What needs to happen is get the import level down to 10 at most and bring on British players There's not enough British talent to fill 100 roster spots in the league, there would be far too much difference in quality between the imports and brits, even bigger a gulf than now. They should reduce it yes but over time 1 a year but cutting it to 10 now would completely dilute the quality of hockey we see, well maybe others fans see, not flyers fans this year anyway.

And plus if flyers are that bothered about it they could have put time into developing the next batch of elite brits and had a few in the team by now and go an import less if they really want, the league isn't forcing teams to run 14

It's no about local lads playing for their local team, it's about Tam Muir being tight

If Fife had took the plunge years ago in the super league era when we had the kings haigy smithy good brit talent we could have had a good conveyor belt off talent coming through and at that time we could have played with less imports because the brits were good enough

Listen to what Tom Muir says about Arena Teams mixing in a League with Rink teams from 2011 That's right where we are now only Arena teams are out numbered now some compromises on both sides or the end of EIHL as we know it on cards

I loved the BNL awesome standard, 8 imports, gave some Super league heavy import teams a right wake up call. I went to every single game right through all the 6 or 7 SNL/NIHL/NL years when we left the BNL, and I realy dont want to go back to that, it was better than the telly, but not anything like BNL or EIHL.
I hope we strike a decent deal with imports 8 or above for me.

It's no about local lads playing for their local team, it's about Tam Muir being tight I see on The Hockey Forum someone has spreadsheet with all average attendances for last 2 seasons all clubs . We are down on average 200 fans per game which is £3000 & with extra import this season & bench coach another £1000 + ,we are down £4000down compared to 2 seasons ago

He knows what the fans want because it should be obvious, he can't then moan about it because they're not putting it on the ice when the crowds drop, it's not rocket science

He's moaning about crowds dropping, he's moaning about import levels rising, and I understand that it's his business, but you can't moan about things that are easily fixed from his end, he knows how to pack the barn, maybe if he spent his budget correctly when recruiting there would be more fans, we scraped into the playoff when Nickerson was here yet had bigger crowds, work it out Tam.

Like swarfiga says the club knows what to do the club also needs to market better just like edunburgh do if they actual used an ounce of the wisdom that made a money they could make tons more fife is a gold mine if done right, if not am sure there are people out there who woukr jump at the chance to own and make them great again
