Romfo Returns...
- Thread starter Iceraider
- Start date
Seems a bit odd how the devils site and the walesonline site sort of have conflicting stories about how scott will fit into the team. Is he just injury cover performance issues? or will all games? I would go with the devils site and say he's mainly going to be here for cover and performance issues and so we wont see THAT much of him.
Either way its great news for the team and great news that after everything hes happy to come back, clearly the Devils dealt with the situation well from the beginning or he would have told them to go hike.
I disagree with the comments saying 'good to see they realised they were wrong..... ' I dont see how its got anything to do with them thinking oh no we got this wrong. I would say its more the fact, romfo is available due to university, and its helpful to us to have back up cover. Burge must have decided he can pull a bit more from the pocket to ensure the team have the safety in numbers.
all that said, welcome back scotty, hopefully we will get to see what you can do again.

Personally I think its more of there's no other option, he wants to carry on with his studies, I reckon he probably won't be on much money, and hasn't been 're-signed' as such, and not how we would normally interpret being re-signed ! As someone else said, maybe 'pay per game'
Maybe its because of Stoney not icing, maybe rotate him and alex
Good luck Scott, welcome back

Flippin' marvellous news - welcome back Scotty! 
Can't wait to see you back on ice with the Devils. Very impressed with the way it appears the Club has looked after Scotty with finding other options for him. More than can be said for a certain other team that didn't appear to look after a released player this season!

Surely a Belfast fan can't be making comments about teams being over the wagecap ?!?!??!? :lol:
How many imports have Belfast had on their books all season?
Over the festive period we have been getting crowds of 500 more than we were when we had to release him. With Nottingham this weekend and Coventry the next, you would expect two more 1500+ attendances to come.

My point being Coventry, Nottingham and Sheffield draw in the bigger crowds, but you only have 3 weekend gates against those teams until the end of the season. I suppose if you keep hammering Hull and Edinburgh at home people might choose those, but you are bound to get lower crowds (especially travelling support) against those just from previous experience.
I class myself as a casual fan (down here) and there's only 3 games between now and the end of the season I plan on going to as they just don't seem appealing, mid-week or otherwise.

Isn't the difference though Holl_5 that most people in Cardiff/surroundings will be Devils fans and so aren't casual fans.
Think it's been mentioned before that our crowds are always better after Christmas, towards the end of last season we were averaging 1800 or so, well above the break even point.
I'd expect our crowds to increase further this season also...

Great news. Welcome back Scott and thank you Devils, now I believe we really are moving forward.
Maybe he will now get that MOM he deserved just before he left last time!
Anyway, On the tactical side, maybe it will be G who benchs himself and he is the one to cover injury / loss of form rather than Romfo. Not that i'm say G has not been in good form, but that would be real progress having a full-time coach watching from the bench?
