Not going to slate anyone for being supportive of one of the coaches. If Hutchy is winning, I'm happy. It's not so easy to like him if we are losing and keep finding a way to lose as we are just now. As it is he is the assistant head coach and one of the very few that can turn this about. At least Hutchy is saying something on a day that all social media has gone silent. I'm sure he has no wish to be where we are. Not sure why the radio silence. Here is a chance to reach out to fans if handled well but no. It's like close season has started early. It's clear change is needed. I'm not sure on what scale but what is screamingly obvious is the lack of communication and relationship with fans could not be worse. The recent announcement- was it even an announcement? of a fans meeting with the directors is just another example. Silence. Is it even happening? Frustration doesn't even begin to cover it. No reason why a well run Flyers couldn't be pushing hard in this league and adding to the many banners in a very proud rink. Ali McLaren has Tweeted half an hour ago that there will be a fans meeting with the directors in February. Just getting venue and suitable date sorted. To be announced on Flyers Twitter feed. Would be better if all media outlets including this Forum be utilised. Having said that, at least there is some progress on the fans meeting front.

Not wanting to be all doom and gloom, but what will a fans meeting achieve. ?

One thing that seems to be apparent in this team is the lack of pace. In previous years we seemed to have at least some skaters who could beat opposition players to the puck... there seems to be a distinct lack of speed this year. Todd back in the day had electrifying pace... but it seems to have been forgotten about this season. Not sure if it is an age thing... but our youngest forwards (Gauthier and Cazzola) are 28... no one with the hunger to prove themselves... throw themselves around... plus 3 of them havent had a break after playing in Australia all last summer!! Anyway just a thought!! Are you actually saying Goat & Caz don’t pull their weight? Those two are the ones who put 200% in each shift! I’ve seen many a bad pass to Goat and he was waiting at the net to chip one in! Only guys I’d keep are those two and Carlo! Rest can GTF! Chase needs to go home, Morrison night aswell have try my 5 hole on his shirt! And the rest are p*sh! And Todd has effected Goats natural game, he’s not letting him drop the gloves and it’s a tough game Danicks used too! Clan are after goat I hear.....our loss their gain!! Just like Bloods with Coventry!!!

Cheers Andi. Just had a look at Ali's tweets. Not sure it takes a week to get this far in the organisation of it but very welcome that it will be held.
Wee Tam asks the big question here. If nothing is conceded by the owners and changes agreed then there is no point in this meeting. Only Ali is speaking so far. Encouraged by this part of his tweet; -
"However if there's to be any point to this and any progress, I also hope we'll have a discussion on moving forward."
No change = no point. I think in fairness they will be worried that this becomes greetin' meetin'. For it to really work all negativity needs to be left at the door and that's not just from the fans.

Just like Bloods with Coventry!!! Ehhhh no... i didnt say that at all!! I think everyone who is a fan will recognise the value of these 2!!! It was an observation that those 2 are our youngest import forwards... usually we have a couple of early 20 year olds who are hungry and wanting to make a name for themselves... the guys we have this year don't need to prove anything...

Why isnt he sharing this on the flyers official social media? You'd think sharing in there wud be the best thing as it is showing the club is been more open with its fans, or is this a attempt to get himself more followers

There is no reason I can think of why this should be on somebody's personal Twitter account and not the club Twitter / Facebook account other than they are waiting until there is concrete arrangements in place.
