Swarfiga been thinking that myself if it was gate based and the gates have been falling how have we been able to carry a spare import for last couple years and have 2 bench coaches. Don't know why we don't go back in time and go with a player coach and a bench coach

All good points but you can talk about it or do something about it.
If you are interested name a pub in Kirkcaldy this Sunday afternoon to get heads together.

I’m totally seek. I went to one game last year after being a regular since being bk in the elite. I streamed more games from home and I stay five minutes from the rink, I’m sure the amount of times I said, glad I never went round and paid fu wack tae get in was numerous. This season my son is old enough to sit thru a game and was really hoping to get both of us season tickets and start hockey journey together. All you hear about is how well the players are treated, new cars, nice houses etc etc , what about the fans .... time to start treating them with a bit more respect or be prepared to lose another couple hundred on the gate every week. The fans don’t even know the direction the club is going or the plans they have for future as there never any contact with the owners, A hope tommy gets the ranes soon, and let’s the auld man away and play with his vintage cars.

Don't know the direction or plans?.... that's because there is/ are none.... the Fife way is do as you have done for the last quarter of a century because they can get away with it

Last of season did it for me, club takes the **** out of fans more than any team in the UK. I went to most games in the first few months which were just awful to watch ended up not going to another game from about November (cant remember the last game I saw tbh) did watch a few webcasts which were just as boring. I have gone to the flyers since 84 been season ticket holder for decades went to pretty much every rink in the UK following them, SECC Wembley etc etc.
However the current price to get in to watch lets be honest c*** hockey from a club (notice not the team, there is a difference) that simply doesn't care about their own fans just became well pointless. Local lads not getting games same old excuses from the coaching staff (which have been repeated again this off season). Every time I think this club has finally woken up they seem to fall even further back. I might pop in for a game or two this coming season but as it stands I might not even bother with that.
No buzz no effort no interaction so why would I give my money to them?

Attendance over the last 5 season (avg) : 14-15 2200 15-16 1989 16-17 1898 17-18 1809 18-19 1637
Down 563 over five seasons , thats a big chunk of cash to simply let walk away.
So for those who post the "not happy then don't bother coming" garbage. theres the facts for you guys right there. The flyers are playing to a half filled building.

That’s the proof that this gate based line that’s regurgitated every year is basically a lie. They know what sells, if some don’t like having a fighter, tough, it’s the truth. Tam Muir knows exactly what the club needs to bring between 500-800 more people through the door and he won’t do it. Got to ask yourself why.

You don't need a out and out fighter to bring in the crowds bring in 2 or 3 guys like salters guys who will put up points but will drop the gloves when needed and will put bums on seats. Also don't know why we don't get a player coach and have just one guy running the bench

Guys like Danick Gauthier and Brett Bulmer you mean? To an extent, just imagine those 2 playing with a bit more physical freedom with Nickerson behind them, that would suit the majority. But they’ve got to watch what they’re doing because unlike Salters they can’t hang with the big boys like Fitzy and Gagnon, they’d get hurt which is something we don’t want either.
