Flyers getting crucified by fans around the league for moving giants game, I actually think well done on sticking up for themselves and doing it, if they want to self run the league like amateurs then teams will get away with stuff like this

Fife did release a PR telling Belfast fans not to book any travel or accommodation. |

Great posts from all sides and not just the happy-clappers like myself. Are we all actually going to get behind the team from the start. Let's hope so. COYF

My only gripe is the games shouldve been arranged earlier. Now because ive paid to go to the scottish cup im probably not going to be able to afford these friendly games and id rather see the foreign teams.

It does seem a bit unorganised but it seems like they genuinely have made a lot of changes this off season so hopefully it's just taken them a while to get everything in place for moving forward, fingers crossed

I think you'll see the better games in the cup, at least these will be a bit competitive. Friendly games at ice hockey don't work for me, good for a player and team workout at the start of the season without a doubt but minimal contact nicey nicey hockey mmmmmmmm..... |

All of the above ...but win/no win scenario . We wanted the team to have a preseason program. Now they've done it we can still complain because it comes across as half ar@£& . Its the fact its all seems disorganised that frustrates peeps.

Interesting listening to Sam Oakford from Panthers new podcast interview with Simms, saying Sheffield players had 3 weeks off, so that would be mid May roughly and they've been back full time since then, that's the difference.

I suppose it often comes down to extra cost v perceived benefit and value. |

I suppose it often comes down to extra cost v perceived benefit and value. It does and I'd never expect flyers to get guys in in May but like you say the benefit to flyers getting guys in say a month before the season would be massive I think in terms of getting a team in and ready, possibly getting off to a flying start and getting the crowds in early. |

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 You're dreaming, the second last weekend in August is the 19th & 20th. 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. Looks like they will be, or at least part of the team might be here |

Anybody seen Dutes back in Kirkcaldy yet
That's over a month he's been across the pond
Hoping that he has saved a few good announcements for when he returns
There's only two weeks left of school holidays so must be back soon
