Plus games verses Nottingham and Sheffield.
I think I can get behind this. It's just Alty's arena that is the problem, and with the GM owning the Ice Dome (or whatever it's called now) you can't see them moving elsewhere any time soon.
HOWEVER, it will be the smallest arena in the Elite League, especially when you take into consideration Sheffield, Notts, Belfast etc., and if he wants the team to be a success he'll surely have to look at increasing capacity or moving the team.
I can't see Phoenix building their own arena, best case scenario, and one that would never happen, is that the two clubs share a purpose built arena somewhere.
