Great old days, no cheer-leading, ego, or rubbish music, the current guy thinks he's the star attraction. Malcolm did the show perfectly with a clear voice and accurate announcements / details you could complete your programme with and subtle music to compliment the mood.

I'm not convinced folk come on here to moan, well, maybe sometimes...I am 100% confident it all comes down to frustration. I am as guilty as the next man, I don't doubt it. I will always support the club, I go to as many games as I possibly can, but be in no doubt, the last couple of years have been awful. The odd good game when we've blown opposition away, but generally, the style of play has led to zero atmosphere being generated. Think back to the Clan games 3 seasons back, Nickerson & Fulton going up against Frank and Fitzy etc, you just knew something was going to happen.
I am sure we all have ideas and ways we think it would improve, the most banded about obviously being a coaching change, but, lets give credit where its due, the recent interview had a very different tone to it, and perhaps, finally, the penny has dropped that fans are pig sick of mediocrity. The jury is out for now, but lets see what happens.
My only niggle, is we had the Dutes interview heading for 2-3 weeks back, announcing transparency, and that 2-3 players will be announced in days, and then the club has done what it always does, goes into media silence.
Come on Fife Flyers....as it was once said....Build it, and they will come

7/7 for me this season and no pucks dropped yet Davie that's the way I see it going I'm afraid, the only expansion I have seen at KIA is going from 1 cardboard cut out to two.

Thats something I cant get my head around, the owners do the it's costing to much money routine yet do nothing to bring crowds through the door. They then bring back both bench coaches after a terrible season littered with poor performances? That alone should have been enough to signal a change never mind the seasons gone before.
If budget was such a concern why did they not go for a playing coach and drop the cost of 2 bench coaches?

I don't think cost was ever the issue, it can't be. It was purely an ideology to go to a far reduced import league, which, will be without doubt, the wrong move

Then to come out in a post match interview and point that very fact out!!! That one in particular stunned me more than any other gaff.

Six seasons completed in the EIHL and we have done nothing really but tread water down the lower reaches of the league.
I think that we are capable of much much more but we have underestimated the needs of the league in many ways.
Our player selection has never been quite right, our coaching and game play leave a lots to be desired, our players appear to be allowed free reign when they are off ice and our general PR and presence on social media has been just amateurish at best.
Yeah amateurish just about sums up our Elite League venture so far. Changes are needed without a doubt and quickly to re-engage with the fans so frustrated with their team. We need a good season with a team that leaves it on the ice night after night, a tough fast skating team that sticks up for itself, a few impact players that lift the crowd and a total revamp of our PR and media output.
Some signing news would be a good start but I fear that TD is having problems calling across the pond using the tricky international dialling codes!
Stirlingflyer should be put in charge of our media stuff!

we can and should be doing the same if not better than Dundee, there PR is good soon as a guy is signed its on youtube with an interview with coach and player, also they can do a media thing from that interview from that and post it on website, and social media no hard job done but naw no us
