We need to overturn that loss to a win v Lithuania from last year. Beat the locals and Ukraine .....easy lol
Seems harder to get back into the second tier these days.

So, is that a 7pm start tomorrow then? Says on the official site 20.00 GMT+2, I take that to mean 20.00 local time, which is 2 hours in front of GMT. Being as we are now on BST here which is one hour in front of GMT that should mean a 7pm, I think.....

Premiere sports really are a poor excuse of a sports channel . What's the point advertising GB games if they are shown 2 hours later !! Show them LIVE for heavens sake or not at all

A shaky start from GB, but we gradually settled down and took control. Good teamwork in defence helped Bowns out, and he was equal to the task of cleaning up everything else. Nice to see that we only conceded while defending a 5-on-3.

Not usually a fan of GB games but I thought we took control and played very well. The big Croatia forward looked like he would be a handful on our league too. Croatia really came out to hard in the 1st and played into our hands a bit. Ashley Tait was a VERY lucky guy at the end too.

I'm sure I heard Murph say it was a sold out crowd... but looking round the stands the place was empty, very good support from GB & very loud. Well done to all.

We were all amazed, because we had been told that a sell-out was expected... very disappointing from the home nation. Not often we dominate the fans battle that easily! |

We were all amazed, because we had been told that a sell-out was expected... very disappointing from the home nation. Not often we dominate the fans battle that easily! No way near sold out! Good contingent from GBSC but the end seating was empty. I spotted 3 Ukrainian supporters & no Romanians! There's a smattering of Lithuanians & Estonians. Makes me think we'd do a good job in GB running a championship ... but then we wouldn't be able to go overseas! |

How likely that is, I have absolutely no idea! |

I guess they could, or Braehead, given the size of the arena. Not too big ... just wouldn't be quite the same as a trip overseas!
I certainly think we'd make a good event of it. There are no flags out at the arena here, you wouldn't know something was going on!
One thing to learn is don't out-price folk!
