Totally agree.
The only solution is for BP/BC to hand the lease back to the Council and let us start again.
By BC's own admission, the current team is definately NOT the Cardiff Devils, it doesn't have the confidence of the Public (hence the empty rink), the Players (hence the 'if you turn up, you're in' selection process) local business (would you give money to BP?) or even the BNL itself, who turned down BPs initial application, and have obviouslu been duped by the second BP/BC one.
I don't agree with the latest spin that we should support our local talent (4 unpaid youngsters being 'used' by the team) or that we should allow BP/BC to stay otherwise we will have nothing at all.
The huge majority of Devils fans already feel that they have nothing anyway. BP/BC have already seen to this. They must go because they will NEVER be forgiven.
I don't mind getting my hockey 'fix' from the Under 19s for the rest of this season, and if they're good enough, maybe some can play in next years properly funded, organised, respected, and wanted side.
The current situation is just shaming the Devils name, and needs a vets injection.
