Why does this forum have so many negative attitudes on it when the vast majority of Flyers fans are 100percent behind the team and the coach who has assembled a decent squad again.
We have been riddled with injuries but we are still sitting up there in fifth position, and have arguably the best player in the League in Ryan Dingle so there no need for the non-stop moans and groans.
Our Brits are a dedicated bunch of local guys and deserve better than some of the remarks made by a handful of posters on this forum.
Supporters can play a huge part in the success or failure of a team so if we give it our best shot, then we might just help the Flyers to some silverware this season!

Bluebrazil You really need to take those rose tinted glasses off and realise that not all in the garden is rosie, the product can be improved massively starting from the match night experience up to the roster and above. Are Flyers the only team to be riddled with injuries..... I think not. The Brits at Fife have not been treated very fairly in my opinion but what chance have they got with Todd ( jobs for the boys ) attitude, other than his Golden Boy Scoon the rest have reasonable cause for complaint. You are correct on one point though, supporters have a huge part to play in the team because with none or very few of them the team would simply not exist. I think you fail to understand that people who come on this forum will in the main be die-hard and loyal long serving fans who wish the club to achieve more than the owners do who occasionally have gripes and feel free to do so.

Crowds have dropped are those staying away just doing so for no reason. Nice to see you have a positive outlook regarding the team however just because some myself included don't share that outlook that doesn't mean we are in anyway lesser supporters. I see a club ready and able to really push on but the way the club is run stops that from ever happening. Call it frustration call it what you will, moans groans etc but that is the reality. Imagine if we had recruited are more balanced import line up, physical players to match the style of the league and actually went for a few fulltime brits (don't care where they are from). This team and this season could easily be a in better place. As for the injuries I and others said it before the season started they will come and our over use of our imports and reluctance to sign fulltime brits will cause problems. PS: We can live without Ryan Dingle (yes I do know he is one of our best players) we are nowhere near Fifth place without Shane Owen.

Do Flyers miss Ryan when injured................... absolutely. Would they be foot of the table.....................No, Ryan has missed 25% of the games this season according to EIHL stats. Could Fife have been higher placed..................Definitely, Had they not had a D man playing centre, replaced Stockton with a J Pitton type player, possibly replaced Turon with a hard nosed defence man and signed Dolan.....those changes wouldn't have broken the bank but transformed the team.

I don't see it as negative attitudes in all fairness, this is really from frustration. Look, we are 5th, but, we could be so much better, there is NO reason we cannot win this league, and compete. The problem comes from lack of vision, and making some very basic changes, many which would drive very little financial input at all. We seem content to compete only for the conference, that to me is the least important trophy out there, if we win it, fair enough, if we don't, I couldn't care less. I'd far rather we went after the Play Offs, The EIHL Title or Challenge Cup, the Gardiner will always be seen as the weakest trophy of the lot.
Alas, since we lost Nickerson and Fulton, and Clan lost Fitz and Frank etc, I reckon I could count on 1 hand the number of games I have actually enjoyed, the hockey generally is poor, or at least, not very exciting.
We have some great players, as we always do on our roster, it's more the direction and system that we play that frustrates, and as Ronnie says, the Brits get a raw deal indeed.

Clan could NOT afford him... Not a single chance. The Owner has brought in McGratten and Williams for his other team, big winnings from Continental Cup

He still is on a contract so there is no chance he will be going anywhere this season other than the NHL/AHL. He hasn't cleared waivers as yet so its either another team or grand rapids.

Clan have signed Stefan Della Rovere which looks to be a very good pick up as the season gets to the pointy end.

Believe Fassa didn't make the play offs in the Alps league so yes there season is effectively over.
