Time to call tonights game off because of the weather. :evil:
I'd write (another) email to Andy French but what good would it do? As long as we play in this league we are not going to get a fair crack of the whip.
I agree with the calls to play in the EPL. Better to play in a league with an even playing field than in this joke.
Said it before but the EPL is a much, much worse league to play in. The Elite league is on a much more even playing field then the EPL, just look at both tables, as with the elite league there is no wage cap, EPL doesn't have a rulebook, there are more teams in that league with financial issues and have been in the past then the EIHL, worse referees, the arena's/rinks are worse, worse standard of hockey, average attendance in the league is in the hundreds compared to like 2,000 in the elite league, it isn't on t.v, teams in EPL would only bring a dozen away fans compared to maybe over 100 in the EIHL. Why would devils want to play in the 2nd tier, they are one of the powerhouses of british ice hockey and with this years team could be the best team in the whole of the UK and could be playing in europe next year. The crowds are on the rise and its because of the entertaining product on the ice in the EIHL, this would drop in the EPL along with the crowds which the devils have worked so hard and long to get back.
As for the incident I cannot understand why a video of the event hasn't been released, if the devils management are adamant it was not a hit to the head then why don't they release the video for all to see. Also just a quick thing every single fan in this league thinks the league is against their team, that is just fans being fans
