That club are literally becoming a parody of themselves. Major case of foot in mouth here.

I doubt Smith is feeling the pinch. Average arena attendance is 5300 so far this season. Up from 4700 over last season. Whatever the baffling reason is, it's probably not that... |

Stopping the SSSC from arranging travel to away games because it might be affecting home attendances! What a load of nonsense, sounds mental to me.

The league Chairman has asked his own teams fans to not attend away games. He evens states he has no concrete evidence that shows steelers fans going to away games has an impact on home attendance.
Think about that the league chairman is looking to limit (or at least have an impact) on the income of 9 teams in the league. This league is going to be destroyed by clowns like this.
Unbelievable to say the least!

Almost as bad as the four pucks and a wee pool ball CC draw fiasco!

Fair play to him he has come out to say he was wrong and they have out the away travel back in place through their Supporters club.
Screwed up that they did this in the first place but at least they listened to their fans and put a wrong right.

Yeah, but the fact he even had this thought process in the first place, implemented it without evidence is a bad example for the EIHL chairman to set. |

Oh it was a PR disaster from the Steelers alone, the fact it came from the league chairman is shocking. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the other owners/board members where on the phone to Tony Smith over this one. |

Bad week at the Office for Smith
Can you imagine Mr Simms reaction if that had come from elsewhere
He would have been a dog with a bone
The supporters would have done their own thing anyway its easy enough to order a bus buy a ticket book a hotel
Or even set up a Forum.......
