We all know the Fife Flyers Social Media is a bit pathetic eh... here's a classic example.
My daughter took her game scarf all the way to Las Vegas on the off chance we met anyone remotely famous there and we could get a picture of them wearing it.
Well we managed to get both Nate Schmidt and Colin Miller (current Vegas Golden Knights NHL'ers to pose wearing it, sent it to all of their social media pages with a caption saying Nate and Colin wish you luck.
Guess what they've done with it (with less than 2.5 hours before game time... what a missed opertunity...

The guy that runs the Flyers social media is an absolute tool, he's all about his own agenda. He's not fit to run the social media side of things. I've seen loads of people directly ask fifeflyers a question on twitter, myself included and the majority go unanswered. He doesn't give a sh!t about the teams own fans. He needs to take a long hard look at himself and copy the Model the Clan and Storm use. Their social media team are excellent.

If isn't the social media people its the DJ, change the record, the negativity on this forum is embarrassing at best.

The overall negativity probably is- and it's the same on most sports teams forums. However if something within the club is brutally bad I don't think fans shouldn't discuss. Good news though is that the pictures have now been tweeted. Also a tweet today urging Flyers fans to back Braehead's Jordan Buesa for player of the week...

On the subject of the DJ He was brutal on Sunday night yet again, his emotions get the better of him especially when he goes into cheerleader mode ....... would help if he got the simple announcements correct.....if that sounds like a moan.....TOUGH.... this is my opinion based on what I/We are subjected to on game nights.

Thought the DJ did a good job drowning out that racket from the Glesga mob, that repetitive dirge from them gives me the boak

Tell me what would you have done with it? and what affect would it have had it been tweeted by the club? How have the club lost out by not posting the picture before game time as opposed to posting it after game time?

How have the club lost out by not posting the picture before game time as opposed to posting it after game time? Public engagement. It's not so much that it could have "done" anything drastic but its free PR. They should be jumping on that kind of stuff. It gets the fan base pumped up and it keeps the brand relevant it's positive PR before a game it's stuff to punt out to garner interest. Marketing and PR is extremely effective especially pre game/event .. could be the difference between somebody deciding to get a last min ticket or not and I don't care how huge a brand is or how small it is, positive PR is always a good thing. Bad news travels faster and farther than good news for brands and companies and any sort of positive spin should be jumped on whether your a nail tech just starting out or a multi national company all forms of positive exposure is necessary and a key element to success. As someone else has pointed out in one of the threads... Manchester Storm are churning stuff like that out constantly and it works.

Flyers Twitter now asking flyers fans to take a course in Spanish run in Edinburgh by focus consulting...who pay not a penny towards the flyers, I just don't get the thinking behind this...is it a flyers account or a account run for the benefit of owner and his friends. The whole social media is just wrong.

Perhaps a community club like Fife Flyers would like to promote their wares in any positive form but no lets keep them Kirkcaldy's greatest secret ......even Caps were on the TV the other night, maybe publicity works hence Ayr Bruins / Paisley Pirates / Glasgow fans of old have morphed into.....Braehead Clan who's attendances FAR SURPASS THE PREVIOUS CLUBS MENTIONED fan base combined ......pity aboot thon DRUMMER.

The whole social media is just wrong. That's my gripe with it- it doesn't feel like a club account. Too much personal opinion using the royal 'we' and a sense that it's just someone deciding on their own what to put out, forgetting that for many it's viewed as the voice of the club. I don't want to see our club account having petty arguments with that idiot Simms, crawling up to other teams, or telling us to vote for an opposition player as player of the week because some of our 'friends from the West' voted for a Flyers player the week before etc. etc. Why on earth did they not have game updates on Sunday night for our biggest game of the season? Surely if the normal updater wasn't available there MUST have been someone who could have put a few tweets out? What's more important- keeping the fans up to date on a big night or being precious about someone else getting a shot?
