Manchester Storm - Oh Dear

[Keith Sheppard]

It’s just been posted on X from hockey watch uk, that the Storm are temporarily relocating to Deeside, as the problem with the ice can’t be resolved in the near future. Hope this is not true, if it is I hope the arena gets things sorted quickly for them.

Isn't that a joke/parody account?

I bet the .storm fans don’t find it funny.

Fake news ?, on a serious note here, Manchester have taken a huge leap of faith to re-establish themselves as a major player in UK ice hockey, stories like this will cost them time and money to knock down and potentially put off fans from buying tickets in advance, just what they needed. All for a few clicks and likes in the cesspit that has become of Twitter. If, as we suspect, this is a fake story, the author deserves the backlash and the best way to do that is to unfollow/block and deny them the oxygen they need.

Well Storm's next game is this Wednesday against Glasgow. The good news is there's no events on the night before.

They're advertising a Freshers promotion for Freshers week and some discounted tickets in a couple of blocks, so pretty sure the above story is certainly fake news.

Out of interest, when we next visit the Storm on the 11th of October there is an event on the day/night before (Rockin' 1000). This would be the first event the day/night before since the Nottingham game.

Let's hope the lessons have been learned from the last one. Sleeping bags might be required if there's a repeat

Well at least the game against Glasgow has gone ahead.

Whilst I appreciate it’s a mid-week game, will an attendance of around 3,000 ish be sustainable in a 17,000 seat arena?
