Tickets for first exhibition game It would be good to know that the team will be here and who it is Then I might go out and Buy I don't think coaching staff are holding back the only reason they would hold back is down to Contracts not agreed The Ownership might be the reason wanting to do things ''Traditionally'' If we are getting new Brits etc would it not be better to get that news out? Old Logic with modern day expectation is poles apart You promote business with getting the message out there

Sadly Flyers management appear to be happy to play with a half empty arena as they make no attempt to catch new spectators. They make no real attempt to spread the word about ice hockey or sell it to a wider audience. Really is pathetic. Doesn't seem to make business sense.

You'll get no arguments here, everyone knows the management has a serious issue with media but expect bums on seats despite this

Article in FFP by Hutchins suggests that it's ok not to have a full squad as it's only pre-season and Challenge Cup! In my view the season STARTS with pre-season games. That's how the top teams start their competitive matches approaching full tilt. First tilt at silver ware and we seem to be going in under-manned.

Well the article confirms the rumour that has been doing the rounds. That we will run 1 D man short in hope Young can overcome his injury and is fit and bring him back in later in the year !!!

Was that in the FFP? Didn't see it in the online version. From what I'm told it's currently taking 15 days for a visa to come through. I think we wait until a player gets their visa before announcing them. Probably most players signed and just waiting for the visa.

Everyone knows that a concussion recovery has no predetermined timeframe. You could wait the entire season or still be waiting years from now. Worst case if Young recovers why not view him as a potential 'spare', he will be a risk as its one think being symptom free when you are taking things easy but what happens when you start taking contact, no one knows. My question would be why did Moyer take so long to make a decision? I understand that it's not ideal for preseason or even the first weekend of the season if it drags on but I do understand what they were doing but should have pressed the player for an earlier call.

I’m pretty much sure that we’ve signed Joe Basaraba, he’s had himself listed on LinkedIn as playing for us for a couple of weeks now. Photo on his Instagram a couple of hours ago showing his plane ticket to Edinburgh too. www.eliteprospects.com/player/30055/joe-basaraba
