you are absolutely right. we had tons of problems with our situation down here. i think what frustrated most fans was that in stead of lending a helping hand, the calgary folks were in the press fairly regularly doing one of two thngs: hanging out with abbotsford people or badmouthing our locals for their lack of attendance. neither helped the situation and in all likelihood probably hurt any efforts to gain positive spin. i think it was particularly apparent in the local media as they seemed to develop a preference for running the negative doomsday stories and continually ignoring everything else flames related.

i am waiting for things to play out a little more before i really go into my thoughts about this all, but as i said, i think the cgy folks could have handled things better to help give us a fighting chance.
