They aren't the only ones. Shane Smith at Hull has applied for the Pirates to join NIHL but in his statement he also said that he wanted to bring top flight hockey back to Hull. I wouldn't be surprised if he applied and got accepted at the board meeting next week to the Elite League. The EIHA have advised all the remaining EPIHL teams i.e Peterborough, Telford, Bracknell etc to apply to join the NIHL as it appears the new venture of the PIHL is a non starter. This makes the sabre rattling that us and Dundee are doing with our statements about our futures practically irrelevant. There are only two options for us EIHL or SNL and with the prospect of Hull applying for EIHL id us, Stars and Capitals all drop out the league next week the league will still have its 10 teams and wouldn't care less if we left. We unfortunately have to stay in this league but I think we were going to anyway

Imagine if just Dundee got relegated from that system, yes they may have to pay two less import players wages the next season, but that would be nothing compared to the loss of money from the local derby games.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but are we aware our attendances have dropped more than any other in the league this year, well played Tam All Scottish teams dropped in attendance (for league games at least). Caps -24, Stars -15, Clan -4 Flyers - well its down a grand total of 102. League overall performance in attendance is driven mainly by Devils new home as they are up 702. All figures are on the EIHL website and are averaged out over the 26 league games. Flyers average for the Cup was 353 more than the league. Attendances were there to start with but poor displays and boring hockey drove a lot of people away. Our average attendance has gone from 2220 to 1989 to 1897 over the past 3 seasons. If we do decide to stay in the league for god sake put team on the ice fans can enjoy eh..

Interesting reading Telford's statement about the league and the EIHA e-mail.
It won't let me copy and paste for some reason but there is nothing in it to say that they are applying for NIHL

Neil Black wants two conferences of 6, 3 home and away and 2 home and away in League days of 4 and 2 over
All 10 teams voted GF and MKK in to League and now on reflection some didn't think it through
Sounds like usual EIHL organisation, take from that what you want but Braehead are selling season tickets for something
Sounds like meeting on 27th bit of a waste of time in terms of any further negotiations with Black saying your either in or your out. Rumours Hull waiting to make up even numbers if anybody drops out

new London club is defo on they should be in the league at the start of the 2019-2020 season

Anyone who thinks that Flyers would attract crowds of 1300-1400 in another League is way off the mark. More like 300-400. Last seasons figure of 1900 is a good average and could easily be increased by the signing of a Nickerson-type player.
