Glad I haven't got one, I've probably miscounted but looks like 14 Sundays to me.

Yes, specifically: Sunday 14 Elite League + 1 CC Saturday 7 Elite League + 3 CC Monday, Wednesday and Friday 2 Elite League each.
A cynical man might look at those Saturday, not on the season ticket, Challenge Cup games and not be surprised by the planning...

In fact only 7 of the season ticket games are on a Saturday as 3 Saturday games are the Challenge Cup!

I'm going to stick up for Panthers here. We know, and they know that Saturday games are the most lucrative,ill bet they wanted as many games as possible on a Saturday. The arena have a business to run too, money to claw back, we were never going to get priority over gigs

Just goes to show when people are miffed that they don't get Saturday games it proves to me it's seen more and more of a social event and Sundays ruins their 'family time etc etc ' 😂

If always has been a social event for as long as it has been going. Sorry for having friends at the hockey and sorry for wanting a couple of pints while we are there. What's up Pidge, have you got no friends? Do you not see going to a game as a social event or are you one of those that come on here that don't even go to a match any more? And yes a 4 pm Sunday game is also not good for those that have a life and go see their family or friends on a Sunday or have other things to do like getting out on their bike or other things that are not Hockey. As we can all hear embedded in our head from years of Panthers unfortunately in GM voice "Saturday night is hockey night" I also believe as thing stand at the moment the arena is not booked up for lots of Saturday yet, yes this could change and we may to move fixtures but let's start out with as many Saturday nights as possible knowing we are going to lose some. I have just looked at the Arena events and there are only 3 booked Saturday nights for other events between New year and April

This way they don't keep getting bumped. But we're all just guessing here. None of us will know why it's worked out this way. But I'd be surprised if the arena was willing to offer many Saturdays right now as they'll want as many big money events as possible to bring in the recovery bucks and Saturdays are prime real estate in that sense. Which is why we get bumped in regular years too for them. This way the Arena have income guaranteed for Sunday slots which are unpopular with concerts etc and Panthers have the minimum number of changes. But that's based on the assumption both parties were looking for balance

But that's based on the assumption both parties were looking for balance Careful with those logical, sensible and neutral posts. What you have to bear in mind is that the Arena has been financially decimated by covid. It's effectively had zero income for 12+ months. And is owned by Nottingham's financially almost bankrupt City Council. And without the Arena, I'd wager the Panthers would be in trouble. I'd wager there's a bit of give and take here to ensure that the Arena has as much scope as it can to hopefully attract some big paydays without impacting too much on the Panthers. Personally, I don't mind Sunday games, and there's no "right" to Saturday nights, never has been in the Arena. If there's some short term disruption to fixtures to help the Arena get back on its feet, that's OK by me.

I'm not a fan of 4pm face offs on a Sunday. Thee is a lot i'm happy to accept this year as part of post covid recovery for hockey as a whole. It makes perfect sense for the arena to maximise potential income. I dont think Panthers would choose Sundays if they could. Probably average around 1,500 less tickets sold compared to Saturdays.

Just wondering so no need for vaccination bs If you don't want the subject to be so "sticky" you might want to avoid ending by referring to "vaccination bs". Just a thought. But asking for help whilst appearing to dismiss all those who chose vaccination is an interesting choice...

Just wondering so no need for vaccination bs They've said unvaccinated people called Jesse shouldn't attend, unless they have a legitimate medical condition that means they can't be vaccinated. Otherwise they should grow the hell up, get the jab and stop being daft.
