I see the social media machine has finally found a gear. Tickets tickets tickets.
2 import defencemen not in for the weekend a 3rd still waiting to be signed or announced. Are we heading into the weekend with 3 defencemen? Folk have asked on twitter facebook etc but no answers are forthcoming.
Nothing about the guys hitting the ice nothing apart from cryptic can you guess who these eyes belong too photos. Its something I suppose!
I assume the FFSC is basically just the flyers in disguise.

Nothing about the guys hitting the ice nothing apart from cryptic can you guess who these eyes belong too photos. Its something I suppose! I assume the FFSC is basically just the flyers in disguise. Do you ever actually stop moaning Yeah when the club actually becomes professional and actually treats their fans with respect. If thats too much to ask I can stop, and just become another once passionate fan who was happy to hand over my money but doesn't bother anymore. Like so many others. Whats the comeback "if you don't like it don't come". Trouble is thats the stance many have taken and the club, a gate based one by their own admission is suffering. While im moaning I still have a burning desire to see this club be what we all know it can be. Once the moaners such as me fall silent and give up I wonder what will be left. Guess Ill never be a happy clapper eh. Do me a favour look at every other EIHL club and then tell me how what they do is wrong and how the way the flyers do it is right.

Not interested in saying if your not happy don't go. But if you think for one minute moaning at every opportunity on here and others on Facebook or twitter is going to change how the club is run then your wrong. Correct things do need changed but moaning constantly will change nothing

But if you think for one minute moaning at every opportunity on here and others on Facebook or twitter is going to change how the club is run then your wrong. Correct things do need changed but moaning constantly will change nothing So we agree the club needs to change, so what was your point? I fully understand that moaning on here social media wont change how the club gets run, Ive moaned about it on here often enough. So things need to change but moaning or constructive criticism to put it another way wont do anything. So exactly what do fans do then. Nothing roll over and just be happy all the time? Again don't quite understand your initial post. The thread is about fan engagement or in flyers case the lack off. Fans from other teams take the P*ss its so bad. I think my post while containing moans was based around the lack of engagement until 3 days before the first game when fans have been asking for weeks for info. Then all of a sudden post after post about buy tickets (give us your money) its all very predictable and frustrating. The last 3 days 6 posts on twitter alone about buying tickets. Its takes folk asking about imports being in town for the game to finally get something to confirm 2 wont be there. so we are down 3 imports for the pre season games which are being charged at full price. Here is a moan coming, social media for the pro team is run by volunteers who rely on the few at the club in the know giving them info. Clearly they aint getting much help from these few bacause fans asking questions either get ignored or get answers in part. The twitter feed has already stated they wait to get info from the club before posting anything. It's not hard to improve hence the moaning. I'll post a video from an NHL team from the past few days. Forget its NHL its one we have done ourselves in the past, someone with an Iphone and basic skill could put out content like this which creates engagement with the fans show off the new imports on the ice for the first time, start to actually create a buzz in your fanbase.

I get this is the steelers but it does show how far we need to go in terms of engagement. It has to be said it's excellent content from Steelers TV.

I asked about peope who are exempt from wearing face covering and they said if you can prove you don't have to wear it they should let you in, but we know what the arsehole security are like Im sure im wrong but I was under the impression you weren't allowed to ask people to prove it. Personal information, private medical details etc. Here is what @fife flyers said to me after I asked the question. Hi Andrew. You won’t have to wear a mask if proof of exemption is provided. Thanks.

I like the 2 warm up tops best, give me them and a white version and I think they would be great. Got a bit of a nostalgic feel to them. Always better to see them in the flesh.

Cheers I’m with you on this, I thought shops weren’t actually allowed to push to see proof, I have seen a few times where someone walking in without a mask will be ask to put one on and a quick “I’m exempt” and that’s it. I think they’re allowed to report it to the authorities but not actually do anything.

Agreed about the warm up tops - you know the difference - sponsor logos kill the home/away tops - necessary evil but the warm up tops just look simpler and cleaner.
