Loadsa,
Your first message was timed at 8.14 and by 9.53 you assume that no-one has replied because we don't have an answer?
Sorry mate, but contrary to what my missus thinks I am not permantly glued to my pc!
To answer some of your questions:
We HAVE protested outside Bar Ice and Reds. There have also been other peacefull and legal activities (which I will not go into here) against his other interests.
The WNIR, is however the focal point. To many of us it represents so many happy memories.
Would I be happy to see 4 years without hockey? No of course not but if that is the price I have to pay then I guess I'll have to pay it.
I was pleased to note the improved behaviour on both sides last night.
I know we're never going to agree, and I'm man enough to accept that. Part of me aches to be back inside that rink, but I have to make this stand , not against the kids or the players, but against Phillips and Candy. I can see your side of the argument and trust that you can see, and respect, mine.
Tony
