newcomer Bob Russell and Phil Branston The Flyers are an exciting hockey club that deserves chance The clubs last home game against Cambridge produced as good hockey as you would find anywhere and yet there were Only 150 people in the stands When the two clubs travell ed to Cambridge for return match Saturday there were 1700 spectators in the stands The Flyers have the poorest home attendance mark of any of the seven teams in the Senior Hockey League according to Crip So far this season the effib has averaged just 175 people for each home game The money the club receives from those people doesnt even begin to pay for the operating costs and the money doesnt drop out of the sky It has to come from somewhere It takes lot of money to run hockey club Cripps said Last season it cost us close to $25000 to run the team The small crowds are really starting to be discouraging We are in the sport because we like it but we cant afford to continually fork over the money year after year It cant continue much longer Cripps made it clear that the club is in no immediate danger of folding It definitely will finish the season but STEVE CRIPPS unless the club may have to drop fans stay away
