Friendlies and pre-season games at ice hockey are poor fare at very best, ultimately meaningless fixtures that are best avoided. I can't watch them any more, my advice is to give this a miss doubly so because of the ludicrously high admission cost. £54 !, that's way too high.

Think I'll be giving it a miss. £108 for me and the other half to sit through four meaningless games? No thanks. There's certainly nothing I've seen from the team over the past couple of weekends to get excited about and last night made up my mind for certain.

No danger I will be over £108 saved and no horrendous 3 / 4th place AKA Nottingham to endure.

£108? I think it will be £30 per adult per day on the door. At those prices it deserves to be poorly attended (by ALL teams) and although I plan to be there it's only through insanity rather than rational thinking.

I guess £30 for two Elite League games would be ok, but for two friendlies should be 20 quid tops. Plus this season we can see Flyers playing Caps, Stars and Clan any month you want! For me the reason I'm not going is Flyers play Stars at 2 o'clock, which clashes with Rovers big game with Ayr United at Starks park.

Im not going based on the cost for friendly games.
But if we had witnessed good games the past 2 weekends then I might have thought about going, given the standard I saw over the 2 games I was at there is no chance of that happening. To be honest Im not sure when I will bother going to my next game most likely against the blaze to watch Dingle return and show us what we are missing.

Hmm its always an odd one. We keep banging on about getting some preseason games and then when it happens were not happy. Its all about balance I suppose..far too expensive to go sit in the fridge plus travel as well... cant help but think it would have been better to spread the games around the rinks and had the tournament as a mini league. Any hoo its always another opportunity for more injuries before the season gets underway properly. Am concerned now about last import signing and the fragile Stockton.

Far too expensive for us, we don't mind giving up the odd evening at work for a good game (night off costs us £100) but when we've got to pay those prices, to sit in those seats this one isn't worth it for us.

No interest in watching any game that doesn't involve Flyers, so not paying the money when only 50% of the 4 games does. The old place has character but I've no interest in sharing it for a weekend with 3 other sets of fans, a nightmare getting served beer on a quiet game.

Really hate going to games with the moronic Clan drummer thinking he is the main attraction, hope he gets banned from KIA as part of their new strategies ......not being a party pooper it is just so annoying I find it extremely detrimental to my match night experience.

KIA Match night DJ / Announcer whatever would get hunted for me as well, don't you just cringe at his attempts to get the crowd going, mistaken announcements, the Anthem at the weekend etc etc........... not what we need IMO.

The DJ is the worst part about the whole match night experience for me. He's far too loud. He waits until the crowds are in before "testing" his sound equipment all the while bursting the ear drums of every person in the place and once he finds his preferred volume it's still far too loud. Can't stand him. You'd think they would be able to replace him with someone with a bit more banter/energy/know how. He's not good at all and the worst part of it is, he's full of him self. Loves the sound of his own voice for sure.
