How much would Fife cost?

[daviejojo]

Don't think they'd sell to be honest, just to be difficult. Or if they got wind of it being a Lottery Winner, you could treble the asking price before starting.

I'd do it though, and we'd defo be a team to be reckoned with

I wouldn't publicise that i'd won the lottery if I did win it. I'd keep it low key and i'd let the directors continue this year. I'd spend the time getting a plan in to place to see the club, and ice hockey in general, grow at FIA. Look at ways to improve the kids coming in to learn to play etc and work on it that way.

In all honesty, if I won the Euromillions and was going to buy the Flyers, i'd be building another Ice Rink aswell. New facility, make it a must be place to go. Stick 2 ice pads in it so that kids can get on the ice 3 or 4 times a week instead of 1 or 2 and take it from there.

Yes, i know, i've given this a lot of thought but you tend to when you daydream as much as I do.

Firstly, the car park is the responsibility of the rink so it should be them repairing it. Secondly, we already pay an entrance fee to get into games. Should the supporters then be paying for another import? What's to say the club can't afford more imports?

Both valid points. But MKL do it anyway because they want to help the club. But then again, they don't have stupid directors (at least not that i'm aware of)

I'm not so sure about the car park, but as we all do when we want something in life, we work out a way to get what we want

But these guys dont want to help they just want to moan

That's right Killer, we all want to moan and that's all we do all day. We never have anything positive to say about the players, the coaches, the staff or the management. We pay our £15 like a bunch of pricks to sit in the seats and moan. We don't cheer and we don't back the guys at all.

Are you done yet?

Anyone else find it ironic that while most of us are happy to have a new forum (and have temporarily became happy clappers) the only moaning that I have seen is by the person complain we only moan. Shame really that some take pleasure from pouring cold water on other people's happiness. ;D

[daviejojo]

Luckily, I never moan or complain.

I'm the picture of utmost tranquility :-)

Yeh, how dare so many of us want the club to be the best it can. How dare we want to compete without one arm tied behind our backs!

It beggers belief that there are people happy with the current situation!!

[flyer007]

Everyone who is a passionate fan of the flyers wants to see the best for the club and the majority of those fans have a great deal of hockey knowledge and are forum members. Its a bit harsh to say the least putting us all in the same bracket killer especially when your son is constantly praised for his effort and play on the forum.

The truth is without seeing the accounts, wages and indepth finances of the club we cannot say for sure that we can afford another import on our current attendances or indeed what the price of the club is. All we can do is speculate but the fact of the matter is we would all run the club differently the directors are successful businessmen and I feel in safe hands with their ownership however, the relationship they have with the fans is atrocious and it was made worse by closing
the forum. This is what they need to address or they will push people away and end up running an amateur club again. The SNL is not what Fife were destined for.

[daviejojo]

Good poing flyer007. The key was transparency which led to a complete lack of trust. Nobody believes the crowd numbers, nobody believes we can't afford more guys etc, but at the end of the day, their relationship was dreadful with the fans, and to be honest, they didn't care less about it.

I offered my services on more than 1 occasion to improve this, and do studies and papers etc, and my reply to these offers was...........yip, you guessed it, no reply!!!! That says it all.

If they were honest, and up front, the forum would never have got like it was, it was driven by pure frustration.

That's a bit of a generalisation. I know folk that have helped or have offered to help, some have been ignored or turned away. So from their perspective, it's the club that doesn't want to be helped.

Sorry but that's stupid. A club in which it's fans do not moan when they are last is a team that does not have any fans (looking your way Edinburgh )

Don't shoot the messenger but Diageo has called numerous times too, looking for some sort of sponsor package but never got a call back either This info came from someone from Diageo!
Needless to say they have given up trying.

At the moment that is just hearsay. Until Allan or a member of the Fife Flyers comment then it's all down to speculation and he says,she says
