Anybody going to the Forum tonight who could keep us updated please?

Regards

Doom

I would have been the one @Doom and have provided a virtual running commentary before and am happy to do it normally but as some of you may know, I wont or cant attend tonight due to the obvious ongoing covid issues, so would be great if this thread is updated in my absence..

I’m really surprised the club are holding it where they are. If it is like previous events it’ll be packed. Have they announced anywhere if they are limiting numbers or requiring any Covid checks prior to entry? I hope it’s a great evening for everyone, but I think I’m going to give it a miss as it’s too risky.

No problem Jay, I did have you in.mind when I posted, but much better to stay safe than attend a forum.

Hopefully somebody else will adopt your role and keep us informed.

Hopefully will receive updates from someone at the forum. Considered going but knackered and headache after work day so not for me today.

Would like to hear an explanation on the rationale for import/brit splits and limit on game night bench size.

Nothing added as yet

Photo from tonight's forum... quite surprised not to see anyone wearing a mask!

So all these next updates are from Twitter feed bud, by the way of an updating here I thought it be all in one place..

Tony confirms that the Continental Cup will be played no matter if fans are no able to attend - We hope they can!

Tony confirms that sponsorship is strong and a big thank you to Mike O'Connor for all his efforts in that department. As always, a big thank you to all of our personal and corporate sponsors!

Question from the floor about TV Deals - Tony says that the deals to date haven't been right for the club.

Working hard behind the scenes as a league to find the right deal.

Not there yet but watch this space!

Similar questions and answers regarding a headline sponsorship deal for the league.

Again, always open to the right offer but that hasn't been put on the table yet.

Question from the floor regarding Ticket Master...

Tony passes to Dom for the second part of the Forum - Answers coming later!

Question from a fan regarding the Video Tron

Tony confirm that plans are in place to upgrade the Tron in due course.

It's done a good job for the last 9 years, but we understand this needs advancing - It's not cheap!
Tony confirms that a new screen has been purchased (same as the one that was on the parkway last season).

This is in testing and will act as a second screen during next season (may be ready just after the start of the season)

Fan asks about ticket sales for the pre-season and first game back.

Tony confirms that ticket sales are very strong and is expecting a sell out for both.

Question regarding £5 games.

Dave confirms these are continuing and will be the midweek games, the last 2 games of the season against Belfast and the CC quarter final.

Tony confirms that the fans who missed out on the 3 games at the end of the 19/20 season will get the CC quarter final and the 2 finals games of the season against the Belfast Giants for free.

Only those who haven't had a season ticket for 21/22 need to contact the office - The others will be added to the season ticket for eligible season ticket holders.
