    From the article sounds like the title GM is a bit of a misnomer. Sounds more like he's President of Business Operations...

    I guess he's going to take over that side from Kiwi. It's a good move IMO.

    I totally agree. the Rochester Lancers indoor soccer team, where Randall was the last 4 seasons, lead their league in attendance for the last 2 years, maybe 3, even without a championship team. Hopefully Rich Randall will do the same for the Flash. From the article, it sounds like Alex Sahlen, unlike her husband, recognizes that the Rochester Market needs attention and cultivating.

    February 27, 2013 Rochester, NY) – The Rochester Lancers announced this week that they lead the MISL in overall attendance. Averaging over 6,000 fans per game, the Lancers twice broke single game attendance records this season reaching over 8,000 and 10,000 fans. In the second year of the franchise, the Lancers experienced a 13% increase in single game attendance average.

    Kelly and Michael show was on the TV in the dentist's office yesterday morning. WNY Flash had a commercial run - it was first class in quality and plugged JJ and Christen Press coming into town. Props to the Flash.

    Season Ticket Holders have been invited to a 'no kids' (21+ only ) get together after tonights game at Marshall Street Bar & Grill, which is the normal post-game gathering place. Should have a different vibe than most other team meet-and-greets.

    I am embarrassed to say that in my home town, winning the World Cup doesn't get you enough cred.

    I talked to someone who covers the team on a regular basis the day after the first US/Costa Rica game (which is when I found out that her contract was up at the end of this season), and the vibe they got was that Edmonds will not be back for next season. Of course, things can change, but it would probably take a bump in salary that the organization wouldn't want to give her for her to return.
