Sheffield must have improved their way of renting properties as I know a player in Sheffield who had the bayliffs turn up on his doorstep trying to take his telly ect as the rent hadn't been paid for months on his house.
Seems ice hockey teams in general aren't the best Tennant's.

A very selective reading of a detailed post, and once again Iggy making assumptions based on facts neither known or demonstrable. And did you really just say the team should spend money it doesn't need to on accomodation? This from the guy who said we don't have an assistant coach because the team wastes money in other areas. Which is it? Don't be wasteful and be a well run team? Or spend money on empty accommodation and be a well run team? You see why some might think Panthers are damned whatever they do in your eyes. Assumptions eh...mmmm you forget I’ve rented them an apartment, one we owned ourselves. We didn’t get paid for it either (well unless you count a shirt given to us by an embarrassed coach when he found out) and we also even had to clean the filthy state it was left in ourselves upon vacation. We weren’t the only landlords either who wouldn’t rent again based on the conversations we had with the club pleading with us to let them have it again as they were struggling with letting agencies. Would I rent to them again,not a chance ! And paying for something that may not get used like an extra bedroom to try avoid housing problems down the line is not exactly wasteful compared to wasting unnecessary money in other areas, it’s called looking after your most valuable asset which is your players. Go have a look where Steelers have put their players this year,there’s even an article about it. Strange they don’t have Panthers problems isn’t it ! The Giants Org are smart and forward thinking. They bought apartments in the waterfront complex directly beside the SSE for the players and rent them out in the off season.

Fantastic pricing. Better than kids for a quid. Although im not sure the article reads that well. Especially on twitter where it's split in two. So the £10 adults, £5 kids is only for ST holders? Therefor expecting anybody else to pay full price?

Seems there’s definitely something going on. It’s very odd that Panthers haven’t said whether this is the first or second leg. Even more strange when according to EIHL website both Panthers and Giants confirmed back in May at the fixtures meeting what their dates were irrespective of who finished where. If both clubs already knew their dates then surely they know which leg is which and yet the Giants haven’t even got either Cup QF date home or away on their fixture list. Cynicism reigns once again !

Just went and checked the website. Tickets without logging in to my account are full price. I think its great to reward ST holders but no reduction at all for others will still equal a small crowd im sure.

I know we are all aware of the fees but sometimes you dont really take it in. Especially as a ST holder who doesnt need to do it to often. 28% of original ticket prices added on top.

Jeez how do they justify those add on’s and why are there two of each fee ? Surely after all this time they’re not still charging for that new scoreboard ! 🙄

Very odd, why would there be a special fee for concessions? And two venue fees?
Edit - might be worth checking that, the other fees are the fees they normally charge to concessions:
Can't see you'd be meant to pay both.

Edit - might be worth checking that, the other fees are the fees they normally charge to concessions: Can't see you'd be meant to pay both. Im fairly sure you do. The admin free has been there some time. The facilty fee started when the new score board appeared as they announced. Then stayed to fund new plexi, ice plant any anything else. The 2 have been a seperate entity for a while now. If you go to buy a ticket it'll quote £20 ticket + 2.80 fees. Yout invoice would theb show the breakdown. The thing I dont really understand is the need to break it all down. Back when tickets were a flat price with no displayed fees then arenas would still be taking their cut. Why the need to list them seperately at all. If they do need to why not just price the fee at the £2.80 or whatever it needs to be. Does it really make anybody feel better knowing xx amount is admin and xx amount is mainatance budget? Baffling. I'd rather just see a ticket at £22.80 to be honest.

Yes you do pay both, but you're paying both types of both fees aren't you (4 in total, rather than 2)?

I think it's the ticket price confusing matters. The £15 is a £10 adult ticket and a £5 child ticket(the 2 tickets linked to my account) combined. Not sure why they arn't listed seperately when all the fees are.

Imagine going in a pub and paying £4 for a pint and then them adding on another £1.10 because the pub’s just installed new seating !

Steelers v Cardiff quarter final ALL tickets £5 plus £3 booking fee. Be interesting to see whose pricing initiative works best.

I can speak here as a non ST holder. Obviously understand ST members getting a discount. Why have one if walk ups get a better deal, well regularly anyway. But not getting a discount at all does not grab me. Or a marginal one. Off to Notts v Yeovil tomorrow for £5 anyway Think it’s £15 for 4 of us as a family. Winning side, winning fans over I assume.

Just seen Steelers tweet the pricing ahead of tonight. Steelers again appear to be that step ahead. Admired their ticket initiatives for some time. Simple and clear to understand. £8 per person no matter the age. For a family of 4 That's £32 at Steelers & £38.40 at Panthers. Not a huge difference there. For a midweek game that'll finish at nearly 10pm the big impact will be from adult pricing though.

Interesting to listen to Gagnon’s interview today and hear him say “yeah as soon as Omar contacted me it was a no brainier to come back to Nottingham”. Surely not, apparently Omar doesn’t do the hockey side of things, or so some would have you believe ! 😉

Noticed on the OS that Mitchell Bowler is a new equipment assistant. Am I the last to know? I always thought that Ramon Marvin was in and around there, less he has a look-a-like the last few years. Never seen Ramon's pic on the OS I have to admit. Someone also told me (right or wrong) that there has ben some off ice (indoors-office) changes too. Just wondered who may know of anything.

Well I don’t know about any equipment assistants, but according to the O/S match report tonight they must have signed a new player too. It seems it’s some chap called Maurizio Ricci. Oh dear ! Pmsl 🤣🤣🙄🙄 (Edit - nice to see the power of the cage makes them change it)

He’s been on the site for a while I think. Nice to keep it in the family

I guess this is the best place to post Omars latest interview.
Think he pretty much confirms the investment in bringing Corey in effected player signings? Also suggests there will be signing news soon?
Doesn't really appear to say anything regarding player signings that directly.
