Damned if they do or don't, eh? This isn't aimed at you Kev, but your comment does highlight something for me.
I really struggle when folks have complaints and issues and either don't attend, presume nothing will change, or don't even acknowledge the willingness of those who can make changes sitting in front of a room full of Devils fans. We have all kinds of fans. From those that think Gretzky's was perfect (it wasn't) to those who miss the tent (many don't) to those who hate the Vindico and everything about it (it's got walls for starters. Big step up
).
I miss things about the WNIR. I miss things about the BBT. But there's plenty I do like about the new gaff, and that's with my having battled it for several years from a technical perspective (don't start me on the PA of all three venues...).
We have owners and management who will listen to us and front up. There are plenty of other Clubs where that's a pipe dream. Are we perfect? no. Is that always the aim? Yes. Do we compete every year? Yes. Are injured players threatened with the sack or forced to choose teammates to get rid of if they don't take a 50% pay cut (Like Dan La Costa was)? Hell no.
