The board aren't interested in doing anything to promote the club because they know they will still get people buying season tickets or paying at the door because they enjoy there hockey fix .tam Muir senior must be turning in his grave at the way things are going at the auld barn at least he knew what it took to put bums on seats and he certainly wouldn't have tolerated what is going on now

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 Just the way Tam wants it and needs it, more people paying in with cash on game night, which is not so frequent now with online ticketing and designated seat, standing cash sales is the only way he can ' fixes the crowd' if you pay in with cash on the night you are not included in the official attendance. This tax free income has helped line the pockets of many players in the past, receiving a brown envelope with cash in it instead of a bigger contract. The last few seasons young Tam played he never signed a contract or was announced as signing, he was in the team every week announced as an additional skater, brown envelope in back pocket thanks to the cash paying game night supporters. I expect a few big name players to be announced after Fridays deadline, it always happens, I remember Basaraba being over here for a week, photos on his Twitter at Airport and we still did not announced him till after deadline.

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. Cynical reply coming: The owners wont give a damn. Many have tried in different ways to get the owners to try new stuff it might actually start and last a short time but then it disappears due to frustration lack of support etc. You know what though try it reach out to the club see what reaction you get. I honestly hope its a positive one that gives the club a boost and as you said the fans something to engage with. I wont be holding my breath for that reaction though.....

How long has passed since the last signing news, 3 or 4 days? I must have seen about 4 comments welcoming him but that’s about it. Does anybody even remember his name. I honestly don’t think folk can be bothered anymore, there’s zero buzz about the place with only days to go until the start of the season. Very little club to fan, fan too fan or even any hockey related engagement going on. Things need to change out there’s going to be a lot of empty seats this season.

Scotland also included indoor sporting events if they are unseated. See below from the BBC website.
People over the age of 18 will need to show they have had both doses of the vaccine before they are allowed entry to certain venues and events. They are:
nightclubs and "analogous venues" unseated indoor events with more than 500 people, even if some are seated unseated outdoor events with more than 4,000 people any event with more than 10,000 people in attendance

Wondering where the Covid protocols for this weekend that were promised to be announced have went to. Thought that should have been put out long before now, unless of course I’ve missed it. Not on the website as of two minutes ago

Wondering where the Covid protocols for this weekend that were promised to be announced have went to. Thought that should have been put out long before now, unless of course I’ve missed it. Not on the website as of two minutes ago It's on the web page you buy the tickets from... COVID-19 Guidance - Please note that access to the Arena and Fife Flyers Games will be determined by the latest Government Guidance. At present Face Masks will be required to gain entry to the Arena & whilst moving around the Arena. They may also be required during the game, but more guidance on this is expected soon. Please use the hand sanitisers provided, practice good practice, social distancing where possible and follow the one way systems. Your understanding & cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you show any signs of COVID-19 symptoms, please do not enter the Arena or attend Events.

I saw a similar post on Twitter from someone questioning the intelligence of the Flyers security when it comes to being sensible about this.

Personal information, private medical details etc.
