POST GAME: A message from head coach John Tripp

NEXT HOME GAME: The Clan are back in action NEXT SATURDAY when we face the Manchester Storm at Braehead Arena (7:00pm face-off). Tickets are available NOW via TICKETMASTER or by calling 0844 499 1700.

Hi Purple Army,

As many of you will already have seen, following tonight’s game against Fife, I carried out a post game interview with Clan TV.

I would just like an opportunity to explain my comments as I can appreciate having watched it back, it may have come across in the wrong manner.

To elaborate a little further, I thought everyone (the team and the fans) did an excellent job in keeping the Flyers players and fans quiet in Fife on Saturday.

I was proud of how we played and competed in what can be a very intimidating environment. It’s small, compact, an old barn and the atmosphere is different in that building.

I was in no way criticising the atmosphere or support we received tonight at Braehead Arena, it’s just different in our bigger building.

We have the best fans in the league here at the Clan and we need your continued support to get back on track.

As I mentioned in my interview, I thought we played a solid game tonight against a good Fife team. We are all just very disappointed we couldn’t give you the important win we all wanted.

Thank you for your support tonight, apologies if I angered anyone with my comments. We’ll be working hard this week to put things right and look forward to seeing you next Saturday against Manchester.

Tripper
