Luis_Rancagua Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 In the latest article on Canoe.ca of August 6 2004, A-League President Dave Askinas said that he remains hopeful of soccer's future in Edmonton. He also went on to say: "...we've had a couple of calls on the men's team from people we think are expressing a legitimate interest. We're looking for someone who will be able to run a team much more efficiently..." This is despite the fact of the Aviators debt being over $600,000. This is indeed an indication that who ever buys the men's Aviators the team is expected to have a name change. Let's hope that there' any truth to this. I will hate to see Edmonton without an A-League presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmac Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I am not sure who those folks are who apparently have called the A-League offices "tire kicking" in expressing an interest in the Men's team. I hope the rumours are correct but I doubt them very much. Would not be as surprised to see some community interest in the women's side but that is an entirely different proposition.

bmac Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 When I responded to Luis' post I had not read the other thread below dealing with the debts of the Aviators. I regret, I agree with Zerr's pesimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoyleG Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Yet can we expect teh Women to keep it up given that it's not a long season? I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
