Much to complain about in the past. Maybe more to be complaining of in the future. But when things are done correctly you have to applaud it.

What's your obsession with the SC ? It may get resurrected.. it may not .. it's not really a priority right now .. yes it was a good thing to have.. I should know I was once on the committee many moons ago!! I should know too,because I was also on the SC committee as well. I’m just interested to know if they’ve really changed or not, I mean what sports team wouldn’t want their fans to have a supporters club. Have Forest got one ? Forest have/ had a supporters Trust also. I was also on the Supporters committee too, there seems to be a theme here. Looked after the away bus/s too.

www.panthers.co.uk/home/220607-ceoPachas latest update. 33 home game scheduled. I'd guess thats 2 friendlies, 27 league and 4 Challenge Cup. Over 50% of those games currently booked for a Saturday night plus the addition of some Friday night games. So 2 warm ups are already scheduled for Saturdays, even if all 4 cup games are to be Saturdays then it's still a minimum of 11 league Saturday fixtures. Of course i'm sure we'll see some get bumped but as it stands it's looking fairly decent. disappointedly this means that the same format continues bar knowing the actual Challenge Cup scenario. Knew this to be the case because they had meetings in such a way that it was for sure that only the fixture list was to be contrived.

Just seen on Twitter that this will complete the set and we'll have had all 3 Ferrara brothers. Are they the first trio of siblings to all play for Panthers? James Ferrara 5 seasons 06-10 , 198 games 11+15=26 50pims Robert Ferrara 1 season 07-08 , 1 game Luke did play two challenge games only with us in 12-13 The other triple would be the Flint brothers, Matt (07-08 18 games) Nick (1983-84 and 1987-88 14 games) and Tim ((1987-88 2 games 2 pims).

Was on Twitter and saw Coventry fans saying thanks for the service he had given. Made me think it was Luke.

Did you get any answers Iginla? Nope not yet. Similar from the day before Q and A at the Saltbox. Did speak with him on that night but some queries/ remarks/ offer by me left blank at the moment. I will follow up.

I got a phone call from Omar the other day as a ST holder who is yet to renew. Told him that I like everything being said in terms of the direction he wants to take the club and what Gary Graham has said in terms of the team he wants to build. However, that's all it is so far, talk. We've lost two top Brits and retained one from last years team as it stands. I told him we needed to see more actions to back the words up before we decided to renew again. He said there's more signing news to come on Monday so I'm hoping for Perlini or someone similar. Really hope it isn't Steve Lee as that wouldn't make us any better IMO. Credit to Omar for actively wanting to speak to fans and listening to their thoughts. Hopefully there’s some good news tomorrow then! I understand the attitude towards Black but I feel with Pacha running the club there’s hope and cause for optimism at the club. Key British players have departed but there’s plenty of time for Graham to build our squad, maybe it’s time for some fans to stop with the negativity and to give Pacha and Graham some support and the chance to prove that it can work with Black as the owner. Hopefully the case but £400 for many means needing more certainty. Assuring walk ups a plenty will bring in cash too.

Interesting stuff here as regards the ‘looking after players’ and I’ve learnt a lot on this. I live with my head in the sand as regards accommodation and cars. Was going to ask why Nottingham were not as good as the selected four mentioned ( who apparently have better organisation in this department) so as to understand. But seems my query has been answered. Still think that you can’t blame Covid for such when all teams suffered through the same experiences. But do some clubs have an advantage over others or is it plain and simple as ‘effort’ put in?

I've made a note on the Lions thread of ex player WILL WELDON having his testimonial game recently with Peterborough.
Can anyone list those players who have benched for Nottingham Panthers who have had testimonials?
I'll test your knowledge and see if I have got those programmes that I collect.

Will Weldon celebrated his testimonial in Peterborough recently. Playing since 2011 with them, many known names were on the two (Blue and White) teams. Team Blue Norton, Hook, Luke and Robert Ferrara, Jamieson, Bowley, Soar, Team White King, Lachowicz, Marc levers, James Ferrara, Buckman, Graham.

Ollie Betteridge 439 games 60 Goals 57 assists 117 Points 133 Pims
Best points haul from games played, in all the eleven seasons, was this last one.
Note: To avoid bumping up the 'Fixtures and Statistics' thread again. Just to note that I have added detail the the Great Britain part of it and updated the all-time lists, showing all Panthers players (ex and now) in gold.

So was there actually anything of note announced tonight then ? Because other than Omar generally saying everything expected to try and create a feelgood factor and some random fan getting to speak to him on the office phone I’m not hearing or reading anything much at all ? Considering the perceived major change of tack within the club I’d have thought they’d at least back it up with something fairly tasty being announced. It seems not. Talking about tasty. Someone asked if the ridiculous pricing at the Arena may be addressed. Not sure it got a reply but when Panthers hire the place is the pricing structure just not the same at all events and it be an Arena thing. Do Panthers get some/all profit from this? Someone here know? Whatever, it got a rousing noise of support when it was asked.

I second this. It was extremely useful to have the Cage's roving reporter on the scene with live updates.

Asked for first exclusive announcement.,,,
New player to us is on the books , can’t say who. Wants to announce this appropriately. It will come.
Can’t guarantee things but is right now challenging everyone. Staff etc...
Club has great legacy , keep following us as we announce things and things should be grammatically correct on the site.....a final round of applause.

Will the club again have a supporters club again? Though there has been contention? If I have a supports club it will have to be gold standard.
What about having fan interaction within social media and NOT ignoring fans. Omar says within this he’s all for fans loading up their own things showing eg) fans enjoying themselves. ( suppose this depends upon where and what)....

Big round of applause as Omar is congratulated as a fan said he had rung the office to ask of something and the phone was passed to the C E O. It was said that this had not happened in the past 15 years and it was nice. Omar seemed pleased with that.

Challenge Cup He doesn’t think that the Cup is as intolerable as first question said it was.
Lions Wants to make the club as one, bringing players on and into the club.
How is he to develop contact with media He is on it.
