Instead of boycotting a game or walking out, I think there'd be more of an impact if fans got together and protested outside the NIC or Panthers office tbh. We have a great many casual fans so regulars walking out our not going won't be noticed that much. Arena protest is great. Still think Neilson out chants are effective though and a nice big banner stretched across block 4 right in front of him.

Some sort of player revolt is likely the only way to oust Neilson. We all know Moran will bury this result as the week goes by, he only needs 4 news stories and it's off. Of course Moran will try to bury it,give it until Tuesday and it will all be spin and crap about the "exciting" Conti cup trip. Wow I bet the other teams are quaking in their boots about playing us ! Belfast game....I want to hear some Neilson out chants. If u see Moran on the concourse give him some heat too and let's make it hard for him. He won't make a showing, anyway he'll have you banned like he's tried with various other people .

Wouldn't be so smug though would he if every time he showed his face somebody collared him with awkward questions.

The frustrating thing is we are short yet sack Kalus and he is playing with the Lions while he finds a new team. Excuse me? Where did you hear that one? He trained this week with a local rec team I believe.

The majority of the "fans" are just there for a night out. The sort of situation that the Caps owner must dream about. nail on the head I am one of the old timers who used to go to every Panthers home game and a fair few away games including treks up to Ayr and Fife. I was ecstatic when the team moved into the new arena and still enjoyed it for a couple of seasons but then my enthusiasm started to wane. Not sure what it was but the atmosphere just wasn't the same. I was brought up on Tim Peacock, John Bremner, Terry Kurtenbach etc and liked to watch opposing players like Craig Homola, Chris Kelland, Kevin Conway and the like. I know times change and have to if teams are to compete financially but I don't like the corporate feel to a lot of sport these days. I go to a couple of games each year as I still keep an eye on the team but don't actually enjoy it that much. As the poster said it seems full of lagered up lads waiting to go into town. Can't comment on the players as I wouldn't know one from the other these days but the general feeling of anger following a heavy defeat to Sheffield brings back memories ! Good job my other team did well at Blackpool on Saturday.......who'd be a sports fan ?

I've said it for the past few seasons. Neilson out Moran out Black out
I've stopped going regularly because it's the same every season. We'll have a bash at the cup, maybe the play offs and call it a success. Supporters getting short changed and the money they pump in diverted away. It's no good getting rid of one, all 3 need to go if we are to see any real change in philosophy.

Just been reading the Supporters Trust thread (have'nt been on here in ages). THIS looks like the way forward! If you haven't checked it out yet, do so. GM would be absolutely FUMING if he thought he had to take the fans into consideration!

The most annoying thing for me is that they make it public about record breaking season ticket sales, record braking ticket sales for certain games etc yet we have basically a quater of the roster injured and what have they done about it? Other than bring in an inflatable bear? The scoreline Saturday was embarrassing but the off ice ongoings are more embarrassing than on it. As much as it pains me to say it the way the steelers are run is something moron and black should be aspiring to. One players leaves and he's replaced almost instantly, that's why they'll challenge for the league title and we won't. Total clear out of management is clearly needed and I'm all for some sort of walk out.

It's simple, boycott the Challenge Cup quarter against the Clan. It's not on the season ticket and sends a message... that said we did that last season and look where we are....

The problem with that is some people won't go anyway so they won't realise how many people are boycotting, I think people getting up and leaving mid way through the third period in a league game would send a big message, preferably when we are winning too

If you think a protest by way of boycotting one game will have any affect, you're wrong. It will need to be more prolonged than that to have any affect.

This is my first post, hi. May I ask the question, does anyone know who's advise, or recommendation(s) we are seeking, over the Atlantic, regarding the players we are signing? Can they be trusted too. If the Panthers office is reading this too, I have been going as a season ticket holder for 34 years, and not happy at all.

Ive not got a clue how to organise somthing like this but I'm more than willing to take part

Apparently Neilson has a radar according to the Panthers site but I think the batteries ran out three years ago.

We have a great many casual fans so regulars walking out our not going won't be noticed that much. Moran would laugh off, ignore, paint over, etc any protest. The only person to protest to is Neil Black until he gets fed up with it. When he is next at a game too ideally. Bypass the monkey and go straight to the organ grinder.

A mid game protest/walkout would have an impressive visual effect no doubt. It would have zero financial effect though so Black/Moron wouldn't care. Money is in the bank from ticket sales. Only the blessed few could think that any other than massive profit is their (GM/NB) holy grail.

