his justification is simple.
His 3 best buddies never got asked back.
The giant bearded goon.
The coventry bound hotdog
And the makeshift finn
The guys very bitter by the looks of thing.
Bahbahbahbahbah
Totally incorrect.
The reasons I say it is a cheap side is simple.
Same Brits every year bar one.....and some which are not good enough for this league. Simple.
As a 'pro' organisation Fife Flyers should be looking to compete as best they can. Do they do that??
Are you really trying to tell me that any import or Player not brought back in any year since we joined the league is worse than certain Brits we have??
Every other team in league has full time Brits bar us. Surely as pro team we should be getting the best players we can in??
Coaching........any other manager in any sport or normal job would have been punted. Players are seen put at Bogarts till all ours......get away with murder and then go elsewhere and work their asses off. Who allows that to happen??
When Romanian came to town at the end of the season, their coach Kjell never stopped talking to the whole team. He was always on them, encouraging, comments and talking through plays. Not just standing there hands in pockets.
Next point......marketing. Simple. Its shocking.
No contact with fans except to sell season tickers. Then week before deadline we announce Scoonie?? Seriously??
Surely to sell more tickets ye announce yer big players. For example.....
Blaze win play offs. Following day announce Stewart signs back again!
Merchandise.......its ok at best. Quality is ok but could be soooooo much better. There are companies that have offered but because they want a percentage of takings its a no go. Surely if the quality is better ye sell more and therefore can afford to do it.
Printit stitch i think do great things. So do our friends at the shopping centre and Storm. They use them for their stuff.
Website. The face of the club pre season is the website. Ours should be ran hosted by professionalsend of story.
Facebook and twitter is poor. Imagine calling out people that they want to get in touch about paying their season tickets.
That is a private business transaction and should not be on facebook. No other club in any league anywhere would do that. Ye contact by phone or email.
We had a competition to meet yer favourite players when we only had 2 signed.
Then the poster with the F bomb in it. Simple amatuer errors that look bad on the pro organisation
FlyersTV - Was brutal last year. Luckily Ross is back and it will improve now. Look at other teams Channels outputs. Players actually refused last year due to the negative questions.
I also know a good friend of mine who works in the media for a mutli billion pound organisation (in a similar line of work) offered to help for free and was told no. Apparantly they were currently speaking to local colleges!
Also someone close to the forum I believe (i may be wrong) offered to design and run a Flyers App and was told no!!
Then no enforcer......so 9 clubs are wrong and we have it right???
And so I move to your comment. Am i disappointed Ned n Niko are not here??
Off course.
Am I bitter about it?? Absolutely not. Players come and players go.
Niko is having a great time so far in Budapest and Ned imo will do well at Blaze.
My reasons for saying cheap are clear. Read above.
Do I hope flyers do well this season?? I hope they go out there and prove me and A LOT of others wrong. If they do I will be the 1st to say I called it wrong.
Do I think it will happen? Honestly no.
I am prefectably comfortable in my views on flyers and have no issue discussing them with anyone.
To say I am basically in the huff cause 2 of my mates are not back is hilarious.
If people are happy with how the club is run then great. I am not and I am not gonna hide from it just because I might upset someone. This is a forum. People are entitled to their veiws.
I look forward to your reply or better discussing over a beer at curlers!!
