Nottingham Building Society, the clubs main sponsor, didn’t send anyone. Annie from the Burger Shack got up and presented for them. Poor on NBS’s part. Probably busy trying to work out how to get out of the deal.

I’m not convinced he’s still there at all I thought Pacha coming in was the best thing to happen to this club in years.. I think I've got that very wrong ! There have been some positives (off ice) and obviously not great on ice. To answer someone else’s point he is still very much there & From my experience over the season it has been very evident how much passion he has for success and how much he cares. The club has gone through a massive change over the last couple of years from its norm as GM is no longer with us and I would like to stick with him have to give the chance to succeed and learn from this season, how we respond to this season is where the true judgement will be for me

With Panthers,Steelers and Devils coaches and management all under big pressure though somebody’s going to get the bullet by next seasons end.

No awards needed at all.It’s a team sport. I’ll give Jono a mention though. A Panthers fan doing his job and speaks to fellow fans.

What has a 7th placed team got to award? How to not be competitive? Well the whole team have that nailed on...

This team has the worst win record in the modern era and the worst goals against and goals for... i am struggling to see how not great begins to cover how bad they actually are.. Granted Belfast have basically took the wiz signing more players than is allowed and even after the deadline but that shows their determination to win panthers even with the poor team hardly made any significant improvements throughout the season and even selling our best player when he was needed the most and not even attempting to replace him (stinks of Tessier all over again)... it comes as no surprise that the team stank as the lack of investment with quality came to bite us, with the team underperforming no reinforcements were signed and then when we had injuries they just lived with them...

With Panthers,Steelers and Devils coaches and management all under big pressure though somebody’s going to get the bullet by next seasons end. At least two of those will be gone by July. If Pasha stays (which I doubt) then he needs to be a million miles from the phone used for signing players. Unless he knows of another Charlie Combs the Panthers don’t need another load of rink quality rubbish from his network of old EIHL struggling teams and unless he’s going to put a proper Brit pack together it’s never going to work. Yes, the Pictionary, dance cam and creepy quiz nights were all there but as far as the roster went it stank like a tuna sandwich left on a radiator. Even CN shook his head and laughed after too many games. The only bright spot was that we managed to avoid the absolute carnage inflicted on NB’s other cash cow north of the border mid season. Suddenly we are putting up a massive fight and still losing to a team finishing just above us in 6th place. The wheels fell off when he signed the idiot coach and then it went downhill from there. The change next year is going to have to be pretty seismic unless they are going to concentrate on fancy dress crowds and people leaving their seats mid way through a period to play bloody stupid games.

The change next year is going to have to be pretty seismic unless they are going to concentrate on fancy dress crowds and people leaving their seats mid way through a period to play bloody stupid games. You nailed it there FS. Pacha will be back though. I’m not even seeing all these so called off ice changes he’s supposedly made. What are they ? They’ve gone back in time to not one but two coaches that were both stale and past their sell by date, the same on ice back room staff and physios are still in place,haven’t seen any new sponsors of note and even the awards night has become even less of a thing than before. Changing the feel of the off ice vibe wasn’t hard,that just came naturally after losing GM’s influence and player signings were still looking more like Aldi than Sainsbury’s. What of the pre/in game entertainment,well nothing seems very new or innovative there,it’s all just stuff done before or copied from another rink somewhere. As for the media side,yes very good and much improved, but was that all down to Pacha though,nope. It wasn’t hard to see what was needed,the fans could see it and said it for years, all Pacha did was sign up the right people. All in all, it makes you wonder just what he did after his first couple of days in charge. Next year will be a real test that’s for sure with the Steelers and Devils both fired up to make comebacks. Pacha best get Black to open that wallet if he’s going to have any chance whatsoever. Best not hold your breath waiting for that one though !

Yup makes me laugh when people can't wait for this year to be over.. why? Next year won't be any better either it will be much the same as endured this year with different playing personnel and the same tried and failed ideas off ice! There's no innovation whatsoever... Pacha is a clone of doucet but with more media communications! And yes panthers will still be shopping in B&M (not so) bargains so don't expect any title challenge past November either!

If Pasha is still here next year it will be for his CV then moving on before it all comes apart like a cheap watch. Attract more happy clappers, more fancy dress, more infantile themed nights out, seat numbers stable (including £1 tickets), costs scraped to the bone then move on up the ladder. Job done. Just wait, next year will have several 40 to 50 year old mascots skating out with the players with huge grins and Jock-Strap off his back tickets

Great business A 30 plus goal scorer is a lot of £1 tickets though FS. Did we ever find out where those tickets come from, I did ask but didn’t get a reply from the super efficient media team ? Perhaps Jono will be along to enlighten us.

Plenty of freebies around certainly and apparently also tickets for £1 available from somewhere according to some posters on here ?

Reading this thread, it sounds like a low rent comedy show. Not very funny though is it?

Great business Paws's substitute/stand in (yes he has one) gets £75 a game when he has to do it. Not that he wants anyone to know when its him. He gets upset when people find out.... These days Paws isn't a mascot, He's more in the way of a merchandising tool A way of facilitating selling things to kids and the more Gullible... As such it fits perfectly into Neil Black's vision of Panthers.... £££ Unless Panthers do certain things off & on ice that should gave been done years ago things will never change.

The tickets I’ve been on are £1. Expect that quid goes to the arena rather than the club as a booking fee.
Despite all the negativity I read on here, getting a taste for it has made me want a season ticket.
I see no harm in occasionally offering these tickets - if it brings new fans in.
It doesn’t hurt season ticket holders, so I don’t see the harm.

It doesn’t hurt season ticket holders, so I don’t see the harm. I understand why some fans on here might be perturbed by the cheaper tickets because you’ve mentioned them a fair bit in recent posts, people who’ve paid a lot more might not want to keep hearing about it. I don’t entirely disagree with the point you make in terms of it enticing you to get a ST in future.
