Just watched some off Brodie dupont good size and isn't afraid to drop the gloves to protect his team mates That he is, but he won't be a flyers player, the budget this year is lower than last year's.

How do you know this? I'm pretty sure the only people who will know the Flyers budget will be Tam, Jack, Dutes and Jeff.

A few have apparently pulled their money. Just rumours but heard it more than once that a few got fed up with how the club is run.

Flyers budget is set on previous years attendances, plus projected income from sponsors, Obviously crowds well down last year, so directors reduce budget accordingly, We have pretty decent sponsors by one of the best sponsor managers in the business, but even then the number of businesses in Fife with spare money is a finite number.

It all comes back to the same thing, put a entertaining product on the ice! More crowds, bigger budgets, more money, more chance of success, Tam.... nobody wants to watch your best player get bullied off the ice and half the team playing hungover!!

My apologies Waterboy, but I totally forgot about the Great8 and their sponsorship, as I heard towards the end of last season a couple were not returning either. One of them has been very supportive of the Flyers for a number of years and I know they are definitely not sponsoring the Flyers anymore. What you have posted is exactly what I heard as well about how they run the club. I do now wonder how Tam will go about setting a budget if some of the main sponsors do not return?

Apparently Stockton & Fox will be back, bit of a gamble on Stockton but deserves a fair crack at it IMO. As for Fox I really hope it's untrue as the guy was here for a holiday I think! So unfit for someone who is supposed to be a professional athlete.

So unfit for someone who is supposed to be a professional athlete. Stockton yes, if he changes his ways. I believe he was a fully paid member of the Sisca/Fox School of Drinking before he left at Christmas.

If it was the Fox who started the season looking very fit and scoring then it would be a good signing, if its the unfit drinking to much one that finished the season then nah no thanks.
Would be surprised if we did bring him back. Said it already regards to Stockton its a huge risk following his injury.
