GAME DAY: Your guide to what’s going on around Braehead Arena THIS SATURDAY
It’s semi-final day and Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, are ready for a big Challenge Cup test as Guildford Flames roll into town.
Both sides are at least 120 minutes away from a place in the 2024 final and what happens tonight could determine how the rest of the tie goes down.
As always, what happens on the ice will take care of itself so we’ll concentrate on things happening elsewhere and what to expect when you visit Braehead Arena.
Tickets are sold out so please don’t travel to Braehead Arena unless you have purchased one.
Alternatively, if you can’t be here for that or any other reason, you can purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £12.50 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv. Face off at 7:00pm, with doors opening at 5:30pm.
Tonight’s match sponsor our good friends from Aspray Glasgow West.
Overcoming the Flames
Guildford are in town for their third visit to Braehead Arena of the season and are looking for a victory that will give them an edge in the first of their two-legged last four affair.
Flames’ record against the Clan is a good one through the years, but Paul Dixon’s side have yet to taste success in this particular building.
For many of the individuals involved, it could be a chance to step up and play a big part in how this tie pans out. It promises to be quite the occasion ahead.
Box Office Open
The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3:00pm and 7:00pm. The team are here to help answer any ticket-related queries, however, tonight’s game is a SELL OUT and as a result, we have no tickets available for purchase online or at the box office.
