Doubt it as much as you want Is this a 'i know something but not telling where the information came from' statement Yes. And why just WHY would I disclose my sources..i won't get information if I do that. Silly

Apparently some arena team fans aren't happy that the three little Scottish teams have gotten their way and will be boycotting away matches North of the border.

They don't come anyway, unless it's a double or triple header, and as we are a gate based club and the league keep saying that every individual team has to look after it's own business model, we did that and went for three conferences of four and are now getting slated for it. Balance of power has changed in the league now with more rink based teams than arena teams and the arena teams aren't going to get their own way anymore

I have it on good authority that 3 x 4 has been agreed for next season. Well done! Someone on this forum with some genuie news instead of the usual specuiation well off the mark. I think the three-conference set-up will be brilliant and cant wait for the season ticket box office to open. It will be good to see the new teams in action. Well done the directors!

Unless your authority is Neil Black I doubt that very much. Doubt it as much as you want Fair play...never thought the Scottish teams would have got 3x4 in play never mind accepted. Actually sounds like common sense and logic for all clubs won the day. Very Surprised but really happy to be wrong on this one.

Might just be me but the only thing I take from that is ticket prices are going up. Seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors to justify an increase.

Probably, and then we'll get the "be grateful we're even in the league, then some two sentences about how it's a lot more expensive to run the team this year" to justify taking out a mortgate for a season ticket

I wouldn't be surprised if prices went up but I don't think that they will go up as much as Dundees', we have a little bit more room for maneuver as our prices haven't gone up as often as Dundees' have.
Next season Stars are charging £495 for a 31 game season which works out at £15.97 per game up from £363 for 26 games or £13.97 per game
Walk up prices are £18 for adults,£13 concession, £10 child or student and £46 for a family of 4
They are looking for an investment of £50,000 but are not for sale as such but would be willing to listen to serious offers for the club.
I would think Flyers may put up their walk up prices.
Thing is clubs like Dundee and ourselves who are run by successful businessmen aren't able to put long term, sustainable business plans in place as the model for the league seems to change every summer.
Apparently when Dundee joined they were asked to put a 5 year plan in place, I would assume the same was asked for us, but at the time the import number was 10 so wouldn't it make sense for Stars to do a 5 year business plan based on that number, or not see it being changed as drastically as it has. How can you run a business and make plans for it if the rules keep changing every year and costs keep spiralling up?

Being honest our prices have not increased last couple of seasons and we are cheap compared to other clubs, an increase is probably on the cards and overdue...it's one thing we cannot slate the club for

I would happily pay 18 quid if the games were worth watching week in week out. If its about spending money the right way don't have 2 bench coaches go for a player coach, and every player you sign (apart from young guys breaking through) must be able to play in every game. No point signing several guys approaching 30 who never hit the ice. Oh and sort out the social media side of the business and drive ticket sales. we have on average 1400 seats sitting empty every week Not hard to see how the club can be better off is it.

Secondly to not have season tickets sales prepared and ready for release this morning is just nonsense. The players will most likely be here in 16 weeks for our usual training camp. There is a hell of a lot to sort out between now and then.
