I've never had a problem playing at FIA. Nor, Murrayfield, not even at the "Ice Palace" at Limekilns Road in Ayr. 3 very different rinks. You adapt to play on the rink you're in.
In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with FIA. Injuries would happen regardless.

eliminating injuries is impossible, it's about minimising the risk due to foreseeable circumstances, whether thats ensuring players wear appropriate kit, the rink itself is safe or that certain behaviours are punished appropriately, they all play a part. Exactly. You are always going to get injuries in a physical game, but there will be proportionately more injuries at the FIA because of lack of glass down the penalty box side and the stiffness of the boards/glass all around, both of which can be sorted. Money is obviously the barrier, but I don't see how you can deny they should both be sorted if money was no object. i would love to see your proof of that, you think other teams have not had these injuries, seriously as for peacock, his injury was his own fault, if there was glass at the point where he hit bobby, he wouldnt have tried to put him over the boards, the fact he hit him and tried to put him over the boards is THE reason he got that injury, nothing else

I read that as, if plexiglass was at that point, Craig wouldn't have tried to put bob over the boards, but how many other players have tried that since the glass was put in, none that I can remember. But I do remember a few times in the past when players were put over the boards when we had no glass, Sammy on Ted Russel the season before Ted came to us, dutes and karry the year before karry came to us from the flames, none resulted in injury, so where is the proof that having glass stops these types of injuries, I tend to agree with feedmemore
