2017/2018 Rumours & Offseason nonsense

[pjj365]

Sheffield local press reported that Council were demolishing arena and building a 5000 seater nearer the town centre

Apparently arena no longer viable for major touring acts when competing with Leeds

Said to be a 5 year plan but not seen anything further for a few months

Only thing I've heard regarding Sheffield is that they've been asked or are being made to pay more in rent than ever before. I guess until it's confirmed what's happening with Sheffield Arena and this new potential arena then they'll be remaining in the arena but may play a few more in IS.

On the subject of arena's and rent
, do we pay rent for IAW?
Be a massive shame if rising rent sees the end of some teams just as our sport seems to be getting a little more popular.

Devils do not pay for ice time.

Do they pay for anything? Even if its just rent for the changing rooms or some sort of ground rent?

They definitely pay for the office, unsure about locker room.

Steelers are playing their preseason games out of Ice Sheffield as there wont be ice laid in the arena till closer to the start of the season.

Another player from Gap, probably destined for the same team.

Gap had a very good team this year, they won the championship with a cohesive group of players. Although on paper the two players aren't superstars, they are both decent team players who would improve a number of teams.

Some wishful thinking or invented rumour over on the Cage about one of our British players. Funny no-one on here has heard of this 'story'....but apparently a Panthers' fan has their finger on the pulse!

Oh dear me, no chance in my book.

I'd be disappointed if we didn't re-sign Batch as I think he has great potential still but he needs to play to his obvious strengths and that's his physicality. That didn't happen as much as I'd like to see this past year. Would Lord not re-sign him though? I wouldn't be totally surprised if we didn't. Numerous times last season when the bench was shortened, Batch was often relegated to bench duty, which I'm sure he wasn't happy with either. This might explain the Ben Davies returning rumour too. We only have 5 spots for experienced Brits - Bowns, Murdy, Richardson, Batch, Myers. If (and it's a big if) Davies returns, who goes? An interesting few weeks ahead I think.

 

[Ocko]

Batch is already signed. Don't worry about it

Hope so. I'm surprised we haven't released news of a few signings though, with the season ticket deadline approaching.

The Devils get free ice for matches and training under a deal done by SORAC when negotiating the BBT and this was written in to the contract for IAW

Does that free ice time facility have a time period of expiration or is it infinite ?

 

[Wannabe2]

As Infinite as it can be.
