Pretty much sadly. Player sponsors, club sponsors and club volunteers are invited. It's a shame it's not open to all but I think the event is better than when it used to be done on the ice after a game. They announced Janssen's 2 year extension the other year at the awards night if I'm not mistaken? I will be awaiting the announcement but I'm sure there'll be folk quicker than me on Twitter announcing it! It’s fair that all the sponsors get to go as it’s an incentive to sponsor. I do feel that they should give non-sponsoring fans the chance to go though, maybe do a draw or something and allow so many in. It just shows what the club’s sole focus is though, everything is money related, this event should be open to everyone, obviously with sponsors guaranteed a ticket. I just feel it further divides the gap between players and fans. I’m a season ticket holder, I’ve supported the team in about 50% of the away games, but that’s irrelevant because I’m not a sponsor. I’d love to know what the management think the fans opinions are of them... It can't be that hard to get a sponsor to allow rentl free a place where people can be invited to for free entry themselves. You'd get many turning up and what an advert it would be.In the summer at a location in the city, people turning up in shirts etc...

I don’t think it would go down well if they knew though !

Gary and Ken's matching gold lame jackets are quite something.
GM looks more and more like an aged Barry Cryer every time I see him.

Yawn. Is this all the new era is then? I was hoping for changes at the top. Oh well, if it's such a good deal hopefully we'll spend a bit more on players next year.

Have they said this is actually the "New era" unvailing.
To be honest I think they deserve credit for this one. If it is a good financial deal (That is the point of the main sponsor in any sports team) then it's good news. It may be cheesy but we will now be The Nottingham Panthers. They've been quite clever to get this I think. After all we could have sponsors like Sheffield Window Centre!
Also, it's going to be strange not hearing "GMB Panthers" after all these years.

I wonder if Neil Black has checked if its alright to use the Robin Hood imagery of The Nottingham Building Society on their jerseys? After all, there is a current Nottingham-based ice hockey team who use said imagery, and we all know how seriously Neil and Gary are about such things.
Perhaps the Nottingham Outlaws should speak to their lawyers?

You would be staggered at how much they are paying too.

That’s a big deal and lots of dosh to swell Neil & Gary’s coffers. You would think it would go some way to signing a coach and team worthy of the big bucks deal. With the Forest deal they always had loads of free tickets and incentives for their staff so we can expect the attendances to rise again this season along with the other freebie tickets given away. Must say I do like. The Nottingham going on the shirts .

Wasn't worth a week of hype, but provided the money gets spent on the team it's good news. Even less excuse for not bringing in someone top notch to replace Corey.
I never called us The GMB Panthers, so from that point of view it'll make no difference whatsoever.
