I had to fast forward it just to see how long the first line stayed on the ice from the start of the game

Games against the Wasps were excellent. I remember one game when Durham brought 12 buses of fans with them.

Loved watching these games, one sticks in my mind more than the others and it was an early season game the year the Cooper brothers returned to Durham from Cardiff-1990. They had one hell of a team that year and the flyers spanked them 12-2! turned out that we got relegated that season which was one of the few seasons our imports were just were awful (not including Rick Fera - throwing chairs on the ice is never a good idea though)

Always remember that Gordon Goodsir goal and the line "Goodsir oh very good sir". Also great to hear the old Wembley tune for the goals.
One hell of a crowd at that time, it bugs me that we could have that now if things were done right.

Thanks for that video clip. I was at that game and remember it well. Nice to see Jack Dryburgh and Jim Mclean behind the bench. Recognise many face in the crowd too. Fond memories for sure.

Just watched Dutes interview from this week, part of it touched on Kirkcaldy/Fife area and crowd numbers etc.
Made me think about the fife area and the number of people that the flyers can target. Using 2014 numbers Fife has a population of just over 360,000.

We bring in 1% of that and FIA is sold out. We are currently sitting at less than half of that at recent games.

In the cat whiskers podcast this week a few of their guys were up for the games and spoke about how quiet FIA was despite us winning. A half filled arena, boring hockey and nothing to get folk excited has really killed the atmosphere.

When you watch these old clips and think back to even last season some of the games were great "Nickerson v Fitzgerald/Frank" we are badly missing that spark this season.

I was at this game. Think i was about 12. I'm actually in the footage at one point during a shot of the crowd, but saying nowt else as it's cringeworthy embarassing lol
