I was on the main website this morning and nothing about him leaving or anything not a jot wtf Just went of the main website and it has the dingle story and most of the other news that has been on Facebook. The guy that does the website can only put up what he's given.

Really disappointed that Dingle has moved on. It was always expected that Owen would leave but I was hopeful Dingle would stay. He was the only potential returning player that would have excited me. I would be fairly happy if Brooks, Schaber, Moyer or Stockton return but it is not the same. I do understand why Coventry is an attractive move for him. Danny Stewart will sign big, physical players to protect his star players. Coventry will start as favourites in their conference and will be likely to qualify for the play-offs. We are at best second favourites to win our conference and will find it harder than ever to make the play-offs with the addition of Milton Keynes and Guildford to the league. I suppose we have just got to wish Ryan well and hope he doesn't score too many against us.

Thats the bit that gets me we have a good budget its more about how we spend it and style of guys we bring in that fails everytime.
We could so easily have a very competitive team on the ice.

Really! Up to a maximum of 2 non British players but only 1 in season 17/18. Job spec : must be able to ice for 60 minutes per game!

If they really don't want to be in the Elite they should have been honest and pulled out.
If we are only in the league to make up the numbers the same poor coach will suffice as we are not realistically trying to win anything.
Shame for the fans though

Which would be pretty much what imports did back in the Premier league days. What do we hear from Todd and Tam its about local players playing and there are too many imports. Over the decades they have dropped back to low import numbers a few times in the hope that they can create a more sustainable league long term. Before the BNL we had the Northern Premier league. 3 imports one the player coach one who lived here anyway. Cheap team to put on the ice!! Tam's dream is local guys not getting much off a wage and paying a few imports a full wage with a full house every saturday night watching hockey. He still lives in the 80's/90's when thats exactly what they had. Flyers winning British Championships with 3 imports and a dozen or so local lads. No restrictions on how many you had in the crowd or how many you actually claim were there. On the flip side he might bank roll another import or 2 to play with the kestrels in the SNL and use it a a proper feeder/development league to prepare his local guys for the elite team!!

Craig Peacock returns for the second year of his contract to the Clan (bit of a strange announcement) But he has signed an extension for a 3rd year.
Seems odd to me as he didnt exactly set the place alight last season and he now has a new 2 year deal in his back pocket, all before the new coach is announced.
