    The emphasis was the 3000 seats which is why we have the design we have. its not beyond the realms of possibility to extend the benches in the future but it would involve reducing seating capacity of up to around 100 seats, moving and adding stairs to conform with building control and the fire...

    Latest rink update

    As most of the the rinks in the elite league don't totally conform to IIHF rules in one way or another especially the big blue tents player benches and the CHL isn't classed as an official IIHF competition there is no reason for us not to play CHL in Cardiff. From what I have been told IIHF...

There is a logical explanation for all the points raised of which I would be happy to explain I am in...

    The beams in the BBT are 7m above the ice, the beams in IAW are 9.3m above the ice the score board is 4m w x 2.4m h theres plenty of room. Its just an optical illusion i'm afraid. Hopefully when i get the drone video back (which shouldn't be to long) it will give you a better perspective.

    When we originally opened the BBT the capacity was 2000, I couldn't get the extra 300 standing agreed until the rink had proved it could cope with the with the 2000. We have a similar situation in IAW, the seating capacity is 3100 there is a walkway all the way around the top of the arena which...

    Just so you know, I am a Devils supporter, I am also a founder member of SORAC and still work closely with Mark, Glyn and Lisa, I was also 100% involved in instigating and assisting in the Devils take over last year so I think they have had plenty of my attention.

    You sound very bitter towards Greenbank chillee and i don't know why. I can understand every one being excited about the possibility of a buy out but there would be nothing to buy if Greenbank hadn't committed to the sports village development in the first place. They could have built the houses...
