Hutchy has taken to Twitter to interact with fans about what’s keeping people away. Thinks it’s been well communicated to the ownership already but good to see someone from the club take some form of initiative. Unfortunately with our owners nothing is going to change but hutchy has put his email up and asking people to write to him. Who knows the penny might drop one day!

Totally agree, hats off to him for his interaction and clearly his heart is in the right place but the foundations of the organisation need to change and as blunt as it is, that means Tam Muir, Jack Wishart, Todd Dutiaume and Hutchy himself. Until then, it will be the same old, same fan base, same style of players getting signed, Same refusal to get rid of players not meeting the standard, same style being played, same match night experience, same communication problems…etc

I messaged him just before he put that tweet out about mailing him
Would love to come back Jeff, not many games left and the table doesn't lie. We have some very talented guys in our team but why is it most seasons we don't play as a team. Really thought about coming tonight or tomorrow but not gonna. Love the team been fan since 84 and I hope we stay in the league and get up that table in seasons to come, I will definitely be at a game before end of season. But last for 2 full seasons in a row that is not the Fife Flyers we should not be last
And his response
Cheers Andrew for your thoughts, I think being negative doesn’t help though, I think a lot of your posts are negative. We put a team together in six weeks during a pandemic, our whole team suffered from covid in January. We are lucky to have a team on the ice. Helpfully you and others come back, but that’s up to you. Have a good evening.

What an absolutely ridiculous take!
I’ve been to all but 2 home games this season and a few away games - if we should be lucky to have a team on the ice at all then the price should reflect that!
No harm is putting a cheap team on the ice because of the havoc the pandemic caused, but TELL THE FANS and the actual supporters will likely understand and happily turn up to help keep the club going!
When the management don’t appreciate the fans and their genuine concerns then what luck do we have. Was on the fence about getting my first season ticket next year but definitely not unless there are changes - thought it was coming from the board more but clearly the coaches have their part to play.

Have a good evening. Wow, what an absolute sh!t attitude from one of our coaches. He's basically saying like it or lump it and your opinion doesn't matter because you are negative? Talk about burying your head in the sand as a Coach. Are they too dumb to realise that the majority of the fans are correct in what we have all said this season, as the numbers through the door prove that they all (coaches and owners) have got it massively wrong this season, but they are too dumb to even admit or acknowledge this fact? I'm the same as you, I've been a long time supporter of the Flyers but the product on the ice this season has been way below par and one of the worst teams I have ever seen in all my time supporting the Flyers. using the 6-week recruitment window nonsense as an excuse doesn't wash with me and they need to stop using this as an excuse. They know what the standard of the league is and should have planned much better. Glasgow Clan were in a very similar position and they haven't done too bad with their recruitment. It's a lazy excuse. I would have a lot more respect for them if they just come out and apologised and said we fecked up this season, but we will make sure we do a lot better next season.

It's not just this season they have screwed up its been every season since we entered the league.before the season starts you can basically say most of the import forwards will be just over the six foot mark not very physical and to light weight.the d men the same not many over six foot not very physical and light weight.if everything is going well the so called coach takes all the credit if it's going badly the players get throwing under the bus.what us fans are going on about this season you can look back through every forum since we entered the league and you will see most of the same gripes and complaints about how we are supposed to be a gate based team but do nothing to attract new punters through the doors.hutchys attitude just sums up how much the flyers fans are taken for granted by the coaches and the management

Ive tried to stay off this forum and just look in as a guest ......HOWEVER time to say something.
I thought Jeff was a good guy to talk to and remember he spoke to us at our hotel in Cardiff for almost an hour last season BUT that reply to Colorado Flyer has just sunk him without trace for me.
Forget this season and the lame excuse for recruitment what about previous seasons where the wooden spoon prize now seems resident at FIA. Its a job for the boys attitude at Flyers if you look at players history ...... does your pal play hockey cos we have a job for him here.
If there are negative vibes at Fife its maybe linked to the fact that less than half the crowd remain, results are awful, game plan that the players dont seem to stick to is useless anyway, im sick of seeing dump and chase. Lightweight players being bullied year after year.
There are loads of problems at Flyers most of which would not be hard to fix but its still the Same old Same old tat year on year.
Jeff and Todd have had MORE than a fair share of the reins its well past time for a change, to put it into perspective you could take any fan out of a seat / make them coach and still be last but save money.

Yeah I think the 6 weeks c*** is lame, how long did clan have once they knew they had secured the rink less than that and they are mid table, Dundee have less funds than us they are mid table are a very poor start. It's plain and simple tight ass tam doesn't wanna put money out for this he wants the rink full so he doesn't have to, but you see they have been found now they have had time because of covid to sort stuff in the back ground but have refused to same old same old, the happy clapper go and if your negative they lash out at you we'll ken what I dae it anyway because I know I get a rise out them. End of the day like said our players are too lightweight and not physical enough our coaches think small speedy guys wins out well its never been proven right so far

In last night’s programme Hutchy is saying that he will be answering all emails and that there are some “nuggets in there that we can take on board”. He also says that there have already had discussions about how to manage this and that more communication was part of the feedback and that they are looking to try to get that right for the summer and next season.
He also says that talks have been had with some players about the potential of coming back and are looking to be going into the summer with a core group of players and build a team around them.
Like everyone else I have heard all this before, but at least Hutchy seems to be telling the fans more than we have been told for many seasons. We shall see what happens over the next few weeks/months

Suggesting that he’s going to be sticking around in some role. It’s management that need to change first before building any team. They’ve had their chances to make changes and haven’t
