• A group of unnamed people interested in getting an AFL team for Hayward met today to discuss plans

• Yet another unidentified group of investors was reportedly joining the fray to land an AFL team for the Bay Area.

• Insurance man George Jacopetti revealed the existence of the group, consisting of possibly 10 to 12 people, but he apparently wasn’t one of them

• The group wanted to represent Oakland, but was apparently okay with the team playing in San Francisco on a temporary basis
