IAW was only built to cater for all Ice users in Wales, the second pad was for public skaters,figure skaters, junior teams all ages,ladies teams, theHuskies Sledgeteam, and initially Curling, and without all these supporters it would never have got off the ground. The Council didn’t really give a toss whether the Devils had a new home, or if they never and that’s the truth, and Greenbank had to fork out the £17 million to build it, which they had to do to get the housings/ flats contract, at that time we were getting attendances of around 1,200, and to get a home with 2,000 extra seats , and two ice pads,was incredible and a gods send. Players were disappearing thru the floor in the shower room at the Big Blue Tent,and some were even found washed up in Penarth. So ex amount of years down the road it ain’t perfect, but we kept our team and club, otherwise we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Our home is in the top 4 in the country, after spending 10 yrs in a shit hole, yes we loved that dump, but by god was it a dump.
