Oh you can't blame Edwards for wanting to go home

I still find it incredibly disrespectful, to fans of the team, that they can’t inform us of a simple addition, subtraction to the team. Some of us fans are deeply interested in the teams actions and have been for decades.

I’m not saying they have to inform us immediately about every little detail but, adding and subtracting players is a huge move for the team.

I just don’t get it, it seems to me that the team would want more fan involvement. What better way than to post such simple news as to what is happening with the roster. They are increasing their “Social Media Footprint” but, not on some recent roster moves, I just don’t get it!

It seems to me that the idea of all the new “Social Media” posts are posted to create fan interest. Yet, they keep those same fans in the dark about simple team news.

Most of us fans know that more team news equates to team interest which more than likely results in more fans in the seats.

A lot of controversy over the last few years has been the numbers of fans in attendance. I mostly agree with the posted numbers being roughly about 600 fans less. If, you have been to the games, for decades as I have, you know true and well with-in a few hundred how many fans show up.

I believe fans in the seats are down from last year so, Vipers, generate more interest. Your “Social Media” posts are great but, you can do better with updating your website more often also. Engage the fans, post prominent team news for us to get excited about. More excitement may add more fans in the seats.

I thought Fridays game was probably the most boring game to date. It definitely was not the norm. The team has been fun to watch, even the losses but, not much improvement lately. Losses of one or two goals are still losses and its getting old already.

This years looks to be a wash-out so, will have to wait till next year.

Go Vipers GO!

I liked Alex Edwards. I thought he brought some toughness, physicality and a bit of an edge to the Vipers. Was sad to see him leave. Wishing him the best in Grand Forks.

Well, how can he be listed on both rosters?, makes no sense!
