GAME DAY: Your guide to what’s going on around Braehead Arena THIS SATURDAY

Saturday night’s alright for hockey and the Belfast Giants are in town for the latest meeting with Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West.

Games against Adam Keefe’s side are always good entertainment value so we can hopefully expect more of the same from this one.

That will come later, but it’s time to keep you updated with what you can look out for around the arena.

Remember, tickets remain available online so make sure you get yours while you can.  Face off at 7:00pm, with doors opening at 5:30pm.

Alternatively, if you can’t be here, purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £12.50 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.

Tonight’s match sponsors are our friends at Ogilvie Group.

The Giants are here

Belfast Giants visit Braehead Arena for what’s scheduled to be the last time and keen to turnaround a minor slump that has seen them lose their last three.

Their grip on the Elite League title might be slipping as the weeks go on, but their aim for tonight is simply to get back to winning ways.

Head coach Adam Keefe will make sure his team do all they can achieve that as they look to push closer to the top.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3:00pm and 7:00pm, then for an extra 15 minutes at the conclusion of the game and we’re there to accommodate game day buyers due to the cost of living crisis.

However, 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.

As stated above, tonight’s game is close to sell out, so book now to avoid disappointment.
