First of all hello everyone, I've not long been a fan of hockey and it's only in the last couple of years watching the NHL has really got me into it. I've lived in Cardiff for 20 odd years and never been to a game but I do go skating at the rink once every week which is also something I've only started doing in the last year.
Today I found this forum and figured I'd ask about a few things that seem to be impossible to get an answer for. Today was my 31st birthday and the Mrs agreed to drive me down to the rink to buy me a new Devils jersey as I figured it would be good to support the local team and get down to the rink to watch some games but upon arriving and going into the shop inside the rink the man behind the desk of the shop seemed completley uninterested in helping me when I asked if the new jerseys had been released. Feeling somewhat unwanted we left and I went into town to grab a birthday bite and then check out proline skates to see if they sold them or would be. I spoke to the guy in Proline and he seemed a hell of a lot more interested in being helpful but told me how he wouldn't be stocking them due to some kind of issue they have with providing them to him, he further told me that he would gladly have them on the racks even though he'd make no profit at all on them and that he'd just be happy to help the customers out.
At this point I was a little confused by why it seems to be so hard to get a new jersey so I came home and popped onto the PC to have a browse on the official club website only to see that the new jerseys are "coming soon". I also found this a little odd as there is a preseason game tomorrow and apparently I still can't buy a jersey. As I said I'm new to the Cardiff Devils but it's seems very hard to figure out what the hell is going on with the club so I did a little browsing on twitter and was told that the new jersey had been posted on twitter.
All of the jersey stuff aside I thought to myself "I'll go to the game tomorrow" but when I went on to book tickets there seemed to be no option to book a ticket online. Now I hate using phone numbers to book tickets and I can't find any information on if I can turn up and buy a ticket on the day either.
So why am I on here sounding like a right moaning git? Well simply put it's because I want to watch some hockey, maybe become a big fan of the sport, get my two little girls into it or even my nephews but so far it seems a very confusing and complex set off affairs to get involved. I was wondering if I've inquired at a bad time or if the club is always so difficult for fans/potential new fans?
