Just for the sake of throwing my two cents in, I for one don't hate Vasteras. I would play for Vasteras if I hadn't promised Greg I'd spend my career in Seattle. By the time Greg left and I would have left Seattle, I was sick and tired of Ball's career and decided to retire. Now though I don't hate Vasteras, I do agree a change in scenery for the franchise would be a refreshing change. The fact that it becomes a fresh new franchise would make it a more atractive destination to a lot of old and new members minds which could only help the franchise. Everyone wants to be apart of history and this could help upstart the franchise that still holds all of Vasteras's records but is just run under a new name.
For those fighting to keep Vasteras there, I really don't see your points. I understand that Vasteras has a history (a poor history, but history none the less) but what would moving the franchise really hurt? I feel like this has turned into a battle for pride and you will always battle each other if the franchise moves or stays put. The only way a move of the franchise would hurt the league is if everyone who was for maintaining Vasteras turns face and vows to never go to the new franchise which only makes you the newer version of the current Vasteras haters. Sadly this will never end because neither of the side will ever give up on this and nothing will get done.
I'm all for the relocation of Vasteras. As long as the BOG, Blue Team, and Boubabi can come to a conclusion everyone can agree on, I don't see a problem with moving the team.
