Heard that Clan are struggling to pay bills and that the ice may get taken up to save paying for the plant to be on. Scottish hockey in the Elite would appear to be on a shaky peg. Went to the game my first watching flyers in Braehead. All I can say is it was not enjoyable as much because of a section of the flyers 'fans' behind us as the poor hockey. They were more interested in shouting every obscenity at Toby than even attempting to clap any good play good defensive play, and took every opportunity to personally insult our players. Constantly shouted shoot when it's simply not that easy at this level. It reminded more of a toxic football crowd. Not much fun all round, and I know some will blame the coaches or owners for creating this, but we pride ourselves in being a family sport and being proper hockey fans, I won't be going back it totally ruined my night. They clearly knew very little about hockey. Too much drinking on an empty head.

Maybe we need more football mentality. Football coaches get binned after a poor run of games when the fans turn. In hockey especially at Kirkcaldy poor coaches get promoted to General Manager.

I agree the flyers are poor and were poor for whatever reason last night and for most of season. But if this is what has become of being a fan and folk can only shout when it concerns the c*** referees which they were, and mistakes including by young Cochrane, and poor play which there was, but do not clap at all at anything good which there was, and that involves screeching and swearing at every opportunity to the extent that the rows in front were talking about it wondering what was going in, then it's a poor show and poor behaviour regardless. Btw I also agree the coaches need to go, that the owners run this really badly. And yes there should be protests banners maybe but likes of Reece who folk on here defend a lot do not try to make mistakes, try to not score, and do not always deserve getting personally insulted for it.

[/quote Re Reece Cochrane - I very much doubt that any insults would be directed at him. Fans see him as a local boy who tries his heart out and who is benched with one error while the well paid imports are free to make as many mistakes as they like without consequences.

Well I've said my bit, hopefully folk can find something else to spend their money on if attending the flyers makes them so unhappy, I know I would. I really like hockey that's what I'm there for, but I again totally agree that our owners have allowed a situation to arise where fans are staying away, hockey is poor, match night has got better, but overall it's not working, we might scrape play offs but really it should be better. And the coaches recruit poorly most seasons, no physical play, no aggression or bite too much offensive minded players. Hopefully for all our sakes something changes but that flyers stay in elite and get out the race to the bottom it's become over last 3 seasons.

Clan have no home games for three weeks and it’s rumoured it will cost £17k to keep the ice plant running during that period due to the increased energy costs. Makes sense to train elsewhere whist they are playing on the road and reduce costs while they have no gate income.

No idea about fife. But it’s clear that the rising costs are a big problem

The only decent recruitment we have had since we entered the league was when Danny Stewart was there.if he had been given the head coaches job we would have been a lot more competitive
