GAME DAY: What’s going on THIS FRIDAY at Braehead Arena
The weekend starts here and the beginning of not one, but two consecutive home double header weekends and in this instance, it’s all about the league points.
Belfast Giants have made the crossing from Northern Ireland for the first league meeting between the sides in Braehead Arena.
The action takes care of itself, of course, so we’ll look at what else is going on around the arena as we start the weekend in the best possible way.
In the meantime, tickets for the game remain available so get them now from the Clan website. Face off is at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 6pm.
Alternatively, if you can’t be here, purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £15 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.
Giants November trilogy ends
It feels like we’ve seen the Giants quite often in recent weeks and it’s true, having played them twice in the last couple of weeks so for the final time in November, Belfast are the opponents once more.
Adam Keefe’s side picked up a three point weekend last week with a home win over Guildford Flames and an overtime loss in Nottingham against the Panthers but will zero in starting their weekend in Scotland with victory.
Corey Neilson and the Clan team may have something to say about that.
Viva Las Glas-Vegas!
It’s the most dazzling weekend of the season and it’s the first day of our Glasvegas weekend, with fun, frolics and the energy of the famous city in Nevada.
We’ve got a croupier with a roulette table, music, a fun photobooth and prizes – from merch vouchers to hospitality – to look out for. All you need to know can be found on this article on the Clan website.
Havana Blonde
We’ve got musical guests in the building as Havana Blonde will be in the foyer for a pre-game performance on Friday and then afterwards, in the Clansman Lounge for a Post-Game Pint performance (open to all fans). Listen out for this talented duo and enjoy their performances in Braehead Arena tonight.
Box Office Open
The Braehead Arena box office is open between 4:00pm and 8:00pm, here to accommodate game day buyers for this or future fixtures.
However, in future where possible, fans are asked to continue to purchase tickets online in advance, but any sales at the box office will be at the same price as online sales.
