The Yorks are the mayors of Jam City. The Steelers way. Soft penalty for me, especially that close to the end. But it's Sheffield, they'd have probably found a way regardless. They’re luckier than Man Utd we’re under Fergie, it’s always been that way.

Ridiculous from Coventry. That was Rob Farmer from the blue line bad from Lake. Why mention a Panthers player when it's a game not involving them. Totally pointless Because Coventry had a 3 on 1 break in O/T and lost the puck to the one Dman. It was as dumb as Farmer shooting when he had a player right in front of him. 🙄

You know I can be negative but this just seems classic 'dig at Panthers' stuff

Rubbish! They just want it more as did Man Utd and their fans won’t tolerate failure. Deal with it or don’t watch. I chose not to watch as I don’t tolerate players who don’t give 100% it an owner who doesn’t prioritise winning above profit.

Exactly he moans but doesn't go although he's not on his own on here as well.

Unfortunately that’s the difference with steelers and panthers!! They notice they need a change and they go and do it. I personally don’t like the club and fans but you can’t fault them. They want silverware whilst your owner wants money

It's the same old drivel on here. Nothing will change whil'st we have two people who only want money. They stick one,maybe two fingers up to all those who moan and laugh there heads off when they read the cage.

I doubt Neil reads the forum. Probably doesn't read the scores most weeks.

Perhaps Black don't, but I'd hazard a guess the other one does. If he does he'll tell his boss and they will have a good laugh at the tiny forum.

Ridiculous from Coventry. That was Rob Farmer from the blue line bad from Lake. As a recent comparison, its valid. However Lake couldnt have expected both his team mates to be rushing forward. The similarity between Garnetts 'stop start' attempt to block, and Kopriva's head first dive, are spooky. But it was Halloween !!

There were only 4700 in Sheffield last night for a £5 a ticket game,there would have been that many in Nottingham at FULL price even on Halloween night.

I can gaurantee that. It's read by the media team to some extent, but possily only when they are bored & need a laugh.
We really aren't as important on here as some of us think we are.

Absolutely. There's what, 20 odd "regular" posters on here? That's not many out of a 6,000 crowd. Even less as a fair few of those regulars don't even attend games most of the time. This tiny, self-selecting slice of the fan base is on no way at all "representative" of fans' views as a whole.

The number on here is indeed very small compared to a typical home crowd. However, their views are nether-the-less totally valid; and although you or I have no way of proving either way, the opinions on the Cage could actually represent the views of a sizeable chunk of the typical home crowd - who knows?
As an example of how a very small number of opinions can actually virtually mirror the opinions of a massive number of people - I wanted Brexit, my other half didn't; so you can't claim the views on the Cage are not representative of a larger number - you simply don't know!

Which brings us back to the often asked question - how many of the 4500-5000 regular attendees actually care how the club is run, as long as they have somewhere to go and watch Hockey on a Saturday night. Attempts have been made by various means to engage the majority in taking some interest, the Supporters Trust being the latest, without garnering much actual response (and that isn't a criticism of the Trust). So do people care ? They should, as regular forum writers are convinced of the link between team performance and club management. But perhaps there isn't the same mentality in Panthers fans as there is in, say, Football, where a few bad results and no instant response from the Owner, leads to very public and visible dissent from the fans at games, recognised Supporter club meetings, phone-ins etc.

A lot can be read from our season ticket sales this year. Last season on the ice was perhaps the least successful in the last 10 years but if what we were told by the club is true we have sold more season tickets than last year.
This is a clear sign to the club to say continue as we are, we the supporters are happy.
I'm starting to come around to the thinking that money isn't the issue in terms of what we initially spend on the roster. I'm happy with our roster and who we've recruited. It's the club's ethos once they are here I have the problem with.
Too many non-hockey related distractions(pub quizzes...etc), slow or no reaction to injuries/poor form. I honestly could go on, it's one big tapestry of issues.
Edit: one thing I will add to the credit of the club, our pre-season was good and well thought out, here on time and we were well prepared for the season but then we usually start the season strong so our shortcomings here previously have never really hurt us.
I don't want to blame fans for our problems because if they are happy with what they see on a Saturday night and feel it's good value for money then who am I to tell them they are in the wrong but whilst we send a positive message to the club in terms of ticket sales(especially season tickets) then we get the club we deserve to be honest.
Me personally I don't think I'd have the will power to stay away for an entire season but by not buying a season ticket I am sending a message to the club to say "give me a reason each week to give you my money". At the start of the season they did that, now, not so much which is why they won't be seeing any of my money this weekend and unless I see a change in attitude or approach they won't see much more for a while. The second you give them your season ticket money then they are good to do what they want for the whole year without feeling much pinch. It's only in March/April again they'll think how they are going to get the next large cheque off you.
I can handle not winning but making the same mistakes game after game, season after season, when will we learn?
