Yesterday B.C. Lions President Dennis Skulsky sent a letter to all season ticket holders. In the letter, he did everything but apologize for the team’s performance this year. The text of the B.C. Lions letter is reproduced below.
Today is a tough day. Unfortunately, after yesterday’s loss in Montreal, we are now officially out of the running to participate in the 2014 Grey Cup game here at home on November 30th. As an organization we are all disappointed, and we know we let you – our tremendous fans – down as our goal to play in another Grey Cup Championship at BC Place fell short.
Each season we strive to play an energetic, hard hitting, entertaining brand of football. Clearly our record and the type of football we played wasn’t acceptable or good enough. Further to that, we need to be better at home. Winning at home over the past number of years was a big part of our success, and we owe it to our loyal fans to regain our home field advantage at BC Place.
You need to know we truly do appreciate the outstanding support you, our most loyal fans, have provided our team. It’s comforting to know we have that kind of support and encouragement during these difficult times. I promise you we do not take that for granted and never will.
This morning, we immediately began to review this past season and where we need to improve. Rest assured, we will keep you informed as we roll out these plans.
Thanks again for being the best fans in the Canadian Football League.
With my best regards,
Dennis Skulsky
President & CEO
BC Lions Football Club
