All the extra tickets that went on at 6pm tonight look to be gone and it would appear to be a complete sell out already.

I’m going, but not sure if I’m looking forward to it or not.
Hoping it’s not a morbid affair- it should be a celebration of his life and a game that he loved.
Really hope that a full house gives a good atmosphere. I’m sure most people would want to be remembered that way.
Wonder if we will have guest players as I don’t think we have enough with injuries/ possible non returners?

Wonder if we will have guest players as I don’t think we have enough with injuries/ possible non returners? although it's a challenge game, it's also the first step forward. so if there are players who aren't returning (although there hasn't been any confirmation one way or the other) bringing in guest players would'nt help with planning for the future. |

We need to ice as many players as we can, but have got enough to put a full side out?
It will be useful for those we put out, even if we have to plug a few gaps.
Perhaps some arrivals this week are planned?

Replacements/additions quite frankly aren’t relevant to this game, that is for us to worry about post this weekend leading up to the first competitive game whenever that is.
Nothing should take the focus away from Adam, his family & the team this weekend and any roster changes would (even for a moment) deflect away from that and in my opinion not warranted for this event.

Not looking to detract at all - the original question was about simply having enough players to actually play and the prospect of guest players. Let’s not forget this is a healing process / first step back onto the ice for the roster. It’s about them as well. |

I’m not saying you personally were looking to detract from it just my opinions how I think anything like that could take the focus off what the weekend is about, it’s about Adam and supporting the team (as I’d previously mentioned). If not seen, there is a video released by the club of the ice being painted ready for the weekend which is a lovely touch and I imagine the first of many emotional tributes to come. |

I’d imagine that the Panthers will be playing with a full roster as I couldn’t see them playing (significantly) short benched. |

300 More tickets going on sale at 6pm! Be quick as I think they'll go fast.

Hello all,
I have 2 tickets to the memorial game if anyone wants them. They’re singles, high in Block 7. Me and the missus managed to get 2 together in the second issue, so these are spare. Don’t require any payment for them. Message if you want them. Obviously first come, first served.

I would hazard a guess that the news of the arrest might have stirred up a lot of feelings in the Nottingham camp and maybe there was a suggestion from somewhere the game could have been in jeopardy? |

Good move that. However, the club being “excited to announce it” is perhaps not the best way of wording it ! |

100 more tickets.
Panthers say these will be the last batch.

I hope they repeat the same tribute as to Gary Rippingale 31 years ago
All players lined up on the blue line and sticks were dropped one by one in total silence
The hairs still go up at the thought of it

Sadly I was there, also for the game in 2012 v Fife after TODD Dutiame had lost his wife and unborn twin sons. All the players shook hands before the game started.

Really pleasant to see them back out there, it’s very low key as you’d expect, zero contact in the corners and both sides happy to play end to end.
Storm goalie pulled off a worldie too!
