I’m a happy to inform you that the league will entertain our bid to have a fan owned River Kings franchise if we can reach the goal. I have spoken to the league and assured them that we would do our best to raise the money. I can’t do this alone folks now it’s time to open your checkbooks. We have till Monday to make it happen. What we are about to do is write the best chapter in River Kings history,” said Rodney Rivette on social media.
