Hello, time to introduce myself! I’m Lauren, long time lurker/noise maker and taking over from Mark to keep the forum going. So bear with me while I get properly acquainted. Project for tonight - Finally getting the drums sorted to go to their new home tomorrow at Fife Ice Arena! Only get a couple of weeks out them this season, but should help amp up the atmosphere for the boys in our final playoff push. Will be at the game and skating after on Saturday, come say hello if you see me. Long black dreadlocks, probably falling - canny miss me. Lauren

Welcome to the forum Lauren and thanks for taking over the reigns from Mark. These bad boys look like they’ll make plenty noise, I look forward to hearing them👍

Not sure where they’ll be going yet but definitely should bring some atmosphere! Hopefully drown out the clan ones next weekend haha

Anything to help the atmosphere has to be a bonus. I grew up at the rink and the flyers, when it was a really intimidating place to play, I was lucky enough to then be a player years later and I can tell you there were times we sat in the old dressing room before the face off and you thought the ceiling was going to come in with the feet stamping that went on, and you could see the new imports thinking 'whats going on here' or holy S**t to be more accurate, when they skated out.
In years gone by there were a few rinks like this, like Durham and Whitley. But now FIA is unique, I really hope it can get back to what it once was, the potential is still there, and congrats to you Lauren for trying, I hope you are getting some sort of collaboration from Flyers match night team.

Definitely want to get back to holy s**t level 😂 I’m sure splitting this lot up on top of the ones who routinely bring drums will help. Hopefully work with the club in the off season to get a designated noisy section set up, really combine our forces haha.

Section H right behind the away bench would be a good place for a noisy section, drown out the away coach as he try’s to give instructions.

Safe to say I’m gubbed. “Outdoor bike” = drumming. Can’t say I didn’t try haha. Frustrating atmosphere tonight at times, felt the crowd was working against each other rather than combining our forces. Which led to one Guildford fan outdoing our entire home crowd. Definitely shows the need for a dedicated noise section. Think will be jumping across to section c they always look up for a party

Thought we were getting the drums at tonights game? I delivered them yesterday, will be keeping at them to make sure they get used! Won’t be any point if they just sit in a cupboard/office

Keep going Perfectnightmare. Thought the atmosphere was much better last night. Keep going and folk will start joining you - then you will get the place bouncing.
Nottingham lost their heads totally earlier this season and the auld barn played it's part in that so bring the noise and good things will happen.
Don't give up - the Flyers need you!
