Mr. Jackson just called me this evening from Arkansas. He is with our turf RIGHT NOW. He told me that the trucks will be arriving in town Friday night around 9pm with the new field and they will be installing it between 12am and 3am on Saturday due to the Kenny Chesney concert. He has assured me that things are going to get better in Columbia and that he is committed to keeping football in the Colonial Center. More to come....it's late and I have to work tomorrow.  |

Welcome AugustaSpartans! I've been to your web site and it looks like you guys have your stuff together in that league!
I'm especially fond of your youth football program. I've wanted to start something exactly like that for indoor football and our youth.
Keep coming by, we're thrilled to have you on board!

This is good news. As long as a current owner is speaking with the fans, that's a good sign. I still have the faith Bill, unlike others on the forum. I was upset that the game got canceled/postponed on Sunday and Wednesday, but it was alright, I got DirecTV HD for free so it's all good  . My wife will be there on Saturday to see OUR turf, even if it is the "Time Warner Cable Field" lol. |

Hopefully Bobby Jackson and the rest of the management can keep it together and follow through on what they said they'll do.
Glad to see Tony from the Spartans in here. Folks I can say the Spartans have always wanted to be first class (even in their early days of the AIFL) and they are proving it. The Spartans genuinely want to see indoor football thrive.

Im touched folks The Augusta Spartans are no different than any other team except in one way. We have a staff of five fulltime folks who work their tailoff and 32 folks myself included who draw nothing and dont want anything who just plan love football. Im 40 and refuse to grow up football is my life. Nobody at Spartan HQ knows what I do and really dont need to.
I have worked in high school football for many many years 17 to be exact. I have worked with Dusty Tripplett formerly of Brookland Cayce High, Aiken High, Strom Thurmond I have worked with Robert Maddox of Swansea, John Petrey of Swansea, and over 20 current and former assistant coaches around SC. I know football and I know winning to be sucessful in arena football you need a staff of people with football knowledge. Oddly enough myself and only two members of the current staff have ever played, coached or been on the field.
The Spartans are a class organization because we care. We put over 50 hours a week in during the season. We have a owner that listiens to his help respects his help and treats his help as a stockholder. We have a leauge that loves its teams and supports them I can call any GM of any team in our leauge tonight and he will answer his phone. W

It is just a honor to be part of a leauge that cares the WIFL is like family. The communications guy Dan Ryan does a superb job running the web broadcast, Gary Tufford the boss has called me just a little fella to thank me for running my mouth on WIFL Fan boards. Im drt1674 on the WIFL Fan boards and trust me im the unofficial voice of Spartan football. Weve worked hard to get where we are. We want to help you find the true happiness you deserve. As for me folks well my ambition is to be a General Manager of a arena football team someday. I have the college degree to do it, the drive, the excellent sales reputation and a strong desire to suceed.
I look forward as does all the Spartans to seeing you suceed we are here to help.

our world hasnt always been easy alot of folks have no idea what I do for the Spartans. Well Ill tell you I have kept this team together through some bad management, a scandal called cheerleader gate and not to mention everything you can think of. I love the Spartans my love devotion for them has never been questitioned. I share this for you to. With this said Im going to watch the remaining home Stinger games I was in attendance at a meeting at Spartan HQ and we discussed you we want you to know were here for you.
