Got tickets for the Saturday game, but it will be the stream for the Sunday one.

Might have been tempted if there was an offer for buying Saturday & Sunday tickets together.

Huuuuuge games these, an opportunity to send a real statement of intent if we can win both.

I’ve gone for a weekend split though. Just hoping we come out slightly on top. Personally I don’t think Belfast are the side that they were last season, but still expect two tough games.

Flying in for these games, also a good opportunity to see my family.

Hope to see some of you in the HoS whilst I'm over.

Soooooo how we all feeling now panthers beat them going into this game? Wounded animal? Or not to be feared as much as they aren't the same beast as last season? I don't know how to call it won't lie

I'll be over the moon with a split.

We've made hard work of beating some very average teams so far.

This is a big test.

Belfast so far have shown that they are a good team, I know they tripped up the other day but I don't expect them to do so very often, they are the team we need to be measured against to get a better assessment of our progress.

Considering the times we are in, it would've been beneficial to both fans and the club to do a weekend special imo.

This would be the least attractive outcome for both teams. Games in hand over Flames need an all-out winner. Giants don't inspire confidence they are capable of a 4-point weekend

I think I would agree that Belfast do appear to be the team that we need to be measured against. Not sure they're as dynamic as they were last season, but still a very good team. Besko and Picnic are quite a big miss for them I think.

However, if we win both games in regulation, I think there's a strong argument that it could be us that is finally setting the benchmark.

We'll certainly know after the weekend that is for sure.

Guildford won't win the league.

We're more than capable on our day of winning both this weekends games but by the same admission completely the opposite.

Split points would be a reasonably good outcome.
