  "It's a historic day for the league," Cleveland Gladiators owner James Ferraro told The New York Times. "This league will be much, much stronger, and it will be here for a long time because of what happened."
  
  "This is the farthest thing from the league folding," Ferraro added.

  So did Gladiators owner Jim Ferraro.
  
  "We were hoping we'd be playing," said Ferraro. He said he's talking with two Arena League factions who support, depending on the group of owners, a 2010 or 2011 season.
  
  But Ferraro said he eventually decided to go ahead and issue refunds to remaining ticket holders because so much time had elapsed and the team's future still isn't certain.
  
  He said having only a skeleton staff at the Cleveland office caused some foul-ups with those belated refunds.
  ...
  Ferraro clearly was keeping loose tabs on the Cleveland office. He said he didn't realize the phone bill at the Cleveland office hadn't been paid until I called him at his law office in Miami.
  
  Despite a few false starts, Ferraro was able to get you your refund last week.
  
  He said the few dozen season-ticket holders still owed refunds should have them by now.
  
  For those who remain hopeful about arena football, Ferraro said he should have an announcement to make about the team soon.
  ...
  "Those are the most loyal fans we have," Ferraro said.
