Each to their own eh, but doubt the same few moans online is going to change anything. Or am I just a happy clapper for supporting the team regardless 🤔

Am just going on the fact the coach says when he knows and the club have guys signed and paper work done they would be announced, check out elite prospects we have the least announced so am just wondering so we have others signed and if so why are they not being announced

The Fife Way will ensure longevity for the happy clappers they think the club are nothing more than a small town team with little ambition other than make up the numbers .............. know what they are right on course for that ... mission accomplished, the moaners as they are known are more ambitious than the club owners and would rightly love to see the team compete in the top 3 regularly which is only possible if you want it ...........therein lies the problem.

Flyers surely cant be a consistent top 3 team season after season though. Even if the crowds average 2000 they are still up against teams who average 5-6000 and it doesnt take a dummy to do the math. They might get lucky with players one season and get top 3 but would struggle to hang onto those players and as weve seen with owen they can double/triple their wages at a bigger club. I guess the owner could go for it and blow the budget and spunk a load of dough one season but the team wouldnt be here the next

I hear both sides to this. On one, a competitive team is always found and put on the ice. I cant think of a poor signing in the 2 seasons I have seen, so appear to recruit well. We still are a couple of months away so no real panic.
On the other, we live in the social media age where people are used to instant and frequent updates. So its understandable fans are desperate for news and going days and now over a week without any meaningful news doesn't cut it.
How do you change that is the big question.
Start a supporters club or crowd fund? £5 from every 100 or so fans would just about see you sponsor a player. Then you go from being a fan (happy clapping or otherwise) to being an investor. Clubs always have to listen to investors.

Sterlingarcher The club are in the dark ages with no real ambition, marketing is almost zero, social media is an absolute joke, being the best kept secret in Fife is not the way to go about being a leading light in your business sector, perhaps a wee bit more enthusiasm would lead to a higher level of income ...... now i'm being flippant.

Players have visited a high number of schools and carried out presentations Hardly a secret The buses were running about advertising also

Zamboni The company i work for have advertised on the back of buses for 3 years, i have asked any new enquiries / customers how they found out about us and in those 3 years the grand total of leads is NIL. I have passed that info on yet they still persevere with this tactic ?

See that seems like a CV signing to me, very limited game time over the last 2 years, getting on in age, hasn’t really put up numbers for a while, and Rick jackman was out pointing him in the Asia league, that could be 1 of these signings you expect to tear the league up and does nothing but costs a fortune.

Totally agree, an aging player very much on the wane in terms of quality of league playing in and points production... personally would rather have the Goat or Schaeber over this guy any day of the week.
