Iles has a job now!! A Elite team tried to get him, but missed out by a small margin. Maybe if the flyers had have paid the cash to keep him last year, they might have won something! In my opinion, Owen was the better keeper than Iles.I thought that opponents started to get wise to him flopping on all shots and took advantage of his height by going top shelf. It's also my opinion that Owen won a fair share of games for the team last season, reflected by the fact he's been hunted by arguably the best team in the league. I think it's fair to say though that flyers need to recruit wisely for a tender but to be fair they normally come up trumps in this department. Andy had a better save percentage and gaa in his season with, in fact he has the best save % and gaa of any of our goalies in the elite era

Yeah, your right when it comes to the statistics he wins. Numbers dont always give an accurate representation especially when it comes to goalies in my opinion. We all know how inaccurate the shots against can be in some arenas! Both top class goalies with not much in it between them. Would have taken any back without question.

Clan fans reckon they are getting Matthieu Roy.
Reckon Dundee missed out according to Sheffield Star article.
Would take him at Fife ultimate infront of net sniper.
Was a great player for Tommo.

We’re continually told players will be announced as soon as they’re signed so we have to take that at face value, its now 8th of July and we only have three imports signed. Surely in around 4 weeks time our roster should be set in stone for the season. Im absolutely baffled that we have only 4 weeks to sign more than half a roster. Now im under no illusions that we do have players signed but why the reluctance of announcements? Its an extremely strange way to run a business and going by attendance figures it clearly isnt working. Id say 75%+ are unhappy with where the club are in terms of recruitment, are we just gonny start panic signing players that we didnt want back? Its a shame because the negativity from fans is just going to transpire into the start of the season, god forbid the team has a bad start

It's the Flyers way man, sucks I know.
How to demoralise your fan base by Fife Flyers, an annual event which we are particularly good at.

We are now heading towards 3 weeks since Cazzola announced If you take Dutes at his word two reasons either we have players signed and ownership not giving green light to put it out or we don’t have anything further to announce It’s the same every year Our average attendance was down below 1700 last season about 200 or so down on previous year
Things could be so different with a few changes all been said before

Even worse when we keep getting told we are a gate based club surely if that's the case we should be doing more to entice fans through the door it must be easier getting news out the kremlin than it is getting it out the fia

Zamboni don't know how long you have been going to the Fia but that's what amazes me it's not like it's new owners who don't know what kind of crowds the Fia can generate. Muir has been around for years so he knows what kind of attendances they could get with the right type of team on the ice it should be like the mid eighties early nineties where if you didn't have your ticket you didn't get in

Those were great nights and that's what it should be again with the type of player mix to excite the fans. This is why I think we get a conflict between fans that have been going for years and ones who have only been going since we entered the eihl era. Fans like yourself and others who have been going for years know what could be achieved with right amount of effort while the others have never really experienced that experience over a long sustained period of time

Started going 85-86 and the rink was heaving people sitting on the stairs used to be always over capacity but the atmosphere was amazing playing some great teams that are sadly not playing at a higher level used to great nights when Durham and whitley Bay came to the Fia. Can always remember the first time Cardiff came to the Fia there fans bringing leeks and daffodils singing there heads off flyers fans singing flower of Scotland in the bar truly great night

However I think it’s went from anger, to frustration to being unhappy, but now I think there’s a large portion of the fan base have lost interest, it’s a real shame. This gate based stuff is a load of ****, if it was down to the gate they’d do more to get more in, simple, they’ll be ticking over just fine financially.
