Re: Guildford pull out of continental cup

The only reason the spot has been turned down is the club see it as revenue lost and something that they would have to finance. So you can draw 2 conclusions. 1. The club does not want success on the ice 2..The club cannot afford to finance a trip because its money lost. Injuries are not an excuse o...

No one wants the latter really but the game isn't as exciting as it even was 10 years ago.

Re: Guildford pull out of continental cup

Perhaps the club should also withdraw from Challenge Cup as there may be injuries for league games.

Camt believe the amount of people who don't want to compete against European opposition in a competition that we have a chance of actually winning.

Re: A merged topic.. new title - what needs to change @Sheffield Steelers

There's too many people in the kitchen at the club, too many opinions. It's obvious and that's why as a club they've struggled for a while, can we honestly say the recruitment and player types has changed much since the days of GA. That's the downfall if the club and that's what, nearly 10 years ago...
