The Devils have posted a feedback form on their site for Greenbank. This is our chance as fans to make a difference and help the club out. Greenbank, whilst having a lot of experience with development, don't have any experience with running an icerink. IAW staff are on the ball and working hard to make the arena work as well as possible but can only act on what Greenbank let them. I'd urge all fans to print and fill out the form on the Devils site and help make the arena a better place for us all.
Do be positive and constructive. If you are suggesting changes, illustrate how it will help them and rink users. No one likes to be told what they are doing is crap, but I'm sure they will take good advice on board.
One area we can probably push strongly is the Devils branding throughout the Arena. Greenbank don't understand how hockey clubs and rinks work in synergy hence why there is no sign of the Devils in the bar or on the outside of the building. Maybe suggest some memorabilia in the bar, trophy case, photos etc would help make the place less sterile without harming the appeal of the venue for other users. (who would expect it to be there anyway). Maybe suggest that just having a sign saying IAW outside the arena and nothing else does nothing to advertise the arena or what it is. A big devils logo would be great but just letting people know there is an ice rink there seems a bit of no brainer. Things like food and sorting the queues are being handled by IAW staff but these bigger issues need to be agreed by Greenbank. Post a feedback form. Post 2. Get your mates to fill them out and stand over them till they do. It's something we can help with so lets mobalize the red army.
