Other than the Scottish cup in September Most other teams seem to have preseason games organised and declared Ross could maybe ask Todd what's set up next time he is speaking to him Would like to think we have something set up for second last weekend in August Sure one of the Forum members spotted the game with the German Team last season and declared it before the Club did Coos tail again

Really don't want us playing more pre season games against our conference rivals, we need something to get the fans imagination

No way are Flyers going to be paying wages and rent for guys nearly a full month before the league starts. If previous years are anything to go by we'll be lucky to have full import quota in the country for the Scottish Cup weekend.

But if the last 5/6 years has shown anything, it's that we have consistently brought guys in later than other teams.

Not dreaming at all Not 100% sure until the fixtures are released but I think the season starts before the Scottish cup weekend We have always had a pre season game Aladin cup season 2 which we won The Bay hotel put up the German team last season which can't have been cheap when you include food and flights etc Tommos team come over one year also Sure there will be something up Flyers sleeve

Like many fans I assumed the new Scottish Cup was just a re-branding of the previous Aladin/Autumn pre-season cups

So the season will be underway and all 4 Scottish teams take a weekend off to play at Murrayfield in an unnecessary additional cup?

This cup was never about pre season and always about trying to get more money out the fans

Steelers tweeting this morning they hit the ice in 3 weeks for the start off their training camp and their first pre season game is in less than 4 weeks.
We just need to sign 16 players.........This club just kills me!

So if these leaked fixtures are correct our first game is on Sunday the 3rd at home v Belfast.
Assuming we do have pre season games planned for the weekend before (which I thought we would have announced by now?) that means the players would be due to arrive on or around the 21st August for a short camp.
Thats 32 days away and we still have a ton of players to sign up!!
Anyone in panic mode yet?
