There was an interesting thread on SteelTalk regarding advertising (the fact that the Panthers and the Giants got complimented made it interesting in itself). Some good ideas were being made and then his Lordship posted: "To reply to MarkB, good marks for trying to make cheap political points without being aware of the full facts. With refrence to the free delivery, I beleive that the chap from the deleiver company has also spoken with Catherine Locking as well as my self and Norton Lea. To make use of the "Free" delivery we have to have an offer / promotion to market and advertise. I am sorry and embaressed to say that "at present" we dont have any such offers to make use of the kind offer we have received." No-one ever seems to have the 'full facts' when Simms is around, only he and he alone has the full facts (oh yeh - like us breaking the wage cap, his full facts were erm not facts and erm not full!) Having a dig at Sheffield own supporters, didnt he send them a begging/love e-mail recently to encourage them to support the Steelers - surely you dont start insulting them, then again Simms is above everyone isn't he, and can insult anyone he wants can't he?  Hes embarressed about whats happening up the road. You would never believe it would you. How can you possibly be embaressed about the greatest institution on this earth?? Do you just get the feeling, that with Uncle Nort going out the door, Simms is now starting to to mouth off about how dreadful things are up the road. Of course the people who buy the Steelers will the most wonderful thing since... erm.. Norton Lea, and erm... Darren Brown before him  Keep up the entertainment Simms. Regards HL |

He's actually starting to annoy me now.
I dunno what they need some sort of promotion for to take advantage of someone who is willing to print off fixture cards and then get them delivered by his own people. All they want in return is some free tickets to a match. It really isn't a lot to ask. But Simms always wants to make more out of this than there actually is.
Noone up here will ever have the full facts and we will never be able to make suggestions over how the club should advertise etc because we are only the supporters who keep dropping in numbers and are keeping the club alive. I think they're gonna keep eletting our numbers drop until it is only viable playing out of Ice Sheffield.
We keep making suggestions and we keep having them thrown back in our faces, sometimes I wonder why we bother.
But yeah Simms is beginning to pee me off and numerous others, who he has already pee'd off quite considerably.

Well, whilst I was in belfast, I managed to pick up some of the aforementioned cards, and they looks very good.
Not only do they have the home fixtures, they also have space to get a signature from their 'favourite player' - how much of an insentive is this for a small kid wanting to go to a game!!!!!

Thats a good move by them, great idea to get the kids wanting to go, and to drag there parents along aswell.

Jeez, ignore the guy if he annoys you so much Anton I think it is important to show Simms up for the sort of character he is. For too long hes got away with his hate, vitriole and hypocricy for everything non-steelers (and even things Steelers now!!) As Newton states: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". As long as Simms continues the way he does there will be people like me ready to ridicule him. Its quite amusing really because hes not the sharpest knife in the draw, and he tends to put his foot (or feet) in his mouth more often than not. I see myself as providing Cageforum folks with a little chuckle at his expense. There are folks out there who dont like the fact that I, and others, show Simms up for what he is, but hey thats life ain't it! As you sow...etc Once he publicly starts showing some respect to hockey folks who dont support Sheffield then he will stop being ridiculed. If you ask me I should get a kinighthood for services to Ice Hockey ;D LOL HL |

There seems to be a few rumours getting wiped off the official forum, wiped if they are true or wiped if they are too untrue, i dunno. But www.houseofsteel.co.uk has the rumours on now. Hard to know what to believe! |

Hard to know what to believe! If M*** C****** , whom I believe owns the Coventry Blaze does buy the Steelers does this mean: 1. The Steelers will become the farm team for the Blaze  2. Simms, head of the Sheffield Steelers 'family', will become head of the Coventry Blaze 'family' ( I think he prefers to go to Blaze games anyawy doesnt he rather than travelling to watch Steelers on the road ) RIP Coventry Blaze if Simms becomes your mouthpiece as well.
