I wanted to support our local paper but gave up buying the FFP because of their bland reports and lack of challenging questions of the club. Perhaps they have a commercial relationship to protect but, like the match night experience, I can't see the appeal going much beyond the diehard fans that will but it regardless.

fife free press is a lot of wind and pee. mattew elder asks for fans opinions but either doesnt ask or wont print the questions direct to todd. reports are as biased as the clubs press releases

The FFP has been poor for ages. I don't know the last time that the Sports Editor asked a probing question. As for the editor, he has strutted about the rink for as long as I can remember. Can't see either of these two rocking the boat by actually asking tough questions of the coaching or playing staff. And as for their pun filled headlines.....

The fife free press team have always been to busy trying to see what freeloading they can do and not just from flyers or any other sports team in the Kingdom. There is no way that they will upset the apple cart by giving uncomfortable questions, I gave up on reading the regurgitated flyers clap trap a long time ago

Elder is clueless on hockey. Crow is. Well just a craw after what he can get for nothing. Remember when we dropped out of the bnl. He wanted nothing to do with flyers. Bummed up the rovers and slagged the flyers at every opportunity. Then fife join the elite league and he is back like a fly over poo poo. That man is a tube. His paper is a joke. They are so far up each others bahooties it's not even funny

You can ask the hard questions in a respectful manner though. It's not hard

"When are hockey clubs (plural) going to stop using phrases such as 'upper body injury' on player injury updates - it's meaningless nonsense." Tweeted by Alan Crow.
This is so obvious that he knows nothing about the game. Why would a club announce exactly where a player is injured? Just so the next game the team targets exactly that place? It's surely common sense.

I just questioned him over that tweet. So so out of touch!

UNTIL we were in the npl and celtic league. Then he done nothing but slate flyers and bum up the rovers. Can't stand the man. He is as pathetic as his paper

I don't think it should be a hard question to ask the coaching staff how they feel they have done so far and where their plans are for the future or even why the British contingent has not altered / progressed during their watch without causing them offence, leading on from there i would not see it beyond reason to ask why they feel they are the right people to take the club to the top end of the table, keep them there and not scramble for 8th spot every year. If Flyers were a football club reporters would have asked those questions many many moons ago, in the Manchester United managers case even put pressure on using their influence to get him sacked, that's what they do ...... If there ain't a story create one, anything to sell their rag.

If there ain't a story create one, anything to sell their rag. And then the natural progression is onto the directors with the same questions about the future and how they see the Flyers progressing, businessmen usually have 5 year plans- how has their plan fitted in with reality as this is now our 5th year and what do they want from the next 5 and also their opinion as to why the coaches are the right people for the job. What direction do they want the league to take and what are they doing to make sure that comes about in the best way for our club. There are stories there but they need to ask the right questions and not give easy outs
