I think there's as much admiration for their on ice stuff. Yeah they're professional too but I'd rather poke my own eyes out wi needles than sit in amongst the Purple Army, or fawn over Neil Black and his obnoxious off springs. Not saying we do, but they've no class whatsoever and not an outfit I'm jealous off to be honest and I think I've made my feelings clear regarding the way the Flyers operate recently. Better get used to it. Once they actually start winning things regularly I'm sure there will be an exodus from Fife to the west coast. There's a certain type of Fife mentality that can't help themselves. The convoy of buses leaving Fife on a Saturday to go watch scummy, west coast football teams is testament to that. I think that this idea is crazy and I don't ever see an exodus from Fife to the west coast for hockey reasons. You can't compare football and hockey. Even if there were a handful of Fifers that wanted to go and watch Braehead Clan, they'd need to wait till we moved into our new 9000 capacity arena so as to be guaranteed to get in as we're outgrowing Braehead Arena and selling out more often than not.

Aye, nae bother chief. Braehead are gonna move into a 9000 capacity arena and at the same time, become the biggest Arena team with a bigger capacity than the NIC. Please, enlighten us as to who is funding this? Clan fans are on drugs. Why not just move into the SSE Hydro? Or are you too big for that aswell?
You'll get a new arena/rink but it won't hold more than 5000.

That makes the way TM treats Flyers fans all the worse. He has a very loyal, sizeable, knowledgable fan base, which he treats with utter contempt. The Flyers support deserves a Clan like off ice level of professionalism, not the debacle we currently have. Fife fans aren't as knowledgable as they think. The things I hear in the stands sometimes makes me cringe.

Hainesy works on fitness throughout the summer at the gym he works at and Dingle I'm sure was a Sports Science and Fitness major at UoD. Did Haines look out of shape at all last year aside from when he was injured?

No he never has but it's a bit premature to be assuming we're going to be a lot fitter this year because of 2 signings. I absolutely hope you're right because the fitness of the team last year was nothing short of a disgrace. Let's look at Nickerson, I'm sure people here will follow him on twitter, he looks half the size this summer than he was for his 2 years at Fife, because he's signed for a pro outfit who have told him to come in in shape, now the blame has to lie with him also but it shows that they're prepared to let guys come in and stay overweight and unfit, anyway I hope you're right but I can't see it changing too much.

Guys
I think that you have mistaken my post for arrogance when it is actually FACT and if you bother to do your homework then you will realise that the Braehead Clan ARE INDEED moving to a 9000 seater arena with corporate boxes and all.
The new arena will be bigger than the NIC and be built near where Soar/Xscape is if you happen to know the area.
A 5000 arena may be more to our liking atmosphere and sell out wise however they want to build a monster and that is what will happen.
Perhaps SparkyMark who is a regular on Clan fans forums can back up my statement as fact?
Once again this is not arrogance

As a flyers fan living in Glasgow. I can back your statement up. Although I was under the impression it was an 8000 seater not 9 but there is definitely a new arena being built.
