[quote=""preeths""]And those leagues which try, such as the PIFL, find themselves where?[/quote] A respected league that completed a full schedule of games. The PIFL did not drop games during the season. Maybe they should have had a no back-out clause once the sched is put out or...

I have always advocated before final acceptance into any league 1] Provisional acceptance and within 2 wks if not sooner 2] Vetting of the owner as to Character & Financial Solvency A) Performance Bond in place to complete the full season for 1st yr team B) Arena contract in place C) An acceptab...

I expect Lehigh Valley is getting calls from JM to join the AIF
with the close travel.
ASI (Reading, Pa), York, & Philly makes for short LV bus trips.

Could Lehigh Valley be looking at the AIF?
With York, Philly and ASI within a short drive.
Travel costs in the PIFL might be of concern.

[quote=""DFWCC""]Shakes coming? AIF to loose one? gain one? As an East Coast team set to go dark?[/quote] Saginaw is out. Possibly 2 more may leave. I suspect Chicago Blitz would want to save on travel and Buffalo Lightning might also be tempted to make the jump. Expecting Trento...

No doubt, 1835 is not a money maker but considering the on field performance well... it could've been worse ala Trenton Att no.s. Erie must have some good sponsers. I don't know what loss or if they had a loss. I know they flew to Columbus Ga so that's quite a whack. I'd be willing to bet Erie loss ...

There are several reasons I've heard why Erie has left the PIFL. Be assured it had nothing to do with their poor performance on the field. For such a poor record (what? 2 - 10 ) they still drew a respectable 1835 fans per home game. Competition wise the PIFL is excellent. There are other reasons. Wh...

I doubt it.
Expect the Buffalo Lighting to strike a more westerly Alliance.
