Well - it has some link to Edinburgh Capitals as Andrew Scott Neill of Edinburgh is listed as the major shareholder! Its easy to do a google search and come up with the company details. Whether the document is real or not is another matter but ......

Caps fans have certainly been put through the mill on their EIHL journey hope it all works out well for them and the club, not looking good though.

from the caps website
We are aware that reports are in circulation/online relating to the Capitals legal structure.
The club is preparing a full statement on changes being made and why and will release full details next week, we ask for your patience, we know fans need detail and it will be provided.

I hope that everything works out ok for Edinburgh. Must be tough to run a hockey team out of Murrayfield with only a handful of supporters every week.
I think they need a new arena to continue.

Sounds like a plan, the city could do with a large new indoor arena, fed up having to go through to Hydro or Armadillo for decent sized show. How much of a fan base increase this would achieve is debatable though

Surely it would eventually lead to an increased fan base. I think the current Murrayfield rink is one of the main reasons that Caps don't attract bigger crowds, it's too cold and dirty to attract the good folk of Edinburgh. You wouldn't want to go their unless you had to.

I know what you mean, but I don't mind Murrayfield, it has character 😉 Always enjoy a wee saunter over the water and I'm not overly keen on the new soulless arenas, think that's the Fifer in me coming out

To be honest don't think a new arena would make any difference to there crowds can go back to the 80s and 90s when they were really successful and the only time they got big crowds was same as now when fife venture over the water sadly it will always be like that Edinburgh is more a rugby and football city

Wouldn’t worry too much. Until a few years ago, the holding company for Steelers used to fold every summer and appear again in time for the next season under an ever so slightly different name

I believe every owner in the league bar two have done this, One team even has 4 different Companies looking after all the different parts of the "Same" Business With one company taking the season ticket money and another taking the webcast money a 3rd that takes the gate money and a fourth for merchandise/ The real difference here is Caps have done it mid season rather in the Summer when nobody notices.
