Guarantee Win Over Canton

[Free Agent Fan]

FREEZE OWNER GUARANTEES VICTORY ON SATURDAY


(Erie, Pennsylvania; April 18, 2007) David Hodas, owner of the Erie Freeze Football Club of the American Indoor Football Association released the following statement:


"The rivalry between the Erie Freeze and Canton Legends goes back to the earliest genesis of our brand of Indoor Football. The teams are combatants on the field and occasionally our organizational differences have spilled outside the lines of the gridiron.

The 2007 season has not been the kindest to the Erie Freeze. As a promise to our fans and the City of Erie, I wish to unequivocally announce my support of the coaching staff and our players who wear the crest the Freeze championing our area each and every week certainly for the love of the great game of football.

Despite our team's record, I feel that Saturday night is a tremendous opportunity for our franchise. My belief in our team is so strong that I have no qualms in announcing that I am guaranteeing an Erie Freeze victory over the defending champion Canton Legends on Saturday, April 21 at the "Igloo" in the Tullio Arena.

The Legends have never defeated the Freeze on our home turf and they will not on Saturday. This is an awesome proposition for our fans and for our team. There is no loss of respect between the two teams, but with the amount of player movement between the squad and its inherit baggage, not to mention last season's debacle over "stealing a playoff game" still rings strong with our team and fans.

My promise is this, 'I, Dave Hodas, guarantee a victory over the Canton Legends on April 21. If the Freeze fail to win, a possibility that I don't foresee, any ticket holder will be eligible for a free ticket for a game in the 2008 season. Your ticket stub can be redeemed with a voucher for a game ticket next regular season. This offer precludes or excludes any other offer and has no cash value.'

With this guarantee, I know our fans will be here to cheer our team to victory, concluded Hodas."

So really how many fans you think will hope for the loss to get a free ticket for 08? your 1-8 what's another loss?
Good way to draw fans to the Game, wish I could make the game, when we win I Would get a free ticket for 08 game

When Dave said he guarantee victory, I thought he was going to bring in the Refs from Reading (just having fun Reading Fans)

[Coach Bernie]

you still won't let go.. ....wow a gaurentee !!! that should fuel this rivialry a little

[UnoBomber]

At this point, he got nothing to lose. Although guranteeing victory is a pretty gutsy call. Probably he looks at it this way. By the time the '08 season has come around, the people with the tickets have probably lost them or just will forget about the offer completely.

That catch looked good to me, but I didn't see the video

That's awesome. I was hoping they would do something like this during the season. The Otter's have this same promotion.

Lucky for Dave, I'm going to this game and I have never been to a game where Erie loses.

They are doing this to boost ticket sales. When I went and go tickets today I had no problem getting first row, center, of section 7 in the $15 range. Usually, those are gone by now because those would be considered best available. The same seats were available on the other side of the Tullio, but I don't like to sit behind the bench.

btnexpress; nope I never let it go ; but I don't want to hi-jack this tread. But to make this game fun I'll put up a frame picture from the game. If the Legends lose I send a framed picture from the game of their choice to the winner. Who and What will an Erie fan offer

[Fez]

I like it! Guarantees are fun and a way to maybe get a few extra fans to show up. Erie is going to lose, but still I respect the move. Good work by the Freeze. Hopefully it will be a good game, so that Erie fans who are new, will still come back.

BEST RIVALRY IN THE AIFA!!!!!

[TNmike]

Just got my tic (front row sec 5). Guy standing behind me told me this is his first Freeze game and was asking me what the best place to sit where you can get a full view of the field.

Also heard the morning show on classy talking about the game this weekend.

Just to add, I believe there is something going on at the Warner this weekend so you may want to come early for a parking spot.

Scooter sounds like a deal to me, see ya Saturday
