Two other small points to consider. Firstly a family (2 adults and 2 kids) game ticket at Edinburgh is £42, whereas it costs £50 for a family at Fife. Also the cost of housing in Edinburgh is much more expensive than Kirkcaldy. In general it is much cheaper to live in Kirkcaldy than probably any other Elite league town/city. So, much bigger crowds than Edinburgh, probably higher revenue per fan, and lower costs for housing players staff etc.

caps imports are living in kelty this year, but from other stuff going on in edinburgh it looks like scott neil has found a money tree this year. the brits are getting their wages covered to take time off work for the mid week games

Emmerson has a lot of good quality contacts in North America aswell so maybe that has something to do with it, you see at his camps etc there's always a couple NHL guys there that he's friends with. It was like Braehead and Drew Miller, nothing to do with money just down to Krestanovich being friends with his agents. He seems to be using his contacts well, in a strange way I want Edinburgh to be successful to an extent to bring back the old time rivalry, that was real.

I thought it was a good decision by the capitals regarding their coaching change. Riley seems to have recruited well and be respected in his homeland. Perhaps we will seek such wisdom one day?
Their fans deserve a better and more competitive team as they have suffered for too long at the bottom end. A good capitals makes for a more competitive league. If it is not working then sometimes change is necessary.

caps imports are living in kelty this year, ............... Apparantly they were only there for the first few weeks and are all now in Edinburgh. Something to do with a lack of suitable flats in Edinburgh at the end of the summer season

Emmerson has good contacts through his family, his father and brother I believe are scouts/agents. Add in his own contacts from playing up and down the leagues in N.A. and you start to see how he has recruited well.

Yeah totally agree, would be great for them to boost their fan numbers this year so more of them pack out FIA. There is a bit of hatred when it comes to the clan games, might just be that bloody drummer banging away nonstop that gets on peoples wicks!

Caps have the type of team I want to see, a feisty team that will drive the net with size and speed, and a defence that is big and tough as nails and will make you pay for going into there zone. And a solid if unspectacular keeper. In Fife we have none of that, we are just well....boring

39 games in the CHL last year 59 points, he could be very dangerous for them could be a very good signing

We absolutely horse a supposed decent team and the team still get slagged for being boring........

Can tell he was missed on Saturday. Won't be the same score line this weekend I don't think, caps playing really well at home.

Caps will have 2 more imports back in their line up for Sunday (Zanette and their new guy) we saw the difference being 2 imports down had on us on Sunday. We will be in for a very hard game from them.
