It's a conspiracy!

Apparently.

According to some Scimitars fans, and a handfull of 'neutrals', it's a tad too convenient that todays game was cancelled due to 'inclement weather', and we only ndid it ot avoid the embarassment of losing 2 games on the bounce.

Fuck right off.

Seriously.

Fuck off.

Do these people seriously believe that the Phoenix would try to deliberatly cancell a game to avoid a possible loss? I can see it now:

'Oh noes! If we lose today we will only be 2nd in the league and will have lost 2 games on the trot1 What to do?

Wait! I have an idea....(picks up phone and dials)... Hello, Sheffield Scimitars? Yeah, erm, we can't like get near the rink, so, y'know, erm, we are calling the game off..b-bye!'

Hmmm, me thinks not somehow.

The real reason (as I'm sure most of y'all know) is that a: arounf 50% of the match night crew couldn't get to the rink from their house due to the weather, and b: access to the rink itslef was poor as the road leading to it had not been gritted or cleared.

I have also been told that the Scims phoned us and said they were having difficulty getting to Manchester due to the weather.

So, no conspiracy (unless of course the Scims were in on it all along.... Oh Noes!).

One more thing:

A massive congratulations to the GB u20s on their Gold Medal winning performance this past week at the World Championships. The Pyre salutes you!
