If hockey teams were like.....

[Claret & Blue Army]

TV programs they would be

London Racers
EastEnders- Painful to watch unless there's a fight

Sheffield Squealers
Last Of The Summer Wine- Well past their sell by date and only loved by odd people with silly accents

Basingstoke Bison
South Bank Show- Just there to fill up the numbers but nobodys really interested

Belfast Giants
Shameless- An aquired taste. Beloved by some but difficult to get into for others (Due to cancellations )

Nottingham Panthers
Top Of The Pops- Been around for years but has seen better days

Cardiff Devils
Emmerdale- Always near the top but usually the number 2

Manchester Phoenix
Crossroad- Relaunced every few years but never holds enough interest for long enough to sustain

Coventry Blaze
Big Brother- Loved by their own fans, scornfully derided by others, but get everybody talking in some fashion ahead of other matters



Okay who can do others?

Premiership Football Teams

Coventry Blaze
Chelsea - Coach is a class act and on course for a double or even trebble

Cardiff Devils
Newcastle Utd - Always up there but never win anything

Belfast Giants
Manchester Utd - Not as dominant as they have been but still challenging near the top

Nottingham Panthers
Tottenham Hotspur - Sleeping giants

Sheffield Sqeelers
Liverpool - Living on old reputations

London Racers
Crystal Palace - Nowhere near as good as the top teams but well organised and can beat anyone on their day

Basingstoke Bison
Southampton - Have struggled over the past couple of seasons but still up there with the Elite making up the numbers

Months of the year!

Coventry Blaze - July(or August), Hottest thing going!!

Belfast Giants - September, Not quite there, but does have hot streaks.

Cardiff Devils - May, Again, almost at the height (of summer) but not quite!

Sheffield Steelers - February, not everyones favourite month, but still capable of blowing hot or cold!

Nottingham Panthers - November, always second best as November is always noted as being the second best winter month behind December!!

London Racers - October, Capable of shocks such as nice sunshine or just terrible weather!

Basingstoke Bison - April, always in transition from one season to the next! Never the best!

Manchester Phoenix - January, Always the dawning of something new!


Well, its different!!
