The fact that the owners keep banging on about the fact that we are a gate based club…….then do nothing pro active to get customers coming through these gates says it all about their lack of ambition really. I mean, these guys at the helm have a decent business acumen right? Such a shame then that they don’t use their business acumen when it comes to selling the ‘GREAT NIGHT OUT’!!!!

I've been trying (trying being the key word) to give them the benefit of the doubt with everything that's gone on in the past year and a half but **** me, they're making it difficult. I've always preferred the late announcements because, to me anyway, it builds up the excitement to the season starting but they're taking the **** this year. It's the same copy and paste nonsense with the same mistakes. It was great a few years ago when they added a bit of a humour element to it, like announcing Gauthier with a wee video showing a goat, or having proper announcement videos made for players instead of the same rinse and repeat background we've been getting this year. The manor in which they're being announced as well is completely half-arsed, a mention on Twitter or Facebook about a signing then announce them a few hours later with a few posts at the back-end of it then back to silence. Would be nice to actually hear from the new players in a wee video (unless I've missed it) to get to know them a bit better - I had to check on EP to see who we've actually signed because there's been so little chatter on the social media about the team. They should be tapping into the potential that's in the college and Abertay (if we're still partnered) to sort out the social media side of things with regards to content and videos. And whoever is in charge of the supporters club Facebook page needs their keyboard taken off them - a lot of the posts are so cringeworthy, like today's post about Andy. The least they could have done was get someone who's wise to social media to run the supporters page. And please fix the ******* bulbs on the scoreboard... Would that be the Happy Birthday Princess post? I saw that and went oh you cant say that!

Almost an hour since our latest signing and very few comments regarding it on any social media sites. I think it’s fair to say the club are losing when it comes to hype surrounding the signings and this can only be down to the lack of fan engagement

Almost an hour since our latest signing and very few comments regarding it on any social media sites. I think it’s fair to say the club are losing when it comes to hype surrounding the signings and this can only be down to the lack of fan engagement Might improve overnight with comments but they put out info about 4 things at once, player signing being one of them. No info on when it gets released no teasers then bam 9 hours later its released. How about you tease the player signing you then put out a teaser on who he is. Let folk know when it happens. Next day the ice is down posts go up Next day its about jersey launch plans Then its covid guidelines how about a update from the coach or a basic interview with the coach on player updates. Instead actually put a plan together about releasing the info not one tweet dumping 4 pieces of info but no indication when any of it will come out. These days folk read that if your lucky and keep scrolling the copy and paste tweet, instagram, facebook post simply isnt good enough. Im no marketeer or social media expert but it seems clear the person doing this stuff is guessing at best. It was a few days ago they replied to a fan question about new players with Folk quite rightly went from the club? are you not the club??? It's the Fife Flyers official Twitter page after all.

Sadly nothing will ever change as long people pay there money either for the season ticket or on the night I would be amazed if they have sold 250 season tickets

Would that be the Happy Birthday Princess post? I saw that and went oh you cant say that! That's the one. It's the kind of thing you'd post on your neebur's Facebook page followed by an embarrassing or stupid picture, not on an official supporters page. I've obviously touched a nerve - they've added '#embracethecringe' to the post, that's even bloody worse! It's a shame because they appear to be doing a good job with all the travel stuff, it's the other content that needs a bit of work.

Does anybody know if any of the team have arrived yet and if they’re doing any on ice or even off ice training together? I see plenty on Twitter from other teams, Nottingham are doing an army team building day out today, Cardiff are on ice…. Etc.

I would expect the guys to arrive early next week. I'm sure the club will be along anytime to give us all the relevant info..........

Sorry, it's not up to the club to confirm that imports are in town.
It's for those fans who hang about supermarkets to keep everyone in the know.
It's just lazy!

I haven’t logged in a long time but the recent lack of flyers social media made me think about a few things. I don’t want to watch our club die a slow and painful death so I’m going to do everything I can to stop it happening. Myself and my partner both have experience in art/graphic design and he does animation. If we were to make a social media page showing the flyers what a difference two experienced artists can make from simple Twitter posts to the quality of production in highlights. At best they would notice and make a change, at least flyers fans have something to engage with. Should it resort to this? No I don’t think so, but we think it’s important to show the club the media talent sitting in their stands waiting and ready to jump in and make a change.
