Whitley Warriors

Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice shiny rink!!
Just reburbing the entrance would help, and .............We all know what it needs!

I certainly don't think Solway will be the team they were last season. Certainly makes it more interesting

former warriors player Nathan Salem has left the Solway Shark to join EPL outfit Telford Tigers

it's about time he stepped back up a level, far too good a player to be playing NIHL

not looking good for Solway tho,  Balmer and Salem gone, Mitchell and Conolly looking for a move to a higher league and also Russell not available much due to work commitments

will reynolds stay now he has lost his carpool buddy etc

going to be an interesting season next season and i for one am looking forward to it already

Interview with Solway Sharks coach Martin Grubb

The player interviews were quite interesting, yes.

I also like to read about news elsewhere; matchday intervals is where I usually catch up on what's going on in the weird and wonderful world of hockey (foreign and domestic). Most weeks there's something in there about the rest of our league, and occasionally there's a few snippets of other UK and NHL info, but to very varying degrees.

I also find the snippets we get every now and again about ex-warriors very interesting, it's always good to know how well (or not!) the former warriors are doing.

Info on opposition is good.

The coaches intro has been a little bland for my liking recently, however I appreciate that's probably more of a copy and paste for you.

There's a team not too far away from us where I've been to some away games... their name escapes me... pretty sure they've just lost an important playoff final... oh well, it'll come to me. Anyway, they (at least, they used to) staple a raffle ticket inside each programme, for a chance to win summit or other. Might not be a bad idea to do something similar, to (a) incentivise people to buy a copy, and (b) make me feel better about parting with another £40-50/season. I realise there's something similar with the hotshot, but participating in that isn't really my cup of tea, despite having had two signed programmes this season.

Oh, and a free twix
