Welcome to the new relaunched INTO THE STORM! The site is designed with Netscape users in mind - particularly versions 3 and 4. The site should work well with Netscape 2 and also with all versions of Internet Explorer. Users with non-frames compatible browsers will not be able to view the pages as they are intended. I would welcome feedback as to how the site looks with your browser. Please make sure your browser is Java and JavaScript enabled to enjoy the full effects of the site and the recommended resolution is 800x600 with at least 256 colours.

You can navigate this site by selecting one of the pages on the index page. A limited choice is available at all times from the left hand side. Hovering your mouse pointer over the links will give you a full description of each at the bottom of your browser.

You can click on the Into The Storm logo that you can see in the top left-hand corner of the screen at any time to return to the main index page.

Into The Storm is an independant online publication with no connection with Manchester Storm, its players and management.

Into The Storm was first created in May 1996 and launched on 13 May 1996 as Inter The Storm, a place to find news and interviews from Manchester Storm. It has now developed into a news and information service, as well as a look at light hearted sides of ice hockey and Manchester Storm in particular. On 1 May 1997, Into The Storm was launched as a new improved version of the site with new features such as the Manchester Storm Message Forum. The site had an official link with Stormforce for approximately 6 months, but in August the official supporters club decided that it was in their best interests to withdraw links with an unofficial site and to instead to wait for the official Storm Web site to be launched. In October 1997, Into The Storm announced a sponsorship deal with Southern Graphics of Northwich and so was relaunched with new graphics and a brand new URL of www.intothestorm.co.uk. Into The Storm is in no way intended as an official guide to Manchester Storm.

All of the pages at Into The Storm and the majority of graphics on the site are created and written using nothing more complex than Notepad. If you wish to contribute anything then please let me know and I'll be happy to include it.
