sorry - missed that one - its moved to page 2 now so didn't see it when I was searching.
I just hope it is true - I take me son to hockey camps at Ice Sheffield twice a year - you can't beat 2 pads and plenty of changing rooms.

Well i know this dont mean sod all, but our gaff was only built to last 3-5yrs, and the 5yrs are up then, so really it should happen. Everything is supposed to be happening, and planet ice new contract will be up then, hopefully we will have some definate news either way soon, if the Council are not forcoming, they can expect one HELL of a visit from SORAC, of which they have never experienced before. We meant business last time to get our present gaff, and they didnt want to upset anyone, so if they have any sense at all they wont want to rub us up the wrong way. Theres one thing and that is we will be ready for them.
I too was shocked how quickly the new City Stadium went up. Each week you went you could notice how much work had been done on it.
Can anyone remember how long our current Tent took to be built? It was supposed to be much quicker because it was delayed due to poor choice of people to build it - e.g. one of the arches falling over and having to be replaced.
Something in the back of my head also makes me think that the new rink won't be built on the site of the current tent, but to the side? So it would be possible to stat building the new rink whilst still using our current tent.
Also, wasn't there talk of some of the Sports Village being used by other countries to train during the 2012 Olympics? If so - then it would definately need to be built by the start of 2012 at least.

I have to agree, if we could have something like Sheffields dual pad it would be amazing, that place is fantastic, one side Ice Hockey other public skating and figure skating, excellent chaning rooms, and dont get me started on the public toilets wow, clean warm with proper handryers, Dyson blade :lol: . Back on a serious note, we deserve a new rink.
It would have to be built alongside the tent. Even if construction started the day after the last home game of the season, there's no way that they could decommission the tent and complete the new rink by the start of the next season. That's not to mention the other people who would use the rink in the off-season, the figure skaters, public skaters, learn to play program etc.
Nope definately Sheffield, they have the Steelers home and they also have a dual pad, all within walking distance of each other...well from the dual pad you can see the Steelers home from across the park !! And it a fantastic facility, if Cardiff plans anything like this Im going to be very happy indeed !!
