Daft thing is with Rovers relegated the chance is there with the right team and pr to get punters that might not want to watch the lower end football teams. Look at the positivity coming out of Raith though new manager bold steps by board to stay mostly full time triple signings, v Flyers pr very poor no real news or direction as others have said. Know where my 16 quid would be going if I wasn't sure. I hope flyers do get it together as Todd hinted and prove us all wrong. But time is running out and I fear some fans will be lost for the short term at the very least.

Fans are already lost sadly. Crowds are dropping, and all down to lack of vision and common sense. Beyond frustrating

Well even the coach acknowledged the need to do things different and the bums on seats speak for themselves if less people are going something is wrong. Even the most optimistic fan can see how things could be improved with minimal effort all over the product as a whole. If we are a mid table team competing for the cups and conference then the least we should expect from those who want our cash is a similar pr/experience etc as the teams around us, surely? Also transparency would put an end to the Tom Muir hating that goes on. A wee insight to running the team, the actual example of costs, signing problems etc doesn't have to be constant, just not this closed shop we have the now.

Am i alone in thinking the lack of news, treating the fans with contempt is being done on purpose so fan numbers drop so the owners can turn around and say "we cant afford to compete" as an excuse to leave the league

We have a verbal agreement for a returning player after all our best players have officially left, and also according to Todd it's been a slow season off recruiting for every team in the elite league, he's obviously not checked other teams rosters... for **** sake Todd come on eh!

With that last bit off statement he makes himself out to be so stupid does he think flyers fans don't know what other teams are doing

Dundee have said the same on the press release about fullerton. They have the lowest budget they have ever had and only wanting single players and that a lot of players don't want to commit yet. I ain't all that worried to be honest, would much rather wait and get decent players rather than just panic buy. Would reckon it'll be fox as the returning player. I would be happy enough with for if he gives 100%. Which I think he will if we get a couple of guys willing to drop the gloves. We will see the more agitator player that fox can be

If Fox comes back all that signals is Todd has zero intention of stamping out the drinking culture and running a pro team professionally

It's Stockton, not fox. Hope that knee is 100% and he comes in better shape then he was last season.
I am really worried that the words really out on the flyers and how they are ran and how things are going the last couple seasons. Not too mention any prospective player looking at the social media accounts would be scared away with how some fans express themselves.
Going to have a tough time putting together a decent team, might have an "enforcer" but a non playoff team, and I think I would rather see us make the playoffs and compete then watch a few extra fights and pay to watch guys out of North American college with no experience. Hopefully we get lucky in the goalie department like we have in the past.

Stockton Fox or Moyer, My money is on Fox.
Although I really hope it isn't that would be just trolling the fanbase.
I really tried to be positive in watching this latest video, but a few things made me cringe. Todd moaning about being the only guy giving updates??? Your the Head coach mate who the hell should do it if not you. Second one talking about other clubs issues with recruitment Steelers are 2 away from being finished Panthers have 16 signed up Coventry 13. Dundee who started the same day as us have 10. Trying to justify our terrible start to recruiting by saying its the same for all teams just comes across as making poor excuses.
Then it's "we may have under performed in our conference" and to suggest that players would regret leaving and them moving on shows how good our team were last season??? There is no maybe about it last season was poor. Our best players Owen Dingle and Brooks have all gone, 2 still in the league. Outside of Owen its because this club badly mismanaged its PR and strategy since the season ended. Some of Todd's comments seem to suggest this has badly affected our recruitment which would be no surprise as players looking in would wonder how stable the club is given some of the statements made since the season finished.
Players cant wait around until Fife decide they are ready to get the finger out that might work on young local lads its not going to end well with experienced pro's with families to look after.
The dig at the start about how he is sitting or what he is wearing just proves (again) he is very aware of what is said about him on social media by the fans, here is a little advice Todd, Don't do interviews announcing different players and make out they are weeks apart when its clear its been filmed at the same time. Second don't make these daft comments about stuff like this on future interviews or if you do the club shouldn't be letting it go out. It comes across as childish and petty, our fans are not daft and making silly little digs like that simply isn't necessary.
