as far as I'm concerned it's great. it makes the league as competitive as possible and sustainable as a 12 team league. id much rather it be this way than lose teams due to funding and end up like the epihl. the only change I'd like to be made would be the challenge cup groups done as a cup draw, and 3x3 against your own conference. We could make it competitive by giving the big four a point reduction and make them give money to the Scottish teams for travel but doesn't mean it's a good idea. The conferences are hugely unbalanced

People who have already brought a ST are in a rut and can't get out of it! I can't get excited over rubbish I'm afraid. I really, really wish I had not renewed my season ticket earlier in the week.... You MUST tell Nottingham the governing body and media this. We all need to email the league and show how they are ignorant towards the domestic game in favour of cash and welfare (not always a bad thing) of those before competition. What's the email address...I'll fire mine off now.

Watched it as far as ...'round of applause please'...why, because they bothered to drop in? opps sorry that was the forum meeting. Either get that or the semi final/final game of PO so can't view anyway..lol EDIT...Ok I gave in an watched...1) Rumours? nah fact...2)'What you have to remember'...how can we forget all this blurb. 3) Bemoaning 33 home and away games in a 12 team league, makinh a 66 game schedule, well why complain your on your way with 56 is it! 4) Commercial win/win...don't we know. 5)Play Off qualification...sick 6) Tell me why did there even have to be a conference difference, yup because people will be fed up of the same teams bar us playing Sheffield again..again...again. 7) How will the 3rd place PO group placings ever be a fair way to choose the final PO places.why? because you had no other idea.

One thing that really annoys me about all this is that there seems to be this massive push in British hockey for all teams to be equal, and to make it all "fair".
Well, as a Forest fan, I wish they'd put us in a little local league with County, Mansfield, Burton and Ilkeston, and the points we win count towards the Premier League title. Meanwhile, we could have a London league of Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham and Palace. And a North West league of Man U, Man City, Liverpool and Everton.
And if they don't let us then we'll refuse to play. Oh, and we also want the teams in the London and North West leagues to reduce the amount they spend on players to a level we can afford.
That'd all be nice and "fair" wouldn't it?
I imagine the Elite League board are those people who stopped there being winners and losers at kids' sports day.
I'm afraid in sports some teams win and other teams lose. Some teams have more fans, and therefore more money, other teams have less.

Looking forward to the non conference games. Giving the conference games a wide birth.
Can't see many non conference games on Saturday evenings

If I was an owner of the one of the Scottish 3 I'd be buying a lottery ticket tonight. How they have come up with this result I'll never really understand.
I can only guess that 3 of Manchester, Coventry, MK and Guildford voted with them to make the 2 x 6 impossible to go through.
I don't blame the Scots for trying(and ultimately succeeding) but I shan't be taking any of my money north of the border next season double headers or not, I hope others do the same.

Garbage. So we are going to play steelers 10 times, with the possibility of playing them 14 times? Our squad better be damn good with that guaranteed income.
Thank god for the chl, this season is going to be boring as hell. Absolutely no need for conferences except greed.

My biggest frustration is that I absoloutly love this sport and supporting Panthers(Even if they frustrate me). I don't want to walk away or find something else to do. I want to go and enjoy supporting my team. But I would like to watch them competitively. If I walk away it will be down to this farce amd thats just makes me angry. But this is where they know that they can do what they want. Because I will probably still be there next season and they'll still have my money.
I think it will be the same as Pies though. They have this next season. If I feel at the end of it as I do now I will walk away.

Whatever you think of the new conferences, why the heck do us and the Steelers need to be in the same CC group too? Do we have to sit next to each other at these board meetings, maybe hold hands too? We're going to get buried in that conference too

You've got to see it for what it's become, sports entertainment. It's not about the best players possible or bringing through young brits, it's about extracting fans money whilst spending as little as possible.

Britain is tiny. The only reason not to have a 12 team 1 league is greed. The league don't give a poo poo about the fans.

Absolute farce. Little better than the five team Super League season. This is what happens when you let the lunatics run the asylum.

'Welcome all to the board meeting for a chat on the domestic format.Any ideas?'
************************************
' Hi I'm a Arena team boss, we'd like to play other Arena teams and get loads a money in'
'Hi, Im with the Scots and want us to play each other and get plenty of local bashing going on and get loads o mony in too'.
'Hi, I'm with the other brigade of clubs, want less games versus Arena teams and all that and win more games perhaps giving our faithful reason to come through the doors as we'd probably get a PO spot too.'
****************************
'Well than that's it chaps, all sorted everyone happy, lets get that money in from those mugs...them there hockey purists eh??/...ha ha
