[Jerome_LOU_HOCKEY]

It was pie 

Oups, thanks Pie!

[Jerome_LOU_HOCKEY]

Round 1b will take place at Lille HC from 31/10 till 02/11!
First time that EHL will be in France!
I hope that it'll make us a lot of advertisment!

Shame that it will only be televised in France on the FR3 local news in the Nord Pas du Calais region 

Euro Hockey need better sponsors (besides BDO) than Dutch companies exclusive to the Dutch market and American car manufacturers with poor sales in Europe to sponsor their events if they are looking for wider audiences.

If it's on FRANCE3 Nord Pas de Calais, you'll be able to watch it on their website or on Freebox TV!
I'm wondering if I'm not going to Lille that week-end... Good opportunity to visit my cousin...

[Gocu]

ok so I can write some news about polish clubs - Pocztowiec Poznan is not the same team as in last year - they have got hard group and I'm afraid that they are without  chances for promotion from this group but I would like to make mistake;-)
Grunwald is also not the same team as in last year but... they are really stronger than one year ago - they have got 2-3 good players from U21 team more and noone went from Grunwald so it will be really stron team - I'm not afraid about their group cause it's quite weak...

we will see:)
regards

[Craggsy]

oooo lille, might eurostar it then 

[alex.]

Except the train from the North-East to London will probably cost more than the Eurostar to Lille! 

[Jerome_LOU_HOCKEY]

I hope for you British friends, that there won't be any more trouble with the eurostar like there has been recently...
