Being the Devils Advocate I am, I reckon our fixtures have been done like this for 2 reasons, 1. To put two fingers up at us. 2. Either Scott Neil (Chums with most of EIHL board) and/or The Wards asking for money....ok we will give Fife 3 home games in March at the end of the season and we will make 2 of those games midweek, because we all know Fife fans will travel either side of the bridges for there hockey fix. Yeah I know reason 2 is probably not the reason, but the way this league works in regards of some owners scratching each others backs it wouldn't surprise me. What was Jack Wishart doing when all this was going on  Was he even there to agree with that! |

If these are correct, i hope any season ticket holders can make friday snd sunday night games. This almost sounds like a dig at the club. Season tickets are always released before the fixtures are released, same in every sport so we know what we are signing up to. Are the fixtures sh#t, they sure are but let's not start blaming the club for not having 28 home Saturday games now for feck sake. Aff yer high horse, no dig at the club as they wont financially loose out if some season ticket holders cant make non saturday home games, genuine concern as i personally know season ticket holders that were already 50/50 for renewing and cant make midweek games |

Haven't renewed the 3 season tickets for my family this season, for a few reasons.
Firstly I work away from home and miss a lot of games, but kept my seat so I could sit beside my family when home.
Then last season I only seemed to catch Sunday night home games, which doesn't suit me. We still travelled away to other Scottish venues on most Saturday nights and got webcasts when Flyers were down south. Much prefer Saturday night in Kirkcaldy and travel away on Sunday. Think we got lucky and were spoiled that way during our first 2 or 3 years back in Elite.
None of the above is criticism aimed at club, just my tuppence worth.

I think the club and the league have done well for flyers in their 6 years up to now keeping the Saturday night games, it's a shame we seem to be losing more saturdays but we can't expect to have every home game on a Saturday forever unfortunately

am just thinking the 3 in 3 games look at the travelling were doing nuts but then Dundee will be worse

More midweek games than I would have liked due to my work circumstances. The run-in seems particularly crazy. 7 of our last 9 games away from home and the 2 home games are both on a Wednesday night. If we are in a fight to make the play-offs, that could make things very difficult. I genuinely think every club in the league has had to compromise a bit on the fixtures. We can no longer expect to have every home game on a Saturday night but I think our representative at the fixtures meeting/scheduling could have done a bit more for the team and fans.

Crazy end of season fixtures as niall says and disappointingly only one double header down south, what an amount of travelling will need to be done.

Yip it's a feckin joke. I see Nottingham have managed to secure a triple header away in Feb up in Scotland. Even Belfast have at least 2 away double headers in Scotland.

You've got to wonder if old Jackie Wishart was snoozing through the whole day

I suppose with a team of only 5 players we'll get away with only needing a big estate car as our transport !

This seasons fixtures are Brutal
Whoever agreed to these needs to look themselves in the mirror
3 no 3 games in three nights
two of them in February 2018 on consecutive weekends
Its almost like Fife were not represented and Simms decided to hand this out
