A small sport in the grand scheme of things which seems to have progressive leaders, with ambition to grow... Not sure if you noticed. But they do have perspex to stand behind if you go again.... Do they still knock seven bells out of each other on the ice ? . Best bit about that sport imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Any sport 'under cover' ie indoors, stands a far better chance of attracting bigger crowds. Presumably they will also benefit from the AO Arena's publicity regime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few other sports should take their lead eh 🫤 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Biggest problem with the Elite league is the money they throw at the top ‘stars’. Stars who could walk down the street without anyone batting an eyelid and who have little impact on the attendance. Admission cost is around the £25 mark for adults which offers poor value to money and the associated cost like food, drink and merchandise is prohibitively expensive for most. It needs to move away from having a board of directors made up of participating clubs and go independent. With attendance averaging around 1500 over the last few years it was good to see it top 2000 last season though I’m sure come the first televised match next season from the massive AO arena the mantra will be “why all the empty seats in Manchester”? Only in ice hockey eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird one as if it were something like a chain the bike would lose momentum but he seem to pick up momentum after the initial wobble, best wishes Dan Edited 3 hours ago by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His health is all that matters but I bet he will be gutted if he can’t make the next GP as I think he will be looking to close in on BM this year.

Phannan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Just read that it’s a rumoured thigh injury for Dan. A season ender apparently. Hopefully not and hopefully just a rumour. All the best to Dan and his recovery. Edited 3 hours ago by Phannan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately unlucky in what seemed like a season where it was all coming together at the right time Freddie and now Bewley out for extended periods, may as well hand it to BZ again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieboyDon Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) It’s a bad one. I’ve seen the same rumours and praying they aren’t true because if they are, season done. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Edited 2 hours ago by WookieboyDon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
