Dundee held a fans forum last night updating their fans on the club's situation
They basically said whilst the import limit is 14 they would struggle to ice a team with attendances are at their current level.
This is why as others have said on different threads that they are mainly only looking to sign young unattended players.
They also said that if a serious offer came in for the club they would consider selling..
For an overview see attached (taken from THF)
Do they not know import limit is just that and you don't have to sign 14
In recent years they've also done very well signing good young brits
I know it's easier said than done but they need to market the club to generate interest. Not just expect people to walk through the door.
If they'd done so the attendance levels won't have dropped to below sub 1000

I don't see why the club doesn't get more in attendances. They have a thriving local City, Camperdown is ideally placed on the edge of town (need to work on the car park though !) and the venue is in good shape. Perhaps we need to loan them a GM to show how it's done..

Perhaps we need to loan them a GM to show how it's done.. Without knowing what they actually do to attract new fans it's probably a safe assumption that ineffective or non-existent marketing is the main issue (see Edinburgh as an example of this to). Stars, Caps and Flyers would benefit greatly from putting some budget into using Facebook dark posts (it's extremely cheap and underpriced for the potential ROI) to target people within a certain radius of their rinks. They have to do it effectively and target the right people but by doing this there's no reason any of these teams (or even any EIHL team) couldn't raise their attendances which would obviously make their financial situations easier. |

I'd prefer a permanent transfer, I'm flexible on the fee. I'd happily try to raise a few thousand for them to take him. |

What, fill it up with freebies and drunks you mean? or something that can generate this sort of response from a fanbase, after arguably the worst on-ice performances in recent years. www.panthers.co.uk/content/season-tickets-close-last-years-record-numbers |

Thats because a lot of season ticket holders are all mouth and no trousers. |

Maybe the 3 clubs, Flyers, Stars and Cap should not have stayed in the Elite League.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing. |

This is another reason which, along with the structure/format of said league, keeps me away from attending games.Nothing excites me to get involved much now.Another negative news story that dents the sport.Being called a beer league is often defended by them.
