The word is spreading: Ice Wars hits nufc.co.uk

Newcastle Vipers Ice Wars promotion reached a new audience today as the match was advertised on nufc.co.uk, the official website of Newcastle United Football Club.

United and the Vipers are building an excellent working relationship, and that is evidenced by the promotion of Ice Wars to all NUFC Season Ticket Holders.

The Winn Solicitors-backed Vipers are working on similar promotions with other North East clubs, and coach Danny Stewart is embarking on a mini tour of the region to meet his counterparts in a wide range of sports.

Newcastle United have just begun their first season back in the Premier League after winning the Coca Cola Championship last season.

Ice Wars is the Vipers' home opener for the 2010-11 Elite League season and sees Newcastle take on Sheffield Steelers while off the ice there is a Star Wars theme to the night, featuring half a dozen characters from the films - including three iconic Stormtroopers.  Tickets are available now from the club on 0191 477 4100 or online at www.vipershockey.co.uk/shop.
