Our rivalry with Streatham in the early 1980s was every bit as big as today's Sheffield rivalry, the difference being that it was conducted entirely on the ice, as it should be. Here's a great picture by Pete Gingell of us and them conducting our rivalry. Lots in this picture. Cox and Brine about to engage in a fight from which Coxy emerged with several bites, prompting us travelling fans to take a load of white crosses to wave at Briney next time we went to Streatham. Cox also painted white crosses on his helmet and blocker, leading to Brine refusing to shake his hand at the end of the game. I can't for the life of me figure out who is in the pile on the ice. The game sheet says Goldstone, Melancon and Keyes were penalised for fighting in this incident, but that looks like John Bremner on top. Look at Crapper's calves: no wonder he was a fast skater. Left-most Streatham player on the bench is obviously enjoying it, as are quite a few of the crowd. I am struck again by the proximity of the crowd to the players. It really is amazing we didn't have any riots in the old place. It's also interesting that almost no-one in the crowd is wearing a Panthers shirt as the club didn't sell any at this time. Question - name the Streatham no.19 (extreme left), who looks spookily like a young Mike Ellis.

Heres a question Stef (or anyone), I notice we wore black at home in a pic there, at what point did we go to wearing white at home (Iv always known us to wear white at home!) When we first came back we seemed to wear black all the time, home and away. Then we started wearing white a few games. Then it became the rule (I think) that home teams always wore the white version of their strip at home and the coloured version away. It was like that for years. Then we had a few seasons (ISL era, I think) where teams wore white at home for the first half of the season, coloured strip for the second half. I liked that and wish we still did it. Now we seem to be back to white (and/or gold/yellow/custard in our case) at home all the time. Can't put any dates on all this, though. I stand to be corrected on this, but I think most fans like it best when we wear black.

Stef...The Ref in the two photos is PETE LANE. Always had dark shadows under the eyes as if he'd had a few late nights....and helping him on the ice near the Streatham bench is Vic Balcheders (IHNR editor) son Allan. N..n.n.number 19 Darren Zinger?

Stef...The Ref in the two photos is PETE LANE. Always had dark shadows under the eyes as if he'd had a few late nights Yep, Pete Lane, ex-goalie and about 6'8" tall. It's interesting given the discussion about referees on another thread on this forum at the moment. Lane was not the favourite ref with Nottingham fans. One night me and Barrie Burt went with Ken Bullock to Solihull at the height of their bitter, bitter rivalry with Peterborough to see the two teams play in what was effectively the league decider for promotion to the Heineken Premier League. Lane was the ref, Ken was a linesman. Me and Barrie watched the game as neutrals and Lane called a brilliant game. Solihull took some silly penalties, the team started arguing with the officials and getting deserved misconducts, the fans got wound up, Peterborough won. Afterwards we were in the refs' changing room (which was in fact the rink manager's office - no shower) and the Solihull owner at the time (Gary Newbon) came in and said the ref and linesmen shouldn't come to the hospitality afterwards as he couldn't guarantee their safety. We then had a police escort out of the building. My point is he had done nothing wrong. It was an appalling state of affairs brought about by indisciplined players and fans who didn't know the rules.

Only other choices that season were Matt Boulty (40 mins) and Mark Steeples (60 mins all season) of course.

just wanna say a big thanks for putting these pics up best thread i ever read, this is the era i started going to panthers, bringing back some amazing memorys and seeing the pic of me as posted on other page has made my year, trying to find my old pics now we used to take loads got some cracking fighting pics and some great pics of cox doing what he did best sly little slashes at the opposition, can always remember being amazed at how close we used to sit near ice and when players forgot to stop at boards and ended up sitting in your lap, also think the streatham no 19 is darren zinger

Who's for a pint in here, if only 'eh. Being as the ELITE are not answering Keefe at all...regards his splended idea of the beer tent in the square for the Play-Offs. For those who do not know. The Cricketers pub that we frequented was adorned with hockey gear from wall to ceiling. Made way (knocked down)because it was a fire hazard if evacuation was needed from the new arena being built.(Thats what I was told---was it right?) Come some time later we now have some plush new flats which are in the same place but not a hazard?

Thats right.The concourse on the pub side of the rink had to be modified has the pub won a right of appeal not to be flattened.Pub was then offered e wad of cash and next minute the ice house appears. . Pity a pub of any kind is not there now though,Used to be a great atmosphere in Bolero Square when Crick's was there,oh well

another point maybe is that it was too close for comfort for the profit making NIC

Come some time later we now have some plush new flats which are in the same place but not a hazard? Spik I seem to remember this was a Berni Inn at one time (late 70's early 80's) and called the Old Cricket Players. Not that it makes much difference. Stef Brill thread, I signed on in 1982, missed 1991 - 1999 but not missed a lot since. I still remember Fred Perlini being one disciplinary point short of a ban coming up to the end of the season, They had a totting up similar to football in those days, too many misconducts and you were banned for a few games. Anyway Fred knows he is due for a ban and wants to get it out of the way as there is a big game coming up, playoff? and he spent the whole of the game dropping the gloves with anyone and everyone at face offs just to get his misconduct. Eventually the ref (Ken Taggart I believe) obliged him and Fred left to huge cheers. If anyone has a game sheet from the game or just the bare outlines please let me know.

How to finish a check. Dave Phillips is the unfortunate Panther being felled like the proverbial tree in a game up in Dundee. Note how perfectly he's kept his feet together as he goes down - at least a 5.9 in my book. Note also their no. 7, Craig Homola. Pretty handy, he was. But who is the Rocket felling our Davey?

You know how it is. There's a bit of a how-do-you-do and you turn round and grab the nearest player to you. Imagine that you are John Hobson, and when you turn round and grab the nearest opponent, it turns out to be...................Chuck Taylor. So instead of naming the players, how about a caption competition. What's Hobbo thinking as he fills his shorts? And what's Chuck saying? Point of interest on this photo: in the background, Eric the legendary organist in the days when we had proper music at games.
