Exactly my thoughts. I had a brilliant time watching Storm back in the day. The MEN Arena was fantastic for it. As I've said, I've tried to get behind Manchester Phoenix but just not clicked at all. Alty Arena is terrible. Might try get to the odd game but it's the Arena which is the problem still.

Nope. Elite League play against each other. Manchester Storm have arranged a pre-season game against Peterborough Phantoms from the EPL though.

Charming.

Phoenix have been playing in Altrincham for a while but they have been in a disagreement with the owners of the Rink and have been booted out. Phoenix are trying to get a rink built near the Emptyhad. However, the permission hasn't gone through which means Phoenix could have to play their hockey at Deeside Rink in Wales. Manchester Storm have gone into the top league because Hull Stingrays have gone into liquidation. The League had a meeting and allowed Storm to return. Alot of Phoenix fans used to be Storm fans meaning there's a divide in fans who are going back to Storm and those who are staying loyal to Phoenix. Alot of Phoenix fans feel Storm is a part of their history and this is totally wrong. Meanwhile, alot of Storm fans didn't follow Phoenix in the first place as it didn't feel the same. You would have thought the Phoenix owner had some sort of legal rights on the Storm name but it seems not. I think the league had some sort of say on who can have the name and when it can be used. Right now, you have a divide, like I said. Personally, it doesn't change anything for me as I hate Altrincham and it's a crap rink. Nothing will bring back the times at the MEN aena. I can't see there being two Ice Hockey teams in Manchester as Phoenix struggled to pull in a decent crowd when they was in Altrincham. Storm currently have no players whilst Phoenix are building and bringing in their new additions for the upcoming season in the Second tier.

Was a huge Storm fan back in the day. Loved it at the Arena. Then it all went tits up and turned into Phoenix and I never really took to it. I went to a few games but it didn't feel right. Doesn't change much though as Storm will be playing in Altrincham and it's a :censored: for me to get to.

Ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole Georgie Green Green Green? No? I'll get my coat then.

Cracking. Was starting to forget what it felt like to be linked with/sign a player.

Me no likey.

Are people expecting us to sign Dani Alves or something?

I reckon more people will definitely join in with the Athleticos this season too. Just been watching Eintracht Frankfurt against Bayer Leverkusen and they sounded absolutely fantastic. English atmosphere is on its arse really. Glad we're doing something about it.

I hope not. It looks so fake. I would leave the flag waving to fans in the stand. The way Arsenal do it is so cringey. Flat atmosphere with a ball boy waving a flag when they score.

Bring him back. Stop at The Jeremy Kyle show in Manchester and let the genuis Graham have a word with him.

His face.

For those who missed it, is it available to listen to anywhere?

Some people on this forum don't half talk some bollocks.

Rochdale away. Loved it Brilliant.

No to Gabbidon. Bloody hell, no! Wouldn't mind Chris Dagnall here.

Looks like Simon was watchin' some dirty stuff on his phone. He jumped and was quick to switch off aha.
