The Flyers fans have shown last two home games they will come and watch But if they don’t start winning the crowds will dwindle away Hopefully he will do what he says and get the additional bodies in soonest Crowd reported as 1652 on sunday, thats 50% capacity. Decent crowd I suppose for a Sunday night but its the first game of a new season I would expect it to be far higher. I suppose the fact it was the giants and not a huge away support will have played a part. Also points to a continuing trend of declining crowds. Hope it was just down to the Sunday night game but do fear that might be above the average for the season. 19/20 I believe it was around 1400 avg attendance. I honestly don't believe the crowd figures that Fife release as I think there was more than 1600 in there on Sunday night, no way was that arena onlyhalf-full imo. |

You could be right but if you look at the highlights there is a lot of empty seats (appreciate you dont get the full picture from highlights) and to hit 3000 its 3-4 deep standing at the back. Also the fixed seating limits the number of people they can not put through the books as cash sales, it was the playoffs a few years back before the fixed seating came in that they got in hot water with the council and fire service for the number of folk in the building. |

And that’s without a webcast. Not good if accurate at this stage of the season

This is a rumours page, anything posted is not necessarily true Yeah, I understand that, but I also believe the McKee one to be true as I heard a while ago that he was signed in the EIHL, it was either us or Guildford that he was coming to. Would have loved him at Fife as well, but hey ho. Your not the only one that would of loved that signing |

Basaraba returning seems to be doing the rounds.
As a replacement for Adelgran or Carter I’d be all for it. But Todd did say he was looking for Centre’s and also we clearly need physicality and skating up top.
Right now we need the following in my opinion:
F1: New New Chase
F2: Benson McNicholas Basaraba
F3: Stadnyk Peacock McKenzie
Jamieson
(Replacement of Anderson, Carter and Adelgran)
7 import forwards because there is no British D Man so we need 6 Imports on the back end,
D1: New New
D2: Emmerdahl Lescovs/Naslund
D3: Blumenschein Isaacs
I would replace Lescovs or Naslund either or, ideally both to be honest. I don’t think there is much between them. Naslund is slow on the turn and seems to give away a lot of penalties. Lescovs positionally isn’t at the races at all.
If we are making 4/5 changes it needs to be high end guys for sure.
What would others do?

I’ll get pelters for this but Bari McKenzie should be nowhere near our top 9, well infact Dutes said it himself he’s the number 10 forward |

I honestly don't think it matters what changes we make I think the damage already done, not that I not for it, it needs to be done, but to bring the crowds back it has to be done in the off season, generate an excitment by announcing quality signings the way Glasgow and Dundee have, they got their whole fan base buzzing for the season starting. Where we now trying to rectify a total disaster off season recruitment.i can't see a few changes having the crowds flocking back to FIA |

It wouldn't matter what players come to Fife they are over played in a garbage system with no plan b and when things go wrong they are then thrown under the bus for not sticking to a non existent system by a cardboard cutout of a coach who refuses to take any off the blame for his own failings it's the same every season

Dutes has never had one proper full time brit in the whole elite league era. He’s coaching with his hands tied behind his back

Dutes has never had one proper full time brit in the whole elite league era. He’s coaching with his hands tied behind his back I agree Stewart. I don’t think there is another coach that would work within the current set up. Todd has won a conference and taken us to two playoff finals weekends all whilst working under such tight restrictions. Give him a budget and let him use it how he wants to build the team he wants then let’s judge him. One thing is for sure you won’t find a coach who cares more about the Flyers than Todd. I would also say looking at the Dundee game last night the boys were very well drilled they gave up one odd man rush all night and that’s playing Todd’s system. Dundee’s chances came from giveaways and that is not the coaches fault. First goal Dundee score Lescovs out of position does the damage not a coaching error. Second Goal Matt Carter has a terrible giveaway straight to Lawrence again not a coaching error. I’m not Todd’s biggest fan in the world but I do think he’s getting an unfair time currently. Any coach in the league with this group is not winning games, |
