Exactly every club pays for kit, and will have owners that pocket money. Fact is the majority of money that comes into every hockey club in the league is from the crowds. Fife almost double Dundees , Edinburgh, and hull attendance. If they ran this club properly flyers should be pushing 5th and 6th place not scraping to make the playoffs.

And surely the crowds would also be up, meaning win/win for everyone. 1960's business practices.

Stars don't have the same bills. For a start they don't pay to use the ice. Which when you think an hour of ice at the barn is over £200 an hour think of all the training durin the week. Pretty big outlay stars don't have there!

The same people own the rink that own the flyers pretty much, it's floating money between 2 businesses

Don't people realise that Caps,Stars and the rest will have those bills too .................... SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN, i was told tonight from the family of a caps player they are struggling with cash, he broke a stick in anger and was made to replace it himself, the whole team had a lecture about the cost of sticks apparently, he also reckoned the team were travelling from edinburgh tonight in cars with the kit in a transit van, they also put supporters on the team bus to away games

Edinburgh ice rink are shareholders in kdy rink. Lot is conjecture on here, most of it far fetched to suit an agenda. We have no idea of costs, sponsor money into flyers of other teams. Why bother? What will be will be with the current regime. If anything I get the impression fighting against it all will only make heels dig in further.
We have average crowds. Punching above our weight is top 5. Our youth development has flown the coop a long time ago and may be years before we see anything on that front. I'm gladful we are in the top flight, living within our means and I'm sure we will have glory days again. More likely playoffs than league but that's life. Look at most sports leagues around the world. Very rarely does the under funded team win. It does happen (Raith for example) but it is the exception rather than the rule. My hopes are around a playoff success one year when we strengthen close to deadline and rip it up. That's our likely best scenario
Beer fuelled rant over !

Yeah there was a blue transit van there but no team bus. I commented on that to my wife when we went in. Do those branded sticks they use cost more or are they branded to hide the fact hey are cheap?

They're sticks cost about £5 each and are Unbranded. And the players wonder why they are always breaking after a hard hit. Every fife game they havnt brought a bus through Also to save on money.
