The General Manager Garry White of the Gander Flyers told the GANDER BEACON Sunday the following –which implies they are hanging by a thread.
“We’ve cut a lot of expenses compared to previous years, and we thought it would make us successful this year. However, we didn’t anticipate the drop in revenue that was waiting for us,” he said. “Our commitment was to try and finish the regular season, but the financial situation we are in and with declining interest, it might make it impossible. In its current state we can not proceed, that’s how we are looking at it.”
