If they charged £10 a head they would probably fill the rink. That combined with food sales for the whole day they'd made a killing.

Certainly is a lack of buzz not just for this weekend but the whole show ....no thanks to the absolute pre / off season shambles + Todd & Hutchins antics and lies, throw in the actual lack of match night experience and dare I say it the evening meals are down in quality (my opinion).
If this sounds like moaning TO SOME, I would say it is more like FACT. ........ Count the empty seats.
OH Yes, and the season has not even started yet.

It's taken Scott Neil a while to get going but it certainly looks like CAPS have trumped the other Scottish clubs on the signing front, lets see what it's like in reality over the coming months.

Single game tickets now available, assume sales aren't going too well. £18 for a single game.....yeah right good luck getting folk to pay that for pre season. Just a money grabbing excercise! But it's technically not a preseason. This is a new cup for the Scottish teams to compete for and is organised by the league. I guess the extra expense is due to all the public skating money that the rink will lose out on and as such the ice times will be inflated |

....and so the gloom continues.....is there any point in anyone going to FIA this year. Obvs from what the viewpoints on here we might as well all stay at home , eat our own stovies and watch Dads Army on Beeb2. In some peeps opinion even the bar food is down due to a general malaise at FIA. Yet..why if if you are so unhappy with the product do you continually support it by going to games. Im not happy with the product from last year but will wait and see before I start ranting and raving. As for "looks a quality signing "insert name here" ..so have many for many clubs and have fallen on their backsides here. Can we wait til Season starts properly and the guys start to perform at a real competitive level before we start getting flights home sorted. It May just be guys are keeping stuff in reserve for preseason games and have more in potential. Do we want to show our hand too soon? If Im wrong Im wrong but Id at least wait and see before the nooses get strung up. Also Scottish Cup ...ooft what a load of guff more opportunity for injury and dismal fans...

Almost as important as the Aladdin Cup. Flyers have even referenced it as part of their pre season programme and having 6 games before the real stuff starts. |

Jeeves.
Actually the stovies at KIA are ok, I had the chicken curry chips and rice last weekend ...... I nearly needed to drink the curry, the chips were rubbish and I counted 3 bits of chicken.
Having very regularly eaten at games for a few years I feel I am entitled to my view on the food served up.
Back on the thread subject..... I will not be complaining about the food at Edinburgh this weekend as I will not be attending.
PS, I'm glad I didn't buy tickets for my wife and I seeing as the goalpost have been moved to single game tickets ...seems a few folk are like minded on a Murrayfield visit this weekend..

Preseason cup competition massively over priced for what it is. Tenner a game is about all its worth, Eighteen pounds for the final wow that's steep.

Seem to agree with most statements about the Scottish Cup.
I am hockey mad and have been for 36 years - but flat as a pancake this pre season.
I will not spend so much out of principle to see a warm up cup and personally think its ludicrous to charge so much.
It may become a serious ambition as Silverware for the Scottish clubs in the future but why they don't just fill the rink in its first year try out is beyond me.
I don't expect it will be up to much tbh and that is a shame.

I wonder if they're waiting to see how much they bank from this weekend before making their last signing

Should do more to play up the rivalry. First face off Tommy Muir could drop the gloves and go after a Scottish player on the opposing team. Would get the barn rocking.
