“Have the arena owners forgotten about the Panthers playing that night?
...Wait a minute, of course Panthers fixtures are 'subject to change' as ever. As a fan I feel that we are treated as 2nd class citizens, all because one event can make more money than others. Shame on the money men who don't seem to care about Panthers, whom only seem to be allowed to play there so they (the money men) can have some income when no one requires the use of the arena.
Anyway good luck to Carl.”
