is there no a webmaster to put news out like We just like making ourselves out as disorganised. Todd says this time gap makes him look more professional in his approach to signings. I don't.

Tick Tock not much of tomorrow left Fife Free Press tomorrow? maybe!! Todd has been on the Forum and seen all the negative comments Right they can go a few weeks with no news for that........... Geez the Caps have overtaken us on signing news now I was hoping for a pod cast from Murdoch& Frame but it would be very short......... The Clan Podcast was decent they have signed a good Brit Core with Davies yet to make up his mind I think we will see Clan play 4 lines against Gardiner opposition this coming season Jeezo give the Todd bashing a break, Kirsty is on holidays, there will be no releases till she gets back Not bashing Todd just looking for more news on the team we are assembling

If it is Kirsty who's doing them now and she's away I'd rather wait for her to come back than go back to what we had before. People have been crying out for professionalism so what's the problem? We all know we're going to have a full team, including a full import quota before the season starts- I really don't get why people get quite so uptight about when we see the names. It's not like 10-15 years ago when we had 6/7 players signed a week before the season started.

I don't like the drip feedy stuff that Flyers have subjected us to over the last few seasons. What a waste of time and effort. If or when we have signed someone just tell us, it seems sometimes there's more effort and planning going into when we announce signings than anything else.

That's how it feels with us as far as signings go!

It's about business acumen, the Treat Em Mean Keep Em Keen (Fife Way) isn't the best way to PROMOTE your business by any manner of means.

Hmmmm an odd one couldnt care less when announcements are made as long as the players at the end of the day are good ones. Am kind of over the "are we there yet " stage . Can see how it might effect sponsorship tho.

You would think so ...but sure I read ...was it here?.. no matter ...that a bucket load of season tickets sold so far and the nos increasing each year. Dont get it personally ...also it seems to me rightly or wrongly the fan base is pretty solid here and the crowds seem to turn up at the start of the season before theyve seen players to judge them properly. (Also it amazes me how peeps can judge a signing good bad or indifferent before they see a player step onto any ice!) Now thats loyalty or stupidity depending on which side of the fence you fall off.

(Also it amazes me how peeps can judge a signing good bad or indifferent before they see a player step onto any ice!) Now thats loyalty or stupidity depending on which side of the fence you fall off. 700 season tickets sold so far is the number I saw, now that sounds good and is being pushed as a rise. However considering the club don't publish sales and haven't for any other season we don't really see if its good bad or whatever. The Clan sold 1400 last season and have sold over 1500 so far this off season, easy to see the improvement they are making. Fife would give the CIA a run for their money for keeping info a secret. Folk giving opinions on players will always happen and with the interweb and videos of guys readily available its not hard to form a fairly sound opinion of the guys coming in. Take the Storm new guy loads of Youtube clips with him fighting, a quick search you see he was up for the AHL community service award 6 times with 6 different clubs winning it with the Syracuse Crunch in 13/14. You can start to see the measure of the man. He is being put forward as a franchise (Adam Keefe Style) guy. Its a very clever signing and Neil Russell is very open about using the giants model to bring fans/money through the door. It certainly worked for them. You can see the opportunities we are missing as a club to generate higher income.

"Folk giving opinions on players will always happen and with the interweb and videos of guys readily available its not hard to form a fairly sound opinion of the guys coming in." Ha ha prob with forming an opinion on that basis is they are nearly always "highlights" or fights Which dont show what theyre like consistantly. Think I ll continue to judge on what I see and form an opinion then.

My point is that these days more than ever you can see a lot more of what new players can do so having early opinions on them isn't a bad thing. Its all part of the fun of the off season!
