Re: Bandy, Sweden 12/2 Heya, I have seen some previous write-ups on Bandy and have a few questions! 1) What is it :eek I know its a winter sport, other than that im clueless! 2) Is it more reliable for favourites winning than say Ice Hockey? 3) Does home advantage make a significant difference? Thanks, Aldric EDIT At least I know what it is now :) Bandy is one of the many team sports where a stick is used to hit a ball. As in Shinty, Hurling, Field Hockey and Floorball the main objective is to get the ball into a goal. Unlike these sports, Bandy is played on ice with the players skating, but in contrast to Ice Hockey the playing field is the size of a Football (Soccer) field and is played with eleven players in each team. Many rules, like offside, are the same as, or very similar those in Soccer. Hence, Bandy is sometimes refered to as "the winter soccer".
