Cant remember when it was when we last had extra seating used
Last one was 9/12/2000 B&H Cup final 10,000 we have done a few time
see
http://steelersstats.co.uk/high_attendances/top_att.htm

Any one above 9400
So if the club really wanted to, they could break the Sheffield Arena all time record attendance (for ice hockey) if 1,000 extra seats are installed and sold.

According to those stats that's stood for 28 years!

2/12/95 Nottingham Panthers B&H Cup Final 10,136

Just had a look at the stats page and now know when my first ever game was.

15/3/92 against Solent. I remember because I think it was our biggest win ever (30 - 4).

I was physically drained at the end after all the woo woos 😄

Regards

It would not surprise me if there were significantly fewer Nottingham Fans than usual for this game, and that would be completely understandable.

There's not just the availability of the extra seating to consider, they'd need to find extra netting for that end of the arena too. I'm pretty sure it's a legal requirement to have it behind the goals if there's seating there.

Less than 100 seats available according to the latest report, although it does mention there is still availability in the away supporters section which is understandable.

You know what ?, I'm not often given to praising Nottingham fans but that is an awesome response given what happened before, our fans almost had to come back as it's our rink but I'd have totally understood if Nottingham fans decided it was not for them. Well done.

On this occasion let’s hope we make the team & their fans welcome. It will be hard sitting in their dressing room after past events.
