With any luck, things will be quicker this time round. We're only of only 3 clubs I think it now, who haven't confirmed anyone yet, either coach or player.
Always expect us to faff about, but hopefully not.
Get the signings made, get them announced, and season ticket sales will flourish

was talking about this lastnight with the kids, think i'd like to hear, as soon as our season is finished, who our coach/coaches will be next season, that X imports have confirmed they will return, while Y are considering returning and Z have said no thanks. the names of players will be confirmed one every Monday in a flyers PR podcast/flyerstv release. any updates to numbers/potentials could also be spoken about. this would obviously require players to not go on social media to let the cat out the bag, so maybe too much to ask

I don't know why you're in such a rush. If you sign everyone now, your off-season will be extremely boring!

For all the years I've been following the Flyers, I've never known them to do anything other than leave it until the season is upon us to start announcing signings. Why would this year be any different?
Just because it's not in the press doesn't mean players are being signed. Makes sense to wait until the new season is approaching to generate more interest

I agree to a point, you want to announce a couple of key guys as part of the build up, but, you do want to get your season ticket sales working, you want to keep the town talking about Fife Flyers.
The danger of announcing nothing, especially if the guys have signed, and it's just being kept quiet, is it builds frustrations, doesn't actively encourage people to come forward and buy tickets, sponsorships etc, and you end up with stories and rumours galore which can be damaging to all concerned.
I would far rather they made an early announcement about the coaching position, and I'm talking now, lets not wait until the summer. Tell us who will be running the club, and signing the players, and then announce them as they sign.
It works for all the other clubs, I question why it wouldn't work for us :-)

First EIHL season Kris Drapers name was thrown around.
Rumours like that make the off season bearable.
You know everythings not gonna be true but a few wee beauties appear and make things interesting
