I think the most alarming thing is, its not just one or two people who are unhappy with the way the club is being run and nothings been changed in the six years we've been in the elite. Unfortunately for the "moaners" we are still aways away from crossing the rubicon.

But what I will say about Nickerson is 1 he clearly wasn't made by the club to get in shape, although he should have took the responsibility himself and 2, he wasn't hear to score goals and fly up and down the wings, he was there to fight and protect.

So are you happy with what you've seen for the last 6 years? when did you see me write those words. my point is folk on here have written off the team before the league has even started. I ain't saying we are going to be world beaters or we are going to be the best we possibly can be. what I am saying is the negativity hardly helps. and over the last year or so that's exactly what the forum has turned into. yeah it is frustrating that we have so much potential and it isn't exploited to the full potential. ie bringing in that tough guy that we are crying out for, instantly changes the look on the team. in my opinion Stockton shouldn't have been brought back. birzins shouldn't have been signed and would only have had mosey or finnuci. you change that with a two big hard hitting stay at home d men. and two decent power forwards. and then you have a balanced team. regarding you saying they are out of shape. who exactly are you meaning? you are moaning about folk moaning on here then go on to moan about the exact issues folk have long discussed in here. Welcome to the moaners club!!

but you have to support what is in front of you Actually no you don't which is why we haven't sold out FIA in a long time. Fans do have a choice when they see issues with the club they wont turn up. Yes that doesn't apply to every single fan but a great deal have stopped due to ongoing problems with the way the club is run and how the handle social media PR etc. That list includes club sponsors btw. As an example folk on facebook/Twitter are still trying to get an answer from the club relating to Season tickets and the cancelled game on the 3rd. Things like this do create negative feelings and attitudes towards the team/club/owners. Credit to the club when it is due, full time brit/s young prospects signed up, full pre season programme, off ice fitness coaching, 2 bench coaches (forget who it is) these are all things that have been discussed as being required on the forum and they have received the praise when the club has finally after years of waiting got these things right. If we had recruited a few proper physical players and at least a couple like say Cescon who can play and stand up for the team when required how different would the fans outlook be. Instead folk are negative around the club because the PR coming out is awful. Add that to the last 2 seasons of boring hockey, last season being one of our least successful as we missed every target the coaching staff set out at the start. Chuck in our best player heading to Coventry because we wouldn't commit to playing in the league. Maybe you can see why folk are unhappy and do voice their opinions on here, it used to happen on facebook all the time but the club delete any negative comments as quickly as they can. Were those folk all wrong as well?

going to eat humble pie here. team looks horrendous. really can't see where goals are going to come for. surely some sort of changes need made before it gets very embarrassing

It didn't look as though his arm was strapped up last night, so maybe his shoulder is better than expected?

I had major shoulder and arm surgery earlier this year and my arm was in the same sling for 3 months as Shane was wearing at the weekend. I really do hope that Shane recovers quicker than me.
