I dont normally post on here but I do enjoy reading the forum and the usually knowlegable comments made by people who genuinely care about their club.There are though a lot of negative posts which can be repetitive and wearing although this is obviously part and parcel of a forum. However a post tonight has completely hacked me off to such an extent that I actually feel moved to post!
I refer to the post a couple up which consigns us to a 9th or 10th place finish this season. Also apparently Edinburgh are going to win the conference despite the fact they are only 1 point ahead of us but have played 3 games more. Well i'm sorry sir but i sometimes wonder if you are actually a Flyers fan.
You have banged on again and again and again ....zzzzzzzzzz about an 11th import. We have read your extensive and if i may be so bold your utterley repetetive posts regarding the terribly poor running of the club. We have had this week after week after month. While some of your opinions may have merit i don't agree with most of them. I don't know if you see yourself as some sort of spokesperson for the masses but you do not speak for me. I for one am delighted to have
Elite League ice hockey back in Kirkcaldy. I have thoroughly enjoyed going to the rink and watching the calibre of players that have been brought over by Todd and Danny. Yes there is always room for improvement but if the Flyers continue to improve year on year then the majority of fans will be happy particularly considering we are effectively a 2nd year club. I read a post from you a few weeks ago stating that in your opinion Flyers fans are mugs for going to Dundee. Well sir i take exception to that remark as i am no mug. I am a Flyers fan who wants to support his team whether it be at Kirkcaldy Dundee or Edinburgh. If Dundee are able to fund an import on the back of my £15 then that is not my concern. Watching Dancing on ice or the x-factor on tv or supporting the Flyers - a no brainer to be honest.
A big shout out to Mr Muir and Mr Wishart from bringing Elite League hockey back. Both are ridiculed in many quarters which i've always felt is completely unwarranted. No doubt they make some money but as far as i'm aware thats allowed in business and quite frankly i don't see any consortiums or multi millionares breaking the door down to take over.
Well we now have the fabled 11th import you've been banging on about forever in a day. The conference couldn't be tighter and we are extremely well placed. The addition of Podge and the return of Bryan between the pipes at the weekend gives us great impetus for the run in. I look at the other Teams around us and see nothing to fear. For me its not Edinburgh for the conference or Braehead who according to most are so much better than the rest of the Conference and the automatic winner. All i see is - Club in disarray due to gross mismanagement.
For me its Flyers for the Conference. As you call yourself a Flyers fan sir all i can say is shame on you !
