They’ve changed the photo now, must have realised when they were getting slaughtered in the comments Not good enough. In this day and age Social Media is a must. Flyers could reach thousands everyday with social media. During the season it sees to itself, off season its simple.... Season Ticket Info, Some early player signing news, look backs on the season just had, weekly column from the management team(not war and peace just a couple of paragraphs), pre season dates and info, jersey reveals, when players are expected to arrive, changes at the rink. I could go on but its whats expected by 9/10 people now on a daily basis. Printed media is dying off and digital is the way ahead. Good somebody wants to step up to plate How do we get you in to see Ownership? You will need to sign FIA official secrets act. 😬

Started thinking about Gauther signing Bit premature given that he is still a Sydney Bears player That’s why it won’t go on EP until the AIHL season is done

Good to see Gauthier or GOAT (greatest of all time) back. Shame the PR didn't compliment a guy who brings a lot to the ice for the club.
Club need's to start putting people in place who want to move the club forward, as this PR stunt shows they don't care about the players now, never mind the fans.

Fife Free Press Editor and Co have posted their displeasure also However there must be a fracture in the relashonship I think there has been one signing declared so far this season in FFP I think the club got a bit annoyed as there seemed to be a leak prior to club or press annoncing players last two seasons Surely Mr Crow and Mr Elder can work on this has there been a fall out? Post home game interviews with Coach seems a bit hit and miss also Is it down to cost, sports updates help sell the paper Surely Flyers news / updates are free? The FFP coverage has been poor for the past few seasons including a number of games where the press box at the rink has been empty. There seems to be little proactive journalism from our so called local paper. This has been evident again this summer when there have been a few weeks that there was no coverage at all for hockey. If the club isn’t handing news on a plate to the FFP then I would presume that the journalists have contacts at the club that they could approach.

Spot on Andi. The FFP would do well if they used your match reports. Far better than their own.
I think it was the weekend when we could have secured the play offs that the FFP decided an away game for the Rovers in Brechin was more worthy of covering.
Where were they when the EIHL were "bending" the rules at the end of the season?
The FFP is the Rovers Fanzine. It would be interesting to see the amount of articles written in the closed season as a comparison. 10 Rovers for every 1 Flyers?
I don't mind that but don't claim to be a local paper covering local news if you are not reflective of the local people and organisations. Don't head your twitter page asking people to admire your coverage of ice hockey and don't feign indignation when the Flyers show the same level of interest in you.
What would be more beneficial to the Flyers? Keeping the Press Box for the odd bit of coverage, or turning it into the Best Seats in the House. A weekly competition where fans can win a seat there and get the benefit of the best view in the rink.

I'd do it for free! I run the social media stuff for a local judo club, it's really not hard in this day and age. I've built my career around social media and have worked for a social media agency for 10+ years. I offered my services, free of charge, to the Flyers 8 years ago and got ignored. Obviously my face doesn't fit!

They need to making use of people like yourself in this day and age everything is digital and stuff is out there almost on a daily basis, there is even teams in the fhl in Canada putting stuff up on social media almost daily to keep interest on the club during the off season

Agreed...in the most part they think they are superfan's, but there are a few that serve the club well ...and we do rely on them for income via shop, raffles 50/50 etc.

The shop might generate more income if it was open for longer on match nights. Some nights it isn’t open with 30 minutes to face off.
