I booked my seat on the coach to Bracknell earlier, how many others will be making the trip?
I've never been to the Beehive, looking forward to my first visit (can anyone tell me what it's like there?)
Cheerz!

Always a good atmosphere but the view the away fans get isn't great because the tier above the away fans sloaps down so if you are sitting on the back row you can't see the players heads, best to sit half way.

The Hive is an absolute hole...the colour scheme is eye-wateringly bad (yellow, black and white) and the bit where the away fans sit is possibly the crummiest away section in the top two leagues (with the possible exception of Basingstoke), since you're stuck in what was christened by Blaze fans two years ago as 'the basement'. Still-it magnifies the noise, so you sound even louder than usual-myself and Whiskey shall be there for our and the Blaze's second trip to the Hive..

Seriously hope they've had the decorators in since two years ago. As for what the rink is like- Anyone remember Slough as it's the nearest likeness I can think of.
What should be interesting in this one is that it is a complete role reversal of the favourites/underdogs set up of two years ago.
However their early results have been impressive and Lee Ricco is already off the mark

Just rang the Bracknell ice arena and asked about tickets for the game, this is what was said: Tickets go on sale at 5pm You buy a ticket (apparently £7) not bad! The seats aren't numbered so you sit anywhere you want in: Block 2  |

The coach leaves at 2.30 I believe.
Will be my 1st trip to Bracknell and I'm really looking forward to it.
Hopefully we will avoid being the 1st EIHL club to lose to a BNL team, even though this could be the toughest of the cross over games

Let's face it at some point this year a BNL team will beat their more illustrious moments. It will be a bit like last year waiting to see who the Racers beat first.
My prediction is that Away at either Fife or Newcastle is where someon will come a Hayley first

It will be my first visit to Bracknell and am looking forward to it.
Seeing what people have said about the place i will reserve judgement till i have seen the place it cannot be any worse than some of the old speedway stadiums(hull springs to mind)of the 70s that i went to.
The Bees have had a good start lets hope we can bring them down to earth with a big bang

Unlike most Speedway stadia the Hive does at least have a roof.
Hope the defence is on form tomorrow as the Bees have already rattled in over 30 goals in only 4 games so far this season
