No clues whether they are trying to sign an experienced brit d or going with 6 import d again. Or is reece being seen as one of the 6 rather than a spare. We’ve already got a Brit dman.

Yip, more experienced brit was what I was getting at, I can't see Reece being trusted with every shift within a 6 d set up, so would most likely mean double shifting and over working an import, and not sure it would be entirely fair to put that responsibility on him either. It would be very tight as ideally surely we would always want a spare?

See maybe I'm being daft, but when I look back last season was flung together, the season before they just got it all wrong, so hopefully at least recruitment wise lessons have been learned. My issue is they have a reputation of signing young Brits and not playing them, so not sure where the progressive moves of signing a Jones or Marr as an actual back up has went, that's probably the budget, but for me it's a must to speculate to accumulate with a few actual personalities and toughness, otherwise I can see it being a slow death.

I give up who cares anymore we will be bottom 2 anyway Hate seeing it from folk but I’ve said and done the same myself. I keep an eye on the league and do see what flyers do but even that’s falling away. Oh we going to be better we will do it right this time, Mike the equipment guy defending the club on social media saying it’s going to take time. Blah blah blah ( that’s not a dig at him I get where he is coming from) we have listened to this same song for years and the still have it on repeat. Be surprised if they break 1000 fans much this season. Jackie Moon would do a better job!

The narrow minded re-appointment of TD and GH despite their failings has made it difficult for me to get over enthusiastic and I’m sure there will be quite a few others in a similar frame of mind. Certainly can’t see previously lost fans rushing back

I think people forget that we started last season short because apparently “the markets small” but how come every other team can sign good quality players we have a decent budget so there’s no excuse , other than Kirkcaldy is kinda close to St. Andrews old course and fife being the oldest team in the league I honestly don’t think there’s anything that would attract players we don’t win anything and the coaches seem to love finishing last every season or near the bottom other than Jeff being transparent and talking a little on Twitter to fans there’s been literally no difference what so ever it’s laughable at this point

The worst thing that the Flyers management and coaches have done over the last half dozen years is to kill the enthusiasm, spirit and love that much of the fan base had for the FLyers.
The build up and start of a new season used to be a joyous thing, I couldn't wait for the new season to start, to see the team again and the new imports we had signed. Now........ honestly I don't think it's the Fife Flyers that play at Kirkcaldy it's Todd Dutiames Flyers and I don't like that very much. We need our club back and that's only going to happen with change.

Just speaking for myself but the second they announced Todd and Jeffs return I instantly switched off from the thought of paying for tickets again, which I’m gutted about but just have no enthusiasm for the club anymore, the signings so far aren’t inspiring, and that’s not a dig at them at all, maybe some gems but looks like we’re going to head down the same path as last season CV wise. I’m sure I won’t be the only 1 considering how far the crowds have dropped. Real real shame what’s happened to the club.

And hutchy says stuff on twitter today again, one of his comments was they had verbal offers of guys saying yes we will come then when it came to putting pen to paper nae no thanks. Why what's wrong with this amazing and long lived club

They obviously don't want to come to a bottom of the league club with no ambition and coaches who constantly through the players under the bus when things don't go well

Another week goes by, no PR from the club. Even in the last few seasons we'd get titbits from the FFP, even they've given up. There has to be more to PR than just announcing signings and season ticket sales?

Wonder if we will see any signings, announcements today? Never thought I would think this far less say it: does anyone actually care? Is it just me or has apathy finally set in to pretty much the entire fanbase?
