any league game I have seen in a very long time.

Sheffield will offer £50 more than NB is willing to pay, just hope Ollie has a good think about us and see that things have changed since the old regime was here.

Perlini to return aswell as Ollie. From what I here Ollie would rather play here than go to any other EIHL teams. No offers made yet. If P Hopefully it’s true Baggy because they both left for the same reason, hopefully we’ve changed enough to entice them back. Ollie would be a major coup. Errr Latal..no thanks and Mosey No thanks

You heard it. Chat has finished and the action starts next season. Just listen and await the results, no getting excited yet as we have previously. Assume he came for the play-offs? Assume someone told him that’s not the usual scene every week. All the best to the man, as long as he can set HIS stall out and communicate with the players. Think he was here for Guildford as he said a week ago. could be wrong tho' Anyway, Good Luck to him hope he knows how to buy a team on a budget because while ever NB is here its going to be cheap cheap and cheap. He doesn't know what he's let himself in for.

If we come out like we did against Guildford on Saturday we will win this one.

So the two guys who love the club and have invested time and money trying to purchase the club are basically being shafted again by NB because Viaplay obviously offered about £50 more than they did... sounds right up Neil’s street. There are no words to describe him. Hopefully the Clan are well rid, us next please.

He’s an utter joke and poisonous to this league, who the hell does he think he is. He needs booing at the playoff weekend or calling out by the united fans of every team. It’s about time he sold up both clubs and cleared off. He doesn’t care a damn about anyone but himself mind you that probably goes for one or two others on the elite board aswell, just lining their own pockets.

Looking at the arena these are the seats currently left. All of Block 1 & 2 Sheffield 300 left Coventry 57 left Belfast 5 left Guildford 4 left Manchester 230 left Glasgow 332 left Dundee 126 left Cardiff 106 left Panthers 309 left Fife 228 left
That's around 1697 still available but I assume if either Panthers or Steelers make the weekend they will sell out.

I watched it online live. Nottingham Building Society, the clubs main sponsor, didn’t send anyone. Annie from the Burger Shack got up and presented for them. Poor on NBS’s part. A lot of awards were nominated by fellow players / sponsors. Felt sorry for Ken having to stand there being all positive. I know him through work and he’s a decent guy. To be honest I thought Annie from the Burgershack looked quite scruffy, most of the others at least looked smart to present the trophies, she came as a 'stand in' for the Nottm BS she didn't look any different to when she 'skips' onto the ice on match days.

Can you almost see it written in the stars that we’ll get Steelers in the qtrs and knock them out. Depends how desperate our lot are to get home.

They had a back up Nettie in, good to win but too little too late. Let’s see how they get on against a better team tomorrow in a rink we hardly ever win in. Now that would be worth celebrating.
