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 You weren't far off with your dates, Suspect we will be a few imports down for opening fixtures on 26/27 Aug. It was only a few seasons ago that we couldn't get Reber and Ned in in time for preseason, and they were returnee's😂

Probably around £1 per import icing! (at weekend pass rate) Thought we might have had a few more announcements by now based on comments made by Hutchins last week.

Quite expensive for friendlies I think, £10 or less would have been better, but what do I care I'll be giving them a miss.

Decent prices if we have a full team to watch... otherwise steep to watch So you won't be there unless another 7 imports are guaranteed to lace up ? Fair enough. My main point was Scottish Cup prices even allowing for full strength rosters a rip off.

My main point was Scottish Cup prices even allowing for full strength rosters a rip off. Defo won't be at Scottish cup. A lot of money to possibly watch flyers (and possibly a half strength team at that) play one game. I think our home friendlies offer much better value, but only if we have a full team ( or as close to one as possible), otherwise it's pointless in my opinion.

The accommodation is usually heavily discounted at the bay hotel anyway.

TML.
Maybe Flyers should realise it isn't them that pay for those expenses it's the spectators who cover all the costs they incur, perhaps they should comprehend that fact and maybe treat those people a bit better instead of appearing to take everybody for granted, after all the lack or no fans at all will mean they don't have those costs to worry about in the first place.

Yeah that's when The Bay Hotel were a major sponsor of the Flyers, I can't recall them being involved this year with the great 8 sponsorship?
