Well I find it hard to disagree with what Kelman explains here ....... it seems the sensible way forward for the teams and league at the moment. And how refreshing it would be to have someone in our organisation put together a statement like this and give an honest assessment of where we stand in the EIHL. More communication than we have had in the last two seasons from Flyers's PR machine.

The "organisation" is Tom Muir, who is not exactly what you would call ebullient. Fife Flyers is Tom Muir which is why they and their communication,if you can even call it that, is the way it is.

Seriously?! Explain how this is terrible in any way? It's boring watching the same teams every other week, it's killed the Dundee and caps rivalries and in the process of killing the braehead rivalry. The point of conferences is to regionalise to cut down on travel costs, ok fine but then you go lump the 4 big boys in together so they make even more money and get further away from the rest, then chuck the new boys the left overs in together, Cardiff are in a conference when there's 4 other clubs they're geographically closer too. As has been mentioned by others, there will be no more games against those teams. Also, if this conference system had been implemented my way, it would have actually meant less games againt those teams because I would have gone for only 6 games against your own conferences instead of 4 so the total number of games was 50 instead of 56. This would have freed up 2 weekends that could have been used to either eliminate the often poorly attended midweek challenge cup games and play them at weekend instead, or, extend the playoffs

Aye I'm fully aware it doesn't mean more games what I'm saying is since the conference started it's got progressively worse rivalry wise
