Lets be honest here,its just another clique within the flyers fans. One of a number of cliques who look down at you as if they have some authority within the flyers organisation. That's exactly what it felt like when we joined and certainly wasn't what we expected(naive on our part in know lol) and out of all my mates that joined last season not one has rejoined this year. That probably won't bother them as I'm sure they'll still get lots more joining after the fee publicly the club just gave them.

I use the travel club quite alot for the out of scotland games and ive never had a problem. My only gripe is maybe the fife flyers could do more stuff like race nights and dine with the flyers etc..

The old supporters club was good for nights out and if the travel club did more I'd probably join but as Lynn said on Facebook they were poorly attended towards the end and that's one of the reasons they changed to a travel club. I'm not overly fussed about joining the travel club as we don't get to many games outside Scotland but when we do we normally go for a couple of days so just book everything ourselves.

And your not on any member List I can see So are you calling me a liar as I can assure I was a member as was my wife. or do you just take people's money stick it in your pocket and not actually register them.

Come on buddy answer the questions. Are you calling me a liar? And if you are have access to the members lists and I'm not on it (oh and it will be William Christie) does that mean one of you lot just pocketed my cash?

Bill - Can i ask who the people were that upset you in the group There were three or four and at least one of them is or was a comity member I believe but I done know her name. As we only went for a short time and gave up due to hers and others behaviour didn't really know who most of the organisers were other than Jim as he was the one that signed us up. I'm not on a witch hunt and hope the group has every success but unless you moderate the behaviour of some of them and break down the cliquey appearance it felt like it had to some of us I think you'll struggle to grow. And like most people if I had to choose between the club and a supporters group I'll choose the club every time.

I only joined the old supporters club to get the Scarf tbh lol The way it came across to me was that the Flyers took control of the old supporters club to make it an official Fife Flyers property, old club members still wanted to be in control of a supporters group and both have spat the dummy at each other, Flyers dont want anyone stepping on their toes and old club still want to do their own thing. If they are trying to get money out of businesses by kidding on they are the official club then shame on them, if they are saying they are unofficial and clearly stating this then they are entitled to their own fund raising tactics are they not? I Personally never attended any meetings or events when I was a member but think it was a good idea for raising funds for the Flyers, and the official club should look at organising a few events over the year
