Hmmmmm call me a cynic, but is this just a butter up before the news that no new imports are coming. If no new imports are coming in its only because the coach and his assistant have been unbelievably unlucky in their recruitment aims. And thats a fact....

Allan Good to see you coming on here and giving a frank exchange. Key issues as fans see it,you will have read them all many times over. 1, a level playing field with other teams from day 1,if not why not come out and be transparent. 2,Match night experience the PA system is shot,i sit in section D and you cant here a thing just a mumble. 3,take my hat off to the current anouncer, not many of us would have the balls to do it but he dosent make the connection that is required in an arena atmosphere. 4,The end of this season hopefully there will be news of contract extensions, the fans are really fond of all the guys we have and would be delighted to have them ALL back.Tradditonally post season the players are left in the dark and left hanging and end up elsewhere. Surley if there was early pre-season announcements it would only increase season ticket sales.The big three wont be slow in asking atleast 7 of our current squad to come and join them. Good Hockey players are not 10 a penny.Thats why as you have said we have been unluckey with recruiting an 11th import. 5,look at pack the barn crowd, rip-roaring success put the product on the ice and the fans will come. Nottingham played The Clan Friday,Caps Saturday and Flyers on the Sunday not so long ago their huge travelling support enjoyed the Fife game the best because of the atmosphere,they have another Scottish weekend coming soon we should be targetting another massive crowd to get behind the team and beat them this time round,again if we are at full strength it would be close to capacity. There is alot of rubbish spouted on here at times due to frustration and lack of communication from the management,but on the other hand there is a lot of good things said also,hence the reason why you guys are now communicating on the un-official forum.

[Casey Haines has an ankle injury that's recovery time was obviously not clear at the time of the injury.
The process of bringing an import to the club takes longer than a day or two.[/quote]
I can vouch for the injury. I went over on my ankle 5 months ago and to this day it still bothers me !
The entire foot has to be well rested. even walking down the stairs ( this is how I went over ) I am so much more cautious ! I went back to work the next day, the biggest regret I ever made.

I appreciate they want a decent fit but it's only fife that seem to struggle with that.

Just a gentle reminder from your friendly moderators to keep the thread on track. A few posts were bordering on inappropriate comments aimed at 1 or 2 individuals.
Big Brother is watching :-)

Hmmmmm call me a cynic, but is this just a butter up before the news that no new imports are coming. Seriously? That's how some of us feel. There is never any real news, so we always assume the worst. Haines was injured on 31 December. We've not replaced him (let alone McAlpine and Wands) while other teams seem to pick up players in a matter days. Can you guarantee we are getting an import in, Allan?

We have just over a week to get someone in, but in all seriousness, we really need them in for this weekend. It's going to be hard enough trying to take Devils and a trip to Edinburgh, but if we go short again, I fear for the worst alas. Nothing being tweeted from any of the usual sources about a new guy, but I suspect, if we don't hear by sort of 6pm tonight from the ffp, then there will be nobody in.
We can't drop to bottom this weekend, but we could very easily be 9th. That said, we could also end up 6th or 7th (6th is unlikely), it's so tight down in our conference, that some additional help in terms of bodies is essential.
