Simply Best performance of the season so far for me tonight, Madalora simply brilliant Netminder and made fine saves throughout. Defense not bad but were superb on the PK. Power-play 1 out of 2 not bad but still the same pass pass no shot. Manchester played their part looked very dangerous going forward but it was a matter of time before we scored. Best sight of the night the round of support to the Wilson Family after the Hockey family lost Wink last night. This one was for him tonight. Lastly Great game of Hockey, Ref was really good can we have him more often, He let the pay flow and made it very pleasurable to watch throughout. RIP Wink Wilson This is up there for the most incorrect post ever on an internet forum. Well done. Well jordannoooooo I was mistaken when I posted it. The sound system isn't the clearest at the NIC and I couldn't quite make it out. All I could hear was Wink. I know my mistake now but you didn't have to rub it in. We're human and not machines you know. (Corrections now made)

And where are the drums? They make such a difference to the atmosphere. Tell me about it! We must be the only venue to have an outright ban on musical instruments, I think it would add to the atmosphere by starting chants (I know I'm in a minority though). Get the organ back too! Can't beat organ music at hockey!

Not as many has yourself since I'm not a ST holder, but if you have to ask then I've been to 4 so far Fife, Cardiff, Sheffield and last night, but the games I have been too I have given my honest opinion on the night

To be fair Jordan,it's a struggle to hear at times,because whenever we have a minutes applause,the crowd always start clapping and cheering ten seconds before the end of the announcement. A bit like the end of the game Mom awards,when we can't even wait until the opposition leave the ice until we announce our Mom......please note Stef.

Have to say this was my fourth away game this year and comfortably the least welcoming as a visiting fan. Sticking vocal home fans in the middle of the away block is pretty shoddy. Least welcoming? I thought Ken was pretty welcoming to you guys, also, if you've ever been to a Steelers game as a Panthers fan, you'll know how unwelcome you feel! Unfortunately block 3 is "mixed block" and a lot of Panthers fans love to sit in row A, so if you want to be away fans only, you'd have to pick block 1 & 2. I completely understand that you wouldn't want to sit with away fans though, we had some Blaze fans a few weeks ago sitting behind us and I wanted to punch them (Block 11, even though away block was empty....). Most of us are lovely and welcoming in Nottingham!

Neither is correct imo, hence me asking the number of games you've seen this season. Storm haven't a clue away from home. Their forecheck is verging on abysmal. Strong forechecking teams terrify our defence. We had an easy ride last night. The Wilson mistake is very understandable given the terrible acoustics.

Firstly, why the obsession with 'away blocks'? This isn't football.
Secondly, if away fans feel that the NIC is an uncomfortable place to come to then good. If other teams want to put up posters welcoming our fans etc then that is their lookout. I want the NIC to be a bear pit that away teams and fans hate coming to.
This said, it must be a first for someone to claim the NIC is uncomfortable/intimidating/whatever. Usually the only sound you can hear is the shouts of the players and the "click, click, click" of the blue rinse brigade in 5 and 6 knitting.

I think there's a difference between away teams hating coming to the arena and away fans hating coming to the arena. A lot is made of the BBT and how nobody likes going down there... I think the reason for this is based on the fact that you go there expecting a loss because it's such an advantage to Cardiff. I don't know anyone who hates going there because of the fans or the off ice stuff.

I think there's a difference between away teams hating coming to the arena and away fans hating coming to the arena. Which is completely beside the point, given the one I made. I don't want either away fans, nor the team they're following, to be comfortable in any respect.

Whilst I quite agree I don't want rival fans and players being comfortable, I think having designated away areas helps increase the atmosphere for both sets of fans.

Put the away fans in block 1,then if they fill that give them block 2.....job done !
Still remember Ken asking the Newcastle fans one night if they had been saving there giro's to pay for the trip down. Haha that was a classic.

I remember one night long ago at the Metro when the mic had to be taken off of him at the end of one game before there was a riot.

I remember that FS,he was a complete idiot. It was after they beat us when Neilson opened his big mouth a couple of days earlier and said they played boring hockey.
Some bloke nearly punched him on stage at the end. Lol

The guy at Manchester was being heckled by a steelers fan for being fat. He said the reason he was fat was because every time he slept with the steelers fans mum, she gave him a biscuit. He didn't last long either.

That seems a long time ago now. I remember the apology on the Vipers site after and he seemed to calm down a bit after that

Maybe Storm just need a rivalry..... How about Belfast? Their fans always seem desperate to get one going with Panthers, perhaps they'll accept anyone who takes notice of them?
