My Mail Call...from Chur (pronounced coor) Switzerland

Hey everyone,

Just got word from our owner that the EuroBowl final will be played [July 21st, full broadcast coverage world-wide] in Vaduz, Lichenstein. This is about an hour away from Chur and will save us from the 13 hr bus ride to play in Vienna.

The stadium is much bigger and seats about 6200 people, which they are expecting to fill; should be a great atmosphere. Not only did we move for a bigger arena but also after our game vs Zurich on Saturday [June 23], our home field is closed for the summer in order to, I kid you not, give the grass a summer break. I could not possibly make that up. Some of our fields that we practice on are as well being closed in order to rest the very sensitive Swiss grass.

As for upcoming games. The other Zurich game has been cancelled for good [did not play May 20th because of religious holiday - Acension weekend?]. We will play Winterthur [spring rainout] on Tuesday of next week, but no starters will play at all. On june 30th is our Swiss League semi final and then the following week will be our Swiss league final.

Exciting times for this organization and city. Have noticed an increase in attention and people noticing the Broncos much more this past week.

Hope everyone is well, love you guys.

Zurich is the best Swiss competition. Remember, they were holding out for a make-up game with the Broncos a day after Calanda's semi-final Euro game. There is a lot of stubbornness, malice, orneriness, ethnic dislike, not so much on the field, but in operations of European football. Hope the boyz can focus on tommorow because this July Euro Bowl has been front & center all week. The press has finally moved from headline like "innsbruck Raiders lose" [Austria is the football power] to "Swiss Broncos host Euro Bowl".
