Fife Flyers change face-off time for some Sunday games

Fife Flyers have confirmed plans to start some Sunday games earlier this season.

The club has moved five fixtures from 6:30pm to 5:30pm in a bid to make them open to fans with school-age families.

Other Elite League clubs have already opted for an earlier start on Sundays. While the move was welcomed by many fans – who saw it as a key way to generate bigger crowds on Sundays – others, including some season ticket holders, said they would be adversely hit by the change.

Flyers have traditionally played home games on Saturday nights, with Sunday fixtures always less popular among fans.

But the 2012-20 schedule gave them an even split of games across the two nights, prompting a re-think by the club.
