Fill the barn, this lot couldn't fill their pants! Trouble is...most of them did when Fitzgerald went anywhere near them. But we don't need a player that fights when does that show up on the scoreboard etc etc etc, All from folk who have never been on the ice with that back up. When you know you have the other team in your pocket you take liberties its just how the game is played in any era. Fitzy isn't anything like the guy who first came into FIA with the clan years ago but I would still have a player just like him in my team every single week. Not a popular opinion these days but I dont care!

Brought 7 newbies from the work to the Clan game, thought if there was going to be a game to get them hooked, this would be it. 1 thinks he would go back, the rest thought it was pretty stale and not worth £17 + drinkies. Way to go team 🤬🤬

The promo for tonights Stars rematch is very telling. Basically the Flyers "management" have taken all the roughing clips from last nights game and put them together to try and encourage more bums on seats tonight...
If the management think that is what is going to get people through the door (I agree with that) then surely they realise that having a "character" player is the way to go... give the fans what we want... give the fans excitement... otherwise numbers will continue to dwindle... no one wants to fork out £17 to watch a boring spectacle... reminds me of the chants Arsenal used to get when they ground out 1-0 wins week in week out... "boring boring Arsenal"... the product on the ice is boring... boring boring Flyers...

Never mind, after another win against us last night there should be a few extra Stars fans in the building tonight, which should help swell the crowd.....to around 1500

Anyone know if Flyers use an actual PR company? Hate to say it but last time I went to a clan game (last season) they always seemed to have the game night pretty spot on, everyone is always buzzing, the pre game build up, lights dimmed, music choices and a commentator/announcer who ain’t boring all add up. Half the mall is covered by action shots on the pillars of the clan players, they look good and add a bit of advertising. I remember the days when flyers used to have cheerleaders! Little things go a long way. I also agree that yes it might not be complete solution, a physical intimidator but who can also play some good hockey is needed. The years of Nickerson and Tommy firing the crowds up come to mind! The crowd is always electric

Half serious question.... what do you think the response would be if a fan went to the rink and spoke to Management with a list of ideas and how to implement them?
