I think people are being a bit harsh on Sidds and Hammy.
When these guys arrived they played a huge amount of minutes and through injuries for the team. Truth is, we were a farce in the first season. Todd and Danny have admitted that things were wrong both on and off the ice. Siddall and Hamilton were professional players who had to make decisions based on what was right for their career, not the Flyers.

I think you also need to remember they were told we were going to be the best team in Scotland by Christmas. I actually think if anyone did the dirty, it was the club alas.
False expectations

I agree Davie both were excellent players who I would welcome into this team in a heartbeat adding Sidds and Hammy over Chaumont and Todd would have us in a much better position. Hammy would have been incredible with Jay Pitts and Hainesy and I think Sidds would have done well with Hogger and JD. The team would be faster and more physical as well as having 2 proper scoring lines something we have sadly lacked at times this season

Siddal and Hamilton both did the dirty on us, why would you want any of these two back ! ? They had their chance I wouldn't welcome them back. disagree, the club did the dirty on them with false promises. Although in Sidds case he wasn't exactly transparent on his intentions when he left. First flyers new of him leaving was when his new club announced the signing if I remember correctly.

Wasn't sure where to put this but does anyone know how the seedings work this year for the quarters of the playoffs? For example if the league ended today what would be the next round?

So it's been said by quite a few folk that some so called Flyers fans were having a go about Bobby Chaumont. So who can name these imbeciles? How many points does Bobby have for us? I'd imagine during his time in Fife his points per game is probably more than 2pts per game. Some of our fans are starting to give us a reputation and it's about time they took a long hard look at themselves!! Sometimes you need to look deeper than just stats, some people just don't take to certain players. However, that doesn't mean they aren't proper fans or need to take a look at themselves. Recently we signed Derek Campbell for a short while, he scored 14 points in 8 games for us, so for the sake of simplicity, call it 2.00 ppg. However, for those of you who've seen Derek Campbell, he can appear lazy. Therefore, despite his stats, some fans don't feel he was giving his all and as such would shout 'pull your finger out Campbell' or similar shouts. But they have paid their money just as I have and as such are just as entitled to their opinion. Ed Courtenay played for us 2009-2010 season and he scored 95 points in 41 games, so 2.32 ppg. But same just as with Campbell, he could appear lazy and uninterested because he wouldn't backcheck and pretty much just stand on the blueline and wait for the puck. Although Courtenay was 41 and his body just didn't have it anymore, the guy came off the ice after every game in quite serious pain, but to those who didn't know that, they'd just think he was lazy. We also have to remember that not all fans are stats geeks and don't attend every game. For example, say you were raving about your star player to your mate for weeks on end, he's scored a shedload of points, but has an off night when your mate happens to go with you and scores 0 points, perhaps taking 2 minor penalties. If your mate shouted 'pull your finger out', does that mean he's not a true fan? Of course not. In short, this would be a very boring world if we were all happy clappers. We all pay our money and we're al entitled to boo, chant, cheer or do whatever we feel like (within reason of course).

Well I, for one, was sorry to see Bobby go. Why would you get rid of one of your best point scorers? Fife fans should be pleased they have him in their ranks...I would have him back at Clan today if it was possible!
