Exactly , all dd mandates were paid by parents monthly for ice time , question why was it not used to pay for ice time, who was in charge of dcf !, pope ? Elson ? , shocking state of affairs ,
In respect of the failed launch of Cardiff Fire it would seem that by not communicating his intentions to the NIHL2 roster, Cudd did not have enough support for his coup to take the entire NIHL set-up away from the organisation formerly known as the DCF.
It will be tough but the new committee should be applauded for doing what is best for the junior club as a whole and not just for a select few. I believe Rob Shanahan made numerous attempts to negotiate with Cudd but was generally frustrated by a lack of response.
Some NIHL1 players may decide to move on however in the long run the club will be stronger even though their maybe a few painful results this coming season and maybe under Lyndon's direction we will see an end of certain players being allowed to play only home fixtures causing the negative comments from other NIHL 1 clubs that Cardiff were poor travellers due to the lack of numbers leaving the remaining travelling players on the receiving end of a hammering, for example last seasons results away to Invicta.
So in summary good luck to Rob, Nigel, Lyndon and the rest of the committee you have taken the right approach in the interests of the majority of current and future NIHL players.
