Agree with a lot of what you’re saying Waterboy, particularly sad to hear that about the ex-players paying full amount to watch, so much potential in the club it’s easy to understand everyone’s frustration, just have to hope someone is listening or a positive change/additions will come. didn't you see chic Cottrell's post on FB club should be ashamed of it's self No got fb, what did he say

I put almost 40 years into motorsport locally and had to pay to watch when not racing DURING all of those seasons not just after retirement so Chicks predicament is not confined to Ice Hockey. I think i feel the same as a lot of others on this forum.........FRUSTRATION. I also find it incomprehensible that the fix for this club is so obvious it's untrue but unfortunately i cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel until the MA BAA scenario changes.

I agree it's no right they pay but problem is drawing the line who pays and who doesn't, most them turn up with ex player pals, it's hard to say to 1 in you go you're a legend, and to his pal you weren't that special you pay.

Perhaps Fife should have an alumni type club, for explayers who are rightly considered legends and not just ex players. Players like Steven King, Dutes, Chick Cottrell, Gogs Latto, who have all spent a good career with Fife there only British club and helped out as Chick has with juniors. Part of this membership would be free entry for life.

What would their pay be compared to hours worked / travelled, lost time with their families, spent time in dentists / hospitals etc etc, I don't think it would be too much to ask or expect a free ticket because most people involved with a sport for that length of time tend to keep away anyway as it is not great to spectate at a sport you have participated in and given the best years of your life for.

Read more: flyersforum.co.uk/thread/2157/planning-2017-2018?page=8#ixzz4ZM7Xd7XPUsed to travel to work with a Flyers player from years ago and he refused to go to Flyers games because he had to pay to get in.The amount of shifts that he missed due to travelling to away games and not getting back till early Monday morning,and missing work due to injuries that he picked up while playing for the Flyers,meant nothing to the owners.Flyers werent Gogs Lattos only British club ,as he also played for Dundee !!!!

Why not just let all ex players in for free, it's not like we're struggling to fit everyone in.

I suppose you could let anyone whose played a certain amount of games in for free or guys like Chic who was a really good coach and contributed a lot of time to the junior development. It'd be pointless letting folk in for free that iced 5 times during the SNL

That's the least of our problems anyway Anyone else see Dave Simms tweet after yesterday's board meeting. Sounds like bad news is on the way. No idea what it is but I am really starting to fear we are dropping out the Elite. Hope I'm totally wrong
