To sell or not to sell. That is the question.
With the vote-to-vote meeting coming up soon and having had the dust settle a bit on what was the 2014/2015 season what are your thoughts on selling this team?
Do we believe Robison when he says the team will stay put (Chilliwack)? Do we believe Robison when we says local ownership is the preferred option (Saskatoon)?
We have a board with some newer members finally doing some things we like.Aare we foolish enough to believe that moving forward through the years there will always be a board who does nice things or are we smart enough to realize it only takes one election at the AGM to take us back to the type of board we've had 5 years prior to this one?
Yes, time to roll the dice...

Yes, I think this is the deciding factor. It might be the right group currently in the BOD but the problem is there is still no more money. Maybe this group came in a bit late but if you can't pay your bills and have a deficit each and every year, the team will never have success no matter how good the people on the BOD are. Does it really matter if the team stays if Lethbridge if only a handful are supporting and going to the games? This team and players deserves to operate like a normal functioning business with money to spend. It's time....
