You can always tell when a Panther’s game is on by the mass of fans that appear in the city centre, turning Nottingham into a blur of yellow jerseys as they head towards the the game. And rightly so, with a team as iconic as the Nottingham Panthers, it’s not surprising that the fan base is so loyal. This Saturday you can catch them as they take on the Guildford Flames, at their usual spot, the Motorpoint Arena.
