I’m going for a Panthers win tonight. Then they’ll blow it in the second leg. You know it's bad when you're less optimistic than Iggy. Giants 3-1 tonight. Some people are always so pessimistic,have some faith man. 🙄🤣

For those wondering what the attendance will be like, there are currently 4,117 seats left for sale in the bowl according to the website. This doesn't include Block 1 which never went on sale. However Blocks 8 and 12 as previously mentioned are more or less sold out with only 23 and 1 seats left in each.
So we'll be presumably looking at 3,000 max. Not a great crowd, but I've seen worse for a cup quarter final knockout game. A few years ago against Guildford was very poorly attended.

Regardless of what goes on the game sheet this will surely be a new attendance low, by a long way. I'm not sure there is even 1,000 in

I’ve only been coming since 2009. But I’m fairly confident this is the lowest crowd I’ve seen.

That's terrible. Might as well have played on the practice rink.

Not gone tonight. Don't think the season ticket deal has had any effect. We chose to stay away. If the team had been decent this year and it had been played back in November, it may have made a difference. Need to get back to 2 groups of five and go straight to semi's. I would like to see the CC over by start of December like the Autumn cup used to be.

3-2 win, may not be enough in the end but better than nothing. Corey loves the CC.

Decent performance that. Played good team defence. Given themselves half a chance for the return leg

Decent performance that. Played good team defence. Given themselves half a chance for the return leg Defensively we look so much more organised. The D are doing a much better job of clearing up and stopping 2md chances. I sat must closer tonight for 2 periods so much harder to see the game play overall. Soaked up some periods of pressure and took advantage of some good chances when they came our way. Not a spectacular game but a lead of any kind would have been unthinkable a month ago.

Can't work out why other teams have played both Legs but we've only played the 1st Leg.

Sounds like a good performance and I believe that we've come back from 2 goals down against Belfast and that's no mean feat.

As others have said, not a pretty game by any means but Dubeau and the defence did a brilliant job, took our chances when we got them and to come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Belfast is no easy task. At 2-1 down, I’d have taken that going into the 2nd leg with a few more players back, but delighted to see us take a lead into Belfast.

Hahahahaha not a cat in hells chance. 🤣🤣 For that 2236 crowd figure to be correct 1 in every 3 seats would have to be occupied which is clearly not the case. Why do they feel the need to lie !

Did not expect that result tonight. Means Panthers are still in the tie. Is that photo showing those present during the game?

Such a scrappy and sloppy performance from us I thought, we really struggled to break out cleanly and sustain any real pressure, but, two brilliant shots from Welsh and a composed finish from Welychka were enough to give us the lead.
We did dig in at the back though and as a team battled hard to put the Giants off. I’ve been impressed with Ricci at the back as well, aggressive, physical and he’s not a slouch. Dubeau was another who showed his worth, we desperately need him to have a good run of games now.
One of the only games left this season that actually meant anything, it’s a shame that people don’t want to turn up for it

A gutsy performance last night, they didnt give up despite a lot of pressure. Did think it was going to be a different outcome as sitting level with the goal line in block 13 didnt see much of the puck for large parts of the first period. Lots of positives from the game; there were well taken goals, good defending, especially at the end of the game when belfast were pushing for the equaliser, and no howling cockup from Brassard. Ricci doesnt look out of place playing D neither does Kelsall and gives CN options when Hazeldine and Hopkins come back.

Some positive comments around general look and feel there, which is heartening. Fife on Sunday. 3 league games in, aggregate score is 3-15 to them. Be nice to have the score the other way round for a change.

I was told by one of the arena staff that just over 1800 tickets were "sold" but there were only 1254 scanned on the doors. From where I was sat the 1254 looked accurate. If the two blocks of freebies were classed as “sold” which they would be then that would ring true. Shame the freebies didn’t turn up. So the real crowd figure last night was actually a shockingly poor 1254 and not almost double that as was claimed by Panthers.
