There are 3 buses coming Redders but looking at the seating plan for the NIC there are over 200 seats gone in Block 3 which I believe is usually for the away fans isn't it? It is indeed Harlan. You'll need to spill over into Block 2 I reckon which doesn't happen much at all these days unless we're playing Sheffield. That number of away fans will make for a great atmosphere! Are you sure about that? When I went to Panthers Vs Steelers earlier in the season, we were sat with the Panthers fans in Block 3. It appeared to me as though Steelers had Block 1 & 2? Could be mistaken though as I had consumed a rather large amount of alcohol by then.

Certainly am, just the 12 years and counting of watching hockey in that building Blocks 1 & 2 are the small, what you might perhaps call, mini-blocks. Block 2 is bigger than Block 1 mind. Block 3 is the first full-sized section you get to on that side of the Arena when you move away from the stage end. Anyway I hope the alcohol you consumed wasn't any of that NIC stuff that they pass off as beer? Why anyone buys more than one pint of that beggars belief!

Well, I only bought pints in there after already having consumed several pints at the hotel prior to the game, my perception of reality was already distorted by the time of arriving hahaha And I have to say it was the most hilarious game i've ever been to. We had the Steelers' fans on one side, Panthers' fans on the other, and me and my friend as 2 lone Phoenix fans. We were drunk out of our minds and just singing 'we hate you both, we hate you both' for about half the game in between laughing at another extremely drunken Steelers' fans who decided to started to start chanting 'Steeldogs' back at us and unintentionally starting a Steelers' chant from that. He was also shouting SMASH 'IM, at the top of his voice every single time a Panthers player proceeded across the blueline into the attacking zone. Good times, good stuff. But anyway i'll stop rambling now haha

Heading down by train, staying in Premier Inn in Sheffield City Centre, then staying at relatives near Nottingham on Sunday, back up by train on Monday. Should be a good weekend and any points Flyers pick up will be a bonus!

Made a last minute decision to head down for the games. Tickets and Premier Inn just booked. Leaving the house in the next few minutes - mon the Flyers!
