Re: Storm to leave Altrincham !

I was part of that 17245 record crowd. It was a marvellous experience. I really hope this works. It would be fantastic for the league. I don’t know how often the AO Arena is booked for events now. Will Storm be able to play there at weekends? Until they can actually fill the AO, which may be some y...

Re: So what happens now..?

Gutted.... now what happens... My prediction is Fox surviving the cut based on a semi final, A final and 4th being just about acceptable to Tony Smith and Fox having a year left on his contract... My preference is, no more Vanilla hockey and we look to get in a new coaching staff that have a differ...

Re: GAME THREAD. Steelers v Storm: PLAYOFF SEMI-FINAL: Saturday 18th April

You'd like to think the neutrals would get behind the tournament underdogs, Glasgow. It's worth highlighting just how much of an underdog they are; they finished 8th in the league and hence had to turn over the league winners to get there. When was the last time the 8th placed team has made it to t...

Likely be the morning game on Sunday..... :Smiled:

But which one? Genuinely anyone's tournament this.

We do. My mistake.

A potential re-match v Cardiff in the final .

The greatest playoff final I’ve ever seen. In fact, I’m not sure it will ever be beaten.
I'd actually prefer a Clan V Storm Final myself. ;)

Keep writing us off at your peril! :Smiled:

Re: GAME THREAD: Clan v Steelers: Sun 5th April

Bringing it back to the Clan and not really having a better place to put this.... While we have @DiscoRay Disco Rays (A great contributor towards our forum btw) attention. I would like to draw attention to the fate of Clan backup goalie Lucas Brine if possible and certainly gets Disco Ray's comment...

Re: GAME THREAD: Clan v Steelers: Sun 5th April

Thanks for that Doom, I couldn't find any official rules about tie-breaking. I assume that neither could the Elite League website contributor who this morning wrote: "Sheffield Steelers will finish third if they better Nottingham's result against Cardiff." FYI the link to the criteria is here: http...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan: Saturday 4th April

Once I seen our line-up I knew we'd resigned ourself to playing Belfast with sitting 5 imports. Got the result I feared we might, just took longer than expected but we melted away soon as the 1st went in.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan: Saturday 4th April

It's a weird double-header, as I think both teams would like to face one another in the Play-Off QFs, but any outcome just ensures we avoid one another! We need to win both, and also hope Coventry drop at least 2 points for us to move up to 7th and avoid Belfast. Slim chance, but it's at least somet...
