At the NIC on Tuesday the 1st of November.
Just looking at getting some tickets for this, never been to a GB game before....
Do they usually get good crowds? I can't see much at all low down in the bowl...
Cheers in advance

Usually there's around 2000-3000 when it's been against Poland, maybe a few more. Norway will sell better though being a much bigger and better opposition.
I keep seeing things about Mats Zuccarelo being in Norway's lineup but nothing on the Norway website or anything releated on Norway's side. It'd be superb if he was over but being in the first few weeks of the NHL season starting, would Rangers really let him come over here?

Are season ticket seats still reserved or something as it looks like being a really big crowd from the seating plan?

Hes Rangers best forward probably. No way they let him come over for a friendly during the season.

Thats how I've been looking at it but someone amongst Cardiff's media (BBC Cardiff?) said he would play and that people should come down to watch him. It'd be amazing if he did but very doubtful really

Does anybody know if the Panthers car parking season ticket at the broad marsh covers this game ? Thanks in advance

Good game tonight, think Norway were good value for it and Bowns made some decent saves along the way.
Crowd always rather disappoints at these sort of things, not just GB, but Panthers in Europe was similar numbers. It's a bit odd to me. Maybe a more fan friendly pricing structure could've been the way to go. Will be interesting to hear how many Cardiff get.

A very good game of hockey. I honestly think Lacho plays better in these games because Euro hockey suits his style more. Bowns was incredible at times and fluffed soft shots at others!
An enjoyable game but I find it hard to have the passion for GB as I do Panthers and these atmospheres don't help!

Same here,I couldn't give a stuff about GB hockey,especially a friendly. It's not like supporting your team,it's like watching a collection of misfits !

And me !
Total waste of time. If it was down to me there wouldn't be a import limit in the EIHL! Most fans of old go to watch the imports every night. The EPL is where the brits should play.
GB hockey bores the life out of me

Very good result for GB last night.It was a shame they could not hold out for a victory, against a very fast and skillful Norway side. It was good to see youngsters like Betteridge, Kirk and Duggan not looking out of place, proving how important it is for us to keep developing our home grown talent. There were twenty two imports playing tonight, (all good enough to have been signed by Panthers, so iginla and Pidge could have enjoyed half the game. I would say it was the biggest crowd for a GB game I have seen and the first one without the curtain being used.

Disappointing to see some of the comments on here. It was a good quality game. GB games don't generate big crowds ... it'll be interesting to see what it's like in Belfast next year.

I thought £12 was a good price! The parking cost me more! Mine was £15 each I think, after the ST extra discount. Obviously it's difficult to know if people are put off by the price, or just have no interest in it, but they might do better with a lower price and higher turnout.

Block 12 was the freebie block last night, a lot of newbies.
I went more to watch Norway, overall i was quite disappointed in them as i was expecting them to stomp all over us. I was quite impressed with GB though, the way they played was awesome and leaves you wondering why half the players selected aren't that good when with their respective clubs.
Farmer played well besides the last 5 minutes where he was intent on leaving his mark on the Norway players. Lachowicz played very well, Betteridge-Kirk-Duggan line was great to watch. Kirk is a real gem and the future for Steelers, Duggan.. Very tenacious and level headed, threw hits and took them too, can definitely tell he's been trained in Sweden. It'll be a battle for any EIHL teams who want him for sure.

It was the best game I've seen at NIC for about a month. And yes, I have been to all the Panthers games. I thought GB played well, especially Bowns and Farmer. The young line also did themselves proud. That was also not the full Norway national team. As far as I could see, no NHL or SHL players, they seemed to be the up-and-comers with some veterans, probably equivalent idea to what GB is fielding in Cardiff tonight. I think there were only about 7 of the full team involved. The goalie I'd never heard of, he's not one of the usual trio. It cost £14 in silver blocks, without my ST discount,and there were a lot of newbies there. The ones near us seemed to enjoy it. Maybe they'll give Panthers a try.

1st ever GB game for me. I enjoyed it and was impressed with the team. Very fast paced game from start to finish.
Well played GB.

Forgive me,but with half a proper team each,what good did that game do either team ? Either play it properly,or don't bother doing it.
They didn't charge half price for tickets did they !

It's a friendly, or a training camp as the Norwegians have been calling it. It allows both teams to induct or try out new potential regulars. Plus it was also a good, close, entertaining game, which is what competitive spectator sports are about, right? Last night was pretty much our full GB team; all the EIHL "studs" I think. Only notable senior absences were Weaver and Lee who I think are playing tonight. I think tonight is our B team with younger players and EPL names that the coach wants to observe. I would be surprised if we get as close as 2-1. But if last night was anything to go by, the players will play with a lot of energy and pride.
