Seemingly along with the likes of Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, & Southampton.

When I was away one time (last year i think) i picked up a paper and it said that brighton were building a big complex which includes a ice arena (5,000 i think) so theres a good chance for some nice weekends on the south coast .  |

Dublin actually have all the parts for an ice rink in some fellas garage, and the zambonis in his garden! all from the old coleraine rink (north Coast of northern Ireland)
they are being started by the top guy of the the elite league i believe, cant think of his name..
But theyve no site to locate.. dublin property is sky high at the minute apparently so they are waiting for a decent site!

I heard that story about 5 years ago, they did find somewhere to relocate to.......Belfast |

bristol arenai belive that this infomation is about the new bristol arena. it is also meant to be like ours eg can seat upto 10000 and is a mult purpose arena. i also think i read somehwere that it will have 2 ice rinks modeled on the NIC ( don't think it says it in this artical though.)

Dublin would be a great addition to the league, a potentially huge fanbase, the irish i believe would love ice hockey, i should know. also the government i believe would be very supportive of the team and a dublin/belfast rivalry would almost certainly raise some dosh for both clubs, and although i hate to say it could become a much more intense rivalry than panthers/steelers.

hmmmm, yeah your right in some respects but you have to remember the arguement is betwwen catholic/protestants not north/south and the belfast fanbase is a mix of the two so theres a good chance everythin would be fine.

I agree to a certain extent.
Majority of giants fans are cross community and mix together well....
However, its my thinking that if a dublin team starts, i reckon all the pathetic scum on both sides who want to fight each other will adopt a team, ie catholic take dublin protestants take giants... and well you know the rest
i hope i am waayyy wrong on this because ive no time for the people im talking about and id hate them to ruin hockey, but its a sneeking suspicion in my mind

we'll need some super-strong Mr Muscle to get this rumour out of the pipeline ;D
As far as i know, the plans for the Dublin arena were rejected for some unknown reason so therefore there will be no team in the forseeable future. It would be great to travel to Dublin on the Saturday night and then up to Belfast for the Sunday game. Can't imagine what the travelling distances/price would be though....

The plans for Dublins arena were dependent on Bertie Ahearns stewardship of the country. Its not being built now! By road it is 3 hours drive, by rail its much easier. Prices reasonable. But like Liverpool etc (not Leeds because they actually paid some money up front ) its gone the way of the wind. |

Brighton eh? It'd be nice to have another Southern team, perhaps giving the London crowd a bit more of a rivalry element to drag them along...
