I dont Know if this is anything you guys would want to do, but hopefully some of you will... I am hoping for some solidarity lol ;)

In an Attempt to raise awareness, even a small amount, I am hoping in our off season to get as many of my friends to use these avatars and signatures... on their social media and of course on Steeltalk..

Its of course completely up to you guys but if you could then it might just save a few lives... It may not but hey what is the harm in trying something so simple... :thumbs:

Simply use these Avatars and Signature in your profile or just ask me to do it for you..

Does the Arena have insurance that covers them for the loss of revenue from concerts etc? I’d imagine that all the investment promised for you're arena was based on a steady revenue stream, which has now been removed.

I’m betting a few arenas and ice rinks will be financially impacted, unless they’ve been converted into morgues, like Milton Keynes and are getting funds that way...

Rink at MK is getting setup to be a temporary morgue, and more rinks might be needed for this purpose. It’s all immensely sobering stuff to see. :sad:

I am sure I read somewhere that the Arena is only being used as a storage facility.
The NHS hospitals have had a large amount of new beds and these are the old ones that they have replaced as the NHS are utilising their storage for more important goods.

It's also being used as a distributor for the new Nightingale hospital in Harrogate.

So, we’re about a month into this lock down situation. On the news everyday are reports about the lack of PPE equipment at our hospitals. Could the Steelers/Rhino produce masks with the Steelers logo on for the fans to buy? Maybe for every box of masks sold, donate a box to a hospital/care home. They could even do masks for other teams fans to buy, with a donation of masks made to their local hospitals, the more that are bought the more the hospitals receive. I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra to ensure that the NHS received their masks.

Hope everyone is well and keeping safe👍.
