First boycott of the season. Aladdin cup is a lazy concept even for a friendly. What happened to the charity cheese board or a game against a decent European team? Nope just another game against a team we will play 10 times this year. Plus players are missing. No thanks. I hope we are full strength for the Cardiff game.

In all fairness, we are playing opposition against teams of European quality in France. I know Cardiff got the KHL team but they gave them access to their ice pad for a week, something Panthers could never offer. With that in mind, it's difficult to attract teams to uproot their training camp to come here

Its a joke really!
Cardiff and Sheffield have their teams in so will be ready to go come September, we will still have a half strength team and be tinkering with lines by October!
Obviously haven't seen them play, but on paper we have signed a 4th 5th place team.
We used to be the team to beat, now we are a laughing stock!

OS says both teams will be short of 2 or 3 players, at this current moment Panthers are missing 4 I think. Moran, Schulz, Spang, Nikiforuk.

Panthers are now saying..
"Both sides missing two or three players because of visa and flight issues. Marc Levers and Tom Norton will be back in Panthers' jerseys as guests from Peterborough.
New signing Dan Spang is in a race against time to get to Nottingham in time and another newcomer Alex Nikiforuk will be absent as he awaits his visa clearance but other newcomers Jeff Brown, Matthew Carter, Andy Sertich, Erik Lindhagen will be in the Panthers' line-up alongside returning favourites from last season's double-winning campaign......"
So interpret that as you will....

That would suggest to me that all of Moran, Schultz & Dimmen will play.
We'll definitely miss Niki, replacement Cam and maybe Spang? (2 or 3.)
Unless Gary is using the return of Marc and Tom to cancel out 2 of them.

So interpret that as you will.... I have done.........that we could be 5 or 6 imports missing tomorrow. Just like we suggested we would be a month ago !

No way am I wasting £££'s on this when the full team is not in. Shouldn't be charging more than £10 per person for this game.

Looking at who the club have STATED have arrived we'll have:
8 Forwards - Larry, Carter, Brown, Lacho, Clarke, Farmer, Macmillan, Betteridge
And 5 Dmen - Lee, Waugh, Lindhagen, Sertich, Oakford
So in total we are missing 6 imports - Moran, Schultz, Nikiforuk, IMPORT, Spang and Dimmen, unless they jump off the plane tomorrow into their skates.
I bought tickets a while back for the match tomorrow hoping that we would have close to a full squad. The league is getting closer and closer with each passing season, the club is very naive if they believe that these situations are of little importance in terms of how our season pans out. All other teams have their squads here and are pushing themselves, Cardiff being the prime example with the recent games with Zagreb. The Steelers are looking strong with a team that has been assembled in specific manner with set lines already in place that are gelling, tgis showed in the CHL game they played.
As the saying goes 'Fail to Prepare then Prepare to Fail'

People pay full price to see a full team. Witout exaggeration i find it utterly disgusting the club can charge full admission to watch a patch work squad for Neil Blacks wooden spoon pre season game. The club need to sort it out, the talks on here of protests and boycottes are justified and I'm sick of watching our rivals beat us in every aspect off the ice while we release statements claiming so much prestige when we can't even get the blooming player here on time or even give the fans a minute of their time that doesn't involve making a profit. I've been going to games for almost 20 years and the fact that our bad days now don't seem so bad irritates me to the core.

Anyone got the line up and scorers/assists for my stats please? At work and challenge game stats are hard to get hold of when not on the Elite site.

As the saying goes 'Fail to Prepare then Prepare to Fail' As we have to wait until the Cardiff match for home action, I went along. When previously I wrote to the club when we played Asiago (which I have previously commented on) , I was asked to ring them and got a full reprimand from GM - allowing little interaction from myself. It makes the hype about back in training, players jetting in etc from the club look a bit grubby. It was a decent turnout, but we were shortchanged. I hope for those going over to Amiens next week, that the team which takes the ice is more representative of a full squad. Out on the ice, I thought the new imports looked good, particularly Carter and Sertich. Wiikman was left exposed for easy goals, but then in the circumstances difficult to criticise what was probably a tiring team.

So the Panrhers official website claimed that we were missing 2 or 3 players.
We were missing 6 imports.
Why weren't they honest about it?

I have always said they lie about all sorts of things and especially to sell tickets. If anybody needed proof,then last night gave it to you.....they said "missing 2 or 3" and we were missing 6 players. Typical Panthers !

Been fun reading a certain poster in the past few days who has been defending Panthers with great passion...... Would be interesting to see a defence of the '2-3 players missing' statement from this poster....

The thing that really surprised me last night was the amount of people leaving before the end. I have never ever seen so many Panthers fans get up and leave before the game is over before in all of our years of going.