Rather than leave early why not remain in your seat at the end. This would delay closing the arena and may cost Black money. If enough people joined in it would make the EP and possibly get some attention. People staying could also try to persuade others to join in.

This is my first post, hi. May I ask the question, does anyone know who's advise, or recommendation(s) we are seeking, over the Atlantic, regarding the players we are signing? Can they be trusted too. If the Panthers office is reading this too, I have been going as a season ticket holder for 34 years, and not happy at all. This is generally how it works. Corey identifies a player. He tries to tempt him over but the player says no I'm afraid I'm still too good. Next year he tries again,but the player again says nah,I'm still young enough to earn good money playing in a proper league. This continues for a couple more years or so until the player is on the downward slide. Eventually sometime later,when the player has had a few injuries he decides to change his mind,as he has heard there could be a free university place on offer. He has also heard nothing but good things about the city,the organisation and the fans. This nearly convinces him. Then Corey plays his trump card,he tells the player about how many bars and clubs there are in close proximity of the arena,these are not just any old bars though,they are full,chock a block in fact of puck bunnys,who even if you look like Jade Galbraith will very much like you,just because you're a hockey player. That almost does it,he's 99 per cent convinced,but there is still a problem,he's heard about this guy Moran and what an ass he is. Not a problem says Corey,just follow my lead,say yes to him every time,call him "boss" and I promise you won't even have to do one of those awful school visit things if he likes you. Mmmm,what about that fat guy with the big mouth at Sheffield,I've heard he's really annoying and don't we have to go play there about 25 times a season,that must really get on your nerves,especially as I hear we usually concede seven or eight goals up there. Look says Corey,just wing it like i do,I've been doing it for ten years now and I've got away with it lovely,you can even have midweek beach holidays here if you fancy one,or if you fancy an even longer rest,just do what Schultzy does and say ooh it still hurts,I need a bit longer ! Another thing,you won't even have to help keep Lawrence's life in order,because Carter and Brown take care of that. By the way,you do know Lawrence don't you says Corey,because without that I can't sign you. Yes yes I know him,we drink together every night back home,we've done so since we were five years old,don't worry you've convinced me,ok ok says the player,i will come. Good. Corey now has to go to Mr Black...."how much,I'm not paying that !" says Neil,offer him half what he wants and tell him take it or leave it or he will end up playing in that god awful rink in Edinburgh instead of the "world famous NIC" surely he's heard how good it is here ! This news is then related back to the player. Mmmm,well I guess I am pretty knackered he thinks to himself,pretty old now too,I've had nine bad injuries,missed most of last season and nobody else will really want me,so I guess I better accept or I'm going to have to retire as I don't fancy that Scott Neil guy up north. Hurray the deal is done at last. Rumours spread quickly and amid much fanfare,trumpets etc,even a record length twelve second long interview is recorded on Panthers radio (with Xynomix no less) and also in association with however many other mugs Moran can find to sponsor further articles. The fans are told he's good,he must be,because he's been on Corey's radar for a while,even Pidge is happy,but as for PantherB,well he's just over the moon because not only is the new guy 207lbs but were told he's fast too despite his being well oversized. Much checking is done by the fans,elite prospects and hockey db is consulted studiously,forums,Twitter and Facebook are delighted with the news. Soon however,game day arrives and cracks start to appear.....oh dear,it's Groundhog Day again ! Hey this guy is supposed to be an Nhler,but Jonno finds out that it was 17 years ago and he only played one game ! Corey's radar is checked and yes indeed he's been on it,but for 8 years and apparently he also played on the same team but was out scored by Mark Lee. This isn't going so well now,the turning circle of Ruman Ndur is mentioned at the end of the first period,so is the speed of Phil Oreskovic,several glaring open nets are missed in the second period prompting similarities with Matt Carter and when the puck went in the corner.....well nope,even Lacho beat him in there ! Oh dear,the fans have seen through it and they aren't happy,Corey better explain this one good and proper. Not a chance in hell though,he's embarrassed again so he's hiding and a trusty lieutenant is sent out to face the music instead. Will there be an apology in the coming days....err nope,not a chance of that either. And that my friends,is the tale of how deals are done in Panthers kingdom and why all the good players end up.....in either Sheffield,Cardiff or Belfast !!!
