This sunday we see the Telford Titans visiting Hillheads, and in the matchday programme will bea new feature. Look out for 'A view from Smoggyland'. This brand new feature gives an insight into how a Bombers fan views the Warriors. Here is an excerpt from the matchday programme.

"It’s often breathtaking watching Warriors break out of defence with two players flying down the wings, a couple of quick cross ice passes and then the puck buried in the back of the net. I’ve watched that and been bewildered about how easy you make the game look. In the last couple of games I’ve seen this seems to be coming back with Karl Culley back in form and linking well with Ryan Sample. Hockey’s a tough sport and I think we all like seeing big mid-ice hits and D men splattering a forward into the plexi glass. Traditionally Warriors have given a clear message that they’re not to be messed with lightly. That’s a good thing - intimidation’s part of hockey in my book. I’ve seen teams come here where the players focus more on preserving their bits and pieces than winning."

You can read the full feature in our matchday programme on Sunday when the Whitley Warriors take on the Telford Titans at Hillheads. face off is 6.30pm.
