Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

If we lose this I'm leaving by a different exit.
I'm not listening to Panthers fans celebrating in the car park like they've just won the Stanley Cup.

Re: Playoff game 12th April ticket allocation

Have to agree they've nailed this, simple system and avoids TicketMaster fees. Hopefully this is how they'll do future non-season ticket games next year. This was much better than before, the CC game 20 mins after they went live someone had sniped my seat, and my mates. Could only have been another...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Giants: Sunday

Arron Fox must have a flameproof suit or something because when we were getting that sort of performance when Thompson was coach the snipers were all out in full force not chanting Arron Foxes barmy army. Fox was touted as being good at recruitment in his early tenure. This year we had one mistake (...

Re: Season Tickets 26/27 massive price increase

If this rise had been Gas, Electric, Mobile, TV, Broadband I would have switched suppliers by the end of the month. You can't do that with a sports team, especially one you have supported for knocking on 30 years. Unless Tony Smith comes out with a plausible explanation for it, it looks very much to...

Re: That time of year!

For me, I will most likely renew, I looked back before posting and it looks like I've held a ST for the past 18 years, prior to that it was on a game by game basis back to the early days with some years missing completely because of having young kids. Back then the crowds were half what they are tod...

Re: GAME THREAD: Storm v Steelers: Sat 7th Feb

We are spoilt for sure with what we have at the arena but I would hate to play out of a place so small... Jayboy This is what I always have to remind myself of. Whenever we complain about results or the noise or anything really, I just imagine having to go to a rink like Altrincham week after week....

Re: What happens now!

The league may be out of reach but the season certainly is not over, there's a Cup and the playoffs still to go for. If we won both would you still consider the season a failure or is a grand slam the only measure of a successful season for you ?. The league means much more to me than the challenge...

Re: What happens now!

Season is over for me now. I'll keep going because of the ST, you never know there might be a sudden upturn but I think it's highly unlikely. It's been hard to watch since before Christmas but the writing was on the wall before then, we just managed to put in an occasional performance. None of this ...

Result

Storm 3-0 Steelers.

We played crap.
Perfectly summed up there, exactly what I thought.

Re: Sheffield Arena Sound System

In an industrial environment an employer must provide ear protection for workplace noise above 85 dB (A).
The noise in the arena last game was way above that, it was at uncomfortable levels.
It was unacceptable and unnecessary.
It's a hockey game not a Metallica gig.
