Think is goalie nobody is asking for the future of the club to be put at risk, but from the outside looking in its does seem clear that we have the crowd numbers to easily put 11 imports on the ice without mortgaging the future.
That does not include any sponsor money or other forms of income, how often have we read posts off people/business's who have or do sponsor an import if we still have this then the crowd numbers are easily there to support a Full strength team.

How much are they investing to sponsor an import? Is it a few hundred to get their name read out on match day - in which case I'd suggest it's too cheap, and far too many players have fans as sponsors rather than businesses.
Flyers need to get a lot more corporate on this.

^^ what he said. Think that's the basis on which the Caps were able to bring in Martin Cingel. His wages are pretty much fully funded by a sponsor I believe. Just need a bit of creativity and business acumen.

Spot on daviejojo. I have been to a couple of home games this season and it was embarrassing. Nothing...absolutely nothing, has been learned from the shambles last season from team tactics (or lack of) to general management (or lack of). I simply can't imagine going back any time soon.

Yup :-) I love a good win as much as the next man, but in terms of how the club is managed, it only papers over the cracks. Delighted with the win of course, just think where we would be if managed correctly;-) |

It's time that Todd basically laid it on the line to Muir and Wishart. Either give me and Danny the tools to do the job, or take us back to the SNL and save us all the bother of getting agitated when things don't go well. 100% agree. In all logical sense, Fife should be up there, but Fife are holding Fife back. If the owners aren't going to go all out to ensure the coaches and team are fully equipped to compete as best they can, then you should not be in EIHL. Maybe they do have a half decent point though, you beat Dundee 5-0 last night. So maybe you just need to produce that kind of performance more often? Maybe that kind of result is what happens when everyone sticks to the system etc? |

The big difference last night was the second line scored 3 goals. Too often this year the tight games the first line have been closed down (they can't score every game, every goal) and the second line do nothing. The Brit line although I think aren't great are doing what they're supposed to in giving the top 2 lines a break. Dutaiume scored a good goal and threw a couple of hits however one more import that guarantees goals to play on the first or second would make a massive impact to the team, if fife ran with the full 11, they would have a threat on all 3 lines. That's the problem, only 1 more may not seem like it would make a huge difference but it would. More goals from more lines and also let's dutaiume and Stewart play on different lines which would have a massive impact on the coaching side of things.

I think Dolan proved that he plays better beside imports. 3 goals were scored witn second line players but only the first was with all second line forwards. Dolan's second was when he was on with the first line import forwards and Todd's was when he came back from a penalty with top line players on the ice. Having said all that the guys did then business. Personally I would like to see an import centre for the second line to play with Hogg and Dolan with Todd on the 3rd line and Danny playing defence on the 3rd line. This would give the local guys help and give us 3 good lines.

You might think its daft or whatever but it all generates money and they run with a full line up, who daft them or us? |

Don't think so, Dougie the owner was sitting with the Dundee fans on Saturday night, his mum and dad live in Tayport i think but are definately Stars fans, ironically at home games they sit on the away side near the commentator. lol
