I don't question that many, maybe all, of our local talent may not be up to EIHL standard, my issue is that I don't think that they have been given a fair crack of the whip to prove themselves.

Todd's in a no win...the crowd demand results, and to do that we need to play players that can play at this level...we never really blew any team away last year, the games were in the main fairly tight so the chance to play them was not really there, however I like the look of the guy Jamieson ..he had a confidence about him and size..I would like to see him being our first real home grown success, Simpson as well, he is doing the right thing on being on a two way, if you ask him he himself will admit when first given chance a couple of years ago ..he blew it himself by his attitude to conditioning and hard work, he knows this and hopefully !!!, I genuinely think this year we will see our first successes for home grown players.

McAlpine would have been a great Brit in the elite league but unfortunately left due to work.

Iv said it before and I'll say it again I think the biggest problem the brits have at Fife is the mentality of the owner and coaches in that the imports earn the most money so they have to get every last ounce of effort out of them whereas the brits earn peanuts so it's easier to have them ride the bench

Tom Muir would have non import hockey if it brought the crowds in..he is a big believer in local players...trouble is..it's a 14 import league..so none of our juniors are good enough for an elite regular shift

Any viable alternative to the EIHL and you wouldn't see us for dust.

Joe if that is the case why doesn't he just pull Fife out of the league as a business man he wouldn't stay in something if he wasn't making money

But surely that wouldn't matter if there was an alternative or not if he wasn't making money in this league he would just pull out and not put anymore money in to the team

The smaller rinks in the days when we played In the northern league were great atmospheres and great away days. Dumfries, Blackburn, Whitley bay, etc. I'd love to go back to the 3/4 import days.

Think this year we’ve got a pretty good Brit pack think what’s important is how they’re utilised. Also Jamiesons quite a good player like glad he scored last night well earned
