But, yes, we're now into our 8th month of this water-treading.

And, honestly, it asks a helluva lot of the fans and the players, both of whom have been doing their best, to show up.

Attendance is up, merch and concessions sales are presumably strong, the crowds are loud, etc.

The team should be doing better than they are, but at least they are in 2nd in a 12-team league with just about 1/3rd of the season to go..

One could easily almost forget that the owner promised to sell the team because now was the time and it was in everybody's best interests for there to be new ownership going forward.

Let's not forget. Let's get it resolved.

Yeha, I see it's Dec. 1st rather than Nov. 1st. Seemed like we were hardly able to enjoy a championship win before more uncertain and/or bad news.

What an exhausting 3 or so years being a fan of this club.

It's only felt like 8 months.... and another couple of years. =)

RCR could be a huge help by maintaining a large visible banner, etc presence in the stadium on game days, with an ongoing count, i.e, "### Days Without a Sale" etc

Agreed. We should not forget that it's possible to do multiple things at once -- the "Sell the Team" signage before the 2022 Semifinal, then cheering like hell for the Hometown XI and 18 during the match.
