Perhaps Neil Blacks London team will be brought forward now. So much for Todd Kelman stating at the fans forum in Nottingham that the EIHL had already discussed the situation and would be proceeding with whoever got the ice-time at Murrayfield. Kelman said at the fans forum the London Team is a 3 year project once they are ready to get going. Only option atm is Hull, who I dont think are viable yet, or for Racers to step aside and let Caps continue. The whole thing is a mess.

What about an amalgamation of the two Edinburgh bids, the Craps ?

Hull pretty much confirming they've been approached for EIHL. Scott Neil will need to get an answer from Murrayfield ASAP.
"PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!
The off-season is well and truly underway for teams in the NIHL. However, that just means that our hardwork begins to build for next season! We have been working tirelessly behind the scenes and things are looking amazing right now! We are growing our brand and the organisation and have a stability and sustainability that we are really proud of.
Things have gone a bit quiet recently in terms of announcements, we know you are as excited as us to know what the team will look like next season. Trust us, we are chomping at the bit to tell you, all we ask is that you have faith in us and that we are ready to go!
We've taken the decision to stay quiet because we have an amazing opportunity that we need to consider. This will be done over the next couple of weeks, once we have a decision you will be the first to know! BUT we have to make sure that it is the right decision for us and especially for you.
Please be patient, it is an exciting time to be a Pirates fan!"

If the 2 Edinburgh factions seriously want eihl ice hockey to survive then I don't understand why they just don't join forces pull there resources which would make them stronger

Where do Caps brits go Some won’t want to leave EIHL or play lower league I don't think there will be a scramble for their signatures from elite teams.

Whilst I agree I do think we should look at some of their young players: Plews: with Tommy rumoured to be retiring he would give us some grit on the backend from a British perspective. Has cut his teeth with the Caps and would do well for us. Not a world beater but solid. Caly Robertson Crazy to lose him last year part of the future with Smithy and Reece. We need to bring in British players no doubt but the above would give us some extra depth. I’d still like us to sign a high calibre British forward so we can go 5D plus Wando then 8 forwards plus a high level Brit. Smithy Reece Plews and Calum Robertson as our depth forwards increasing ice time through the season hopefully.

I don't think you will see a coalition at Edinburgh the two sides are poles apart from each other.

So going by the update in the paper we are currently not in a position to announce coaches but hope to soon and we have no players signed up yet. Not sure what the delay is but the club are losing all momentum gathered from last season. Just hope they aren't waiting to see how the conferences end up.

Matt Elder has tweeted saying he suspects it could be the club holding off announcing anything until conferences are sorted...he's not the only one either apparently.

If it’s for the playing side that could be smart, if the Scottish conference doesn’t exist anymore we may need a slightly more physical side to go against the southern teams more, unfortunately though it’ll probably mean a lower budget team if they scrap the 3 conferences

Rumour on Clans forum that Caly Robertson could be Clan bound. Excellent prospect from Fife academy you'd hope Flyers would be in there. Looks like we are messing around this summer waiting on the outcome of this board meeting so looks like we will miss the boat once more.

We will remain amateurish until the bitter end. It has always worked for us in the past, hasn't it?
