Pirates can’t wait for Shark Attack
PAISLEY Pirates have come up with a new plan to increase their fan base … afternoon games.
The move comes as dates for their Scottish Cup ties against Solway Sharks are unveiled.
The first leg for Bobby Haig’s side will be played at the Braehead Arena on Sunday, November 11, with the return leg in Dumfries on Sunday, November 18.
And the club has decided to have face-off at 3pm on Sunday, November 11 in a bid to attract families who may wish to visit the shopping centre prior to the match.
The face-off in Dumfries on Sunday, November 18, is at 6pm.
Pirates’ managing director Allan Paul said: “Ice hockey has a reputation for being a family sport and what better way to cater for the family than to have a face-off time that will allow these families to enjoy the facilities of the whole Braehead experience before the game.
“If this experiment is a success, then we will look to repeat the exercise in the future, subject to ice availability.”
Pirates have also decided to reduce their admission prices for the remainder of the season which will prove to be a big incentive to the Paisley faithful.
