Lionbackers.com began as a hobby for owner Derek Dale in December 1999, Lionbackers.com is designed to be a place for Canadian Football and BC
Lion Fans
around the world to gather, share information, interests and develop
friendships.
It is not a for profit site but there
are costs involved in running the site. A site like this needs fancy bells and whistles in it's hosting package, including adequate bandwidth, data transfer, and access to databases such as MySQL to run the message boards
etc, and since inception has outgrown numerous hosting services. Of course
as the site grows, so do the costs to host the site.
We gladly pay these costs to provide you with a quality environment for you to share your passion for the BC Lions and the CFL, but we also appreciate your help in covering such costs.
The site is busy enough that if we
all chip in a small amount we should be able to fund it without the need for
banner and pop up advertising.
