I'm sure we're getting an extra game this year which would equate to the £15 increase. same as last year it went up £15 but we got 27 games not 26. so in silver it works out at £12.85 per match against £19 at box office still not a bad price tho' Didn't they give us 28 games this year? I don't remember having to pay for one. Was always going to happen, the expansion obviously caught them out a bit last time.

They will have to give you a couple of cup or play off games next year if the Caps drop out,unless there's a new team.
Bet the "Spin King" hasn't thought of that ! 😆

Interestingly, Braehead tweeted in mid-April 2017 “NEWS: With the EIHL looking likely to stay with the two conference system, Chalmers reiterated Braehead’s support for the current setup.”
By this point, Guildford and MK were already known to be joining the EIHL, but the leagues fixture set up wasn’t known until May

On the Twitter news feed "Nottingham Panthers @panthersihc
Their was confusion for season ticket holders over the playoff 1/4 final match due to an administrative error that ourselves & @nottinghamarena have resolved. It should no longer be a problem." No but spelling obviously is!!!

I think last year it was advertised to be 27 games, 26 league and the playoff q/f. But with the new teams it gave 28 league games and there was talk of making onw of the chargeable but in the end it was added to the ST. That might be where the confusion was re the q/f match.
As mentioned, they are promising 28 games this time if no Caps and no replacement then they've got to find tow games.

Didn't they give us 28 games this year? Perhaps a pedantic point but they didn't "give" you anything, you brought 28 games. Indeed you brought 28 games, finished product unseen, purely on faith. Would you say your faith has been repaid?

I mean we bought 27, on non-repaid blind faith, but they gave us #28 when the ST ended up short. In the past they made us pay for that.

A bit of useless information but judging by the article on the website indicating we've now got more season ticket holders than there were seats in the old barn, makes us have around 3000 season ticket holders as capacity in old barn was about 2800 i believe.
Nice to be able to put a more definitive number on it

Nice work for Mr Black depositing that lump in a Bermudan bank for a few months before the season even starts ! 😉 And still there are people who think Panthers don’t make huge profits. Lol 🤔😂😂😂

I just don’t get it though, on here pretty much no one seems to think the past few seasons have been good enough and was willing to not renew.
When you go to the games you can here the discontent in the crowd and again most are not going to renew.
Now I agree not all of these will follow through and not all are unhappy but I still don’t see how this leads to an increase in ST holders.
To clarify my situation, I have not boycotted as I have never had a ST despite making it to most matches as I like to go with different people and a ST would stop this from being possible.
One of the major downsides of this approach is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the seats I like (row A).

But then again GM could tell the fans anything he wanted about breaking ticket records and the fans would just believe it. Last years average Panthers crowd actually dropped on the previous season. It’s just that GM has chosen NOT to flag up that little stat ! Lol

It is an interesting time to be supporting the Panthers though, Cherno is coming in and so far he has built a squad that has some exciting players in it with more to come. I also think that the sport is growing in Nottingham and is becoming much more mainstream in the UK.
What would be the benefit to the club announcing something like this if it weren’t the case? The likely result of this news is that fans will be more expectant of the club and will want a squad packed full of decent players, effectively giving us the stick to beat them with if they don’t.

Box office will know how many ST’s there are. if you take 3000 at a rough average of £250. That’s give you £750k so as a Iggy says probably not far off 1m seeing as both gods and silver are more than that.

Personally that was the difference between renewal, and not. Obviously we'll never know now, but I wonder if there'd have been a record if they'd continued with the same old?

I very much doubt there would. Panthers only react and make changes when the heat gets too hot and they absolutely have to. That’s why fans should make their feelings known and put pressure on if things are going wrong. Without last seasons big fan pressure i bet it would have been yet another year of Neilson next season.

For most people their decision to continue or stop watching isn’t based on whether the team is successful or not. For me personally I’ve been going to games since I was 4 and I’m now 20 and it’s not something I could ever give up no matter what.

It was for myself and 3 others. I think had there been no change there would have been a massive decline in season ticket numbers, everyone was of the same opinion that change was needed, ultimately the club have done the right thing and the ST numbers reflect this.

Well, the increasing ST assumption - year upon year - leaves little a chance to draw such a hype on the 'walk ups' then, as the too fiqures may meet up soon if there is any untruths here. The attendance figures (real ones) over and above those 3,000 ST's will show up less a walk up number if the actual crowd each game reduces. I would not imagine ST holders staying away from many games once bought.

I think your dead right. That’s why they made the change eventually,because their hand got forced. People greatly underestimate fan power,even at Panthers, but at the end of the day it costs money to watch sport, therefore the fan should shout if they aren’t happy. If you bought something in a shop and it was crap or poor value you’d either take it back or probably wouldn’t go there again. You wouldn’t say oooh well the stuff in this shop is poor, but as I’ve been coming in here for 20 years I will keep coming because I like buying rubbish.

Pretty sure Corey decided back in late October/Early November that he wouldn't be returning after the end of the season.

I was actually pretty surprised that they announced it how they did,because sacked or not i was expecting it to be worded something like “Corey has chosen to explore other avenues to further his coaching career”. It’s pretty clear Panthers ran out of patience with the same old same old and sacked him.
