I've pulled the trigger so to speak. I'm off to watch the braehead Nottingham game tonight. Refuse to give money to the flyers until progress and changes have been made. Hate watching my team get bullied every game. Hopefully Big Ern will deliver some karma Rosehills way 👍🏻 Wow, I went as far as only watching the webcast rather than go to Dundee, you must be hurting if you think McGrattan is any kind of draw in hockey.

Don't you just hate it when people announce on social media that they are leaving something? If you want to go support Nottingham, cheerio, you won't be missed, but when you flounce off don't expect everyone to tell you not to do it. Clearly just looking for attention! He never once said he was going to support Nottingham he said he was going to watch Big Ern to be entertained because watching the flyers you're not getting your money's worth, can't argue with that and the other 500 odd that have stopped coming this year so far Thank you mate, someone who understands. Game wasn't the best, Nottingham are terrible from what I seen. Rosehill dished out a dirty hit at the start of the game. Had to answer the call from Big Ern almost immediately. Amazing to witness McGrattan doing his job in the flesh.

Also, I wasn't the only flyers fan at the game. Couple more sitting behind me.

If McGratton came to Fife the rink would sell out every weekend. Why? I saw him fight Colton Orr at MSG when he was at his peak. Good fight but I managed to get over the excitement after a second or two.

If you remember when Nicker was here the rink was 2/3 full, you can argue a guy like McGrattan would generate more fans through the gate. Then let's just say flyers play with the confidence of having the toughest guy in the league on their team, start winning more and before you know that rink would be full every weekend. Just my opinion obviously but I'm usually right 👍🏻

Amazing to witness McGrattan doing his job in the flesh. Actually he said he refused to give money to the flyers. - strange comment given the match was in Dundee! I'm sure the Nottingham fans would've also been watching in amazement when "Big Ern" was doing his job - even though they got stuffed! im not sure how many flyers games you have actually attended this season? While we do need to add more physicality to the line up, we certainly don't get bullied every week!!

Surely there is something more interesting to put on this forum rather than a Flyers fan going to watch a game at the shopping centre. How about discussing the news that Stocks is out of action for a lengthy period.

The auld barn is a tardis. You can't sell it out! You can't these days, After the games against Braehead a few seasons back first conference year If I remember right. That night the place was packed as in way to many people in to allow safe exit if something went wrong. It was visited by Fire Chief's and local council HSE etc. Lets just say the warning the owners got forced changes. That is the main reason why games now are selected seating and limited numbers standing these days. Edit: Just read Swarfiga's post properly. Yup same game.

If McGratton came to Fife the rink would sell out every weekend. Bet it wouldn't It wouldnt be a sell out, but there would be a hell of a lot more people in the rink. You could see the effect Nickerson had on crowd numbers so McGratton one of the games notorious enforcers would be a huge draw. I also voted with my feet this weekend. And it sounds like the usual pattern is starting again. Couple of results against Dundee and all is good again. This is how Todd has managed to hold on to his job for so long. From what i've heard Flyers were terrible on the Saturday so I really dont see what has changed despite getting 4 points this weekend.
