I’d like the owners/Council to tell everyone who has the lease to the facility and is the 2nd ice pad going to remain in its current format.
As for the logo and rebranding explanation, if a business wants to grow & has the room too, great, bring it on. Exactly how will the Devils, with a limited capacity arena , grow, how do you, well maybe their looking at the average age of a typical fan and realised that demographic has an age limiting risk to the long term future of the club. Or maybe the mystical gantry does exist in reality. Maybe the council have promised a new 14,000 seat facility, maybe…..not a chance.
As for this being my “Wet dream”, nothing disappoints me more than fans leaving the club in the way they did yesterday. Ironically I’d love my comments to be wrong, to be belittled by those who do regularly, after a night of joy, great signings, an amazing rebranding that utilised the fan base via the fan group they formed before COVID (where are they now) and a fully revamped facility with all its many many faults and poor maintenance and facilities fully addressed and fixed. For the 2nd ice pad to be full of young kids, teenagers and adults enjoying a skate, people buying up not only the new merch, but also food, drinks, snacks etc etc.
I so wish to be massively wrong, yet here we are, still……
