Do the club keep home games postponed till restrictions are lifted
Or do they press on and allow 200 spectators in and how is this selected?
The fixtures is already crammed
Cardiff Devils played Coventry Blaze with no fans last night
Do we just stream the games?

Does the club ever announce how many season tickets they sell?
I would assume if they were to have 200 fans it would be the season tickets holders first but if there are over 200 ST holders I don’t know how they will decide who gains entry.

Quite simply, it wouldn’t be financially viable for the club to switch the lights on and put gas in the Zamboni with only 200 people through the door that handed over their money months ago. That money is gone. I don’t know what the answer is.

That money is gone. I don’t know what the answer is. That depends on what financial reimbursement the club is offered This is bigger than just the Flyers It effects the League The EIHL will need to help You can’t have the chairman’s team getting 9000+ fans at one game and Scottish Welsh and NI getting 0-200 fans |

Games off until crowds are allowed. I suspect the support packages from government are not straight forward to receive.
It's telling that Clan and Stars who pump social media hourly with forthcoming game details have been like Fife for the last week or so. Clearly all up in the air.
If it means too many games to catch up the league should be prepared to adapt the schedule. Yeah who am I kidding 😭

The Rovers did well with their webcast in similar circumstances, but there is a lot of goodwill towards them compared to Flyers. Believe the Rovers were getting around 8k sales for games v Hearts for example.
Would season ticket holders accept a free webcast pass for games with first come first served for the 200 paying crowd, for the good of the club?
Then if they came out and pleaded for fans to buy the webcast to keep the club going they may just be able to see it through this period?
But they are not good at asking for any help or communicating full stop.

Not what season ticket holders expected I’m sure but probably the fairest way though to be honest. Gets gate money into the club that they wouldn’t otherwise get if it’s was dished out to only season ticket holders

That's a surprise to me that any Scottish team is prepared to play with the restrictions in place. The hope clearly for us all up here is that we get to the end of the 3 weeks and they are removed otherwise this could all end in tears.

The 3 week circuit breaker lasted for nearly 4 months last year. |

There is no way the restrictions are getting lifted in a few weeks time if numbers continue here is Scotland. And no way the 3 Scottish teams can survive with 200 in the rink and and less watching at home
