It's fine guys, we're saved... Matt Elder has tweeted that he spent time with Danny and Todd and noones feeling it more than them so that's ok. Bet he never asked if they're considering packing it in before we become even more of a laughing stock

I hate to say it but 'withdrawing your patronage' looks like the only way to force change..hard cash matters and the organisation simply could not run without the fans money. If some are happy with the status quo then thats there perogative. I suggest that those of us who arent happy stay away for a few weeks (even ST holders) and then the mgt cant hide behind poor decisions and less than mediocrity. If they bring in a new coach they should allow them to cut a few off the roster too cos there is an issue with some players as well as coach.

It's obvious that the Management of the club cannot grasp where the fans are coming from, they do not understand that fans can be extremely knowledgeable of the game, they obviously do not comprehend the cost of a family attending games at FIA and the value for money they expect, many families will find Ice Hockey is the 4th biggest drain on their finances behind the roof over their head,food,and transport and to an average family there will be loose change left in their pockets after that SO THE OPINIONS OF THESE PEOPLE DO COUNT, maybe Todd and Danny too should take the comments on this forum in because unlike them Hockey is not a paid jolly for the Flyers Faithfull.

It's evident the club will do nothing about it. Dutes' ego is ridiculous. On Sunday it's the players being immature and doing their own thing that cost them the game (what about the 5 losses before it big man?). In the FFP he's now taken the route of "when the team wins the players are great. When the team loses the coach is the most hated man". Do you not hear what's been said for the past 4 years. We've been questioning your coaching position the entire time pal. The Flyers Promo is an immature and ridiculous response to the fans backlash on the team but what do you expect from the club? The mentality is always to same, screw the fans we'll do what we want. Tam and Jack have given Danny and Dutes (Danny is just as much to blame as Dutes is in this) plenty time. If they don't get the team back up the table then we'll be lucky to get more than 1300 fans a night in by Xmas. I'm not spending anymore money on the team until they show me they deserve it.

Definitely a dig at the fans, all that promo has done is split the fanbase further, and further alienated those fans who have rightly criticised the club, re the coaching staff. I would like some kind of explanation from a club official as to why they have sanctioned the release of such an ill-judged video. Highly unlikely anyone will though.

Perhaps its just me in the middle of a bad week at work but I think that's a very poor promo video. Highlighting the words "HATRED CONTINUES" just smacks of sticking two fingers up to the fans that are not happy. Maybe I'm reading waayy to much into that but its how it looks to me. Does nothing to excite or inspire me to go to the game, again perhaps that's down to the general feeling of watching c*** hockey and seeing a coach out of his depth for far to long. Would have liked the club to release a statement regarding the current position of the coaching staff. Hell maybe even acknowledge that fans are not happy. But then I remember its the Flyers and they don't work like that. OK I admit it I'm crabbit! your interpretation of that video is the risk of that video during the current state the club is in. I genuinely believe the hatred bit is about us and clan, it is a promo for the clan game this weekend after-all. that said, still not going......i think. just checked, flyers v clan, wild v jets or flames v rangers mmmmmm??

The problem right now is not just Dutes and Danny it's the club as a whole, I honestly think they should just clear house and start from fresh new coaching team, new off ice staff new announcer not a DJ for primary school discos start to act like a professional club and they may be taken seriously, right now we are a team that goes on about its history because they have achieved nothing meaningful since the BNL

I was not impressed with watching Flyers for most of the last two seasons. Barring a miraculous run of results 21 month ago we would have had nothing positive in recent seasons. I have decided until real changes take place to not go. It is the only way to force change.

Yeah maybe your right but it's not just an opinion that I have had as others seem to think something similar ( again not saying that's how it was meant but that's how it comes across). There really isn't any hatred towards the clan that I can see, last season with fitzy and Frank yeah no question but there is nothing like that this season with them. That's my take on it.

That's my take on it. yeah totally agree, I'm sure plenty people got that impression, it's not that it's wrongly interpretted but maybe (only maybe) it's not intended to be that. And yeah, I actually feel the rivalry is less hatred and more we're the David to their Goliath, as Clan improve their staff, their style and demonstrate their superiority to us in every sense, i'll definitely be getting my moneys worth out of GameCentre this season

I don't doubt for one minute it is aimed at the fans, when you look at all the other videos it shows Scoon scoring a goal, no doubt that was aimed at the fans after stating the obvious that he is nowhere near the level required for the EIHL, even the coaches acknowledge that with the amount of ice-time he gets. The club see fans as the enemy and not as absolute fans who are hurting for the club and who's ambitions are obviously greater than said club ........ a massive clearout is required to get rid of the Them & US attatude and let the club thrive again.
