The Reading Royals minor league hockey club, last year’s
Kelly Cup champions.
The team has been in Reading
since its inception in 2000 and is currently owned by SMG, the management firm
that oversees Reading’s
entertainment venues and the Berks County Convention Center Authority. Apparently they want out because attendance
is way down and the owners aren’t making a profit.
Hmm. Perhaps this is
more because Reading’s
economy is still so horrendous that less people can afford to go to games. Maybe the owners should be helping figure a
way to improve that rather than bailing on one of the good things the city has.
It was reported that they will attempt to find a private
buyer that will keep the team in town.
Let’s hope they do. Reading needs things to
be proud of not more memories of what once was.
I was going to say I have twenty bucks and ask who wanted to
go in with. But now I have to use that
as part of my quality of life fine for having the audacity to plant flowers in
the yard. Still, if you want to go
together and buy the team, I’ll be with you as soon as I win my appeal against
the city. (See earlier rant for what I'm on about.)
