Astros rise in American Soccer League faces Boston indifference
Boston fans ignore a rising ASL club, once Lowell Astros, now led by owner-coach John Bertos. The team, started in 1964, has since moved through state and regional leagues to ASL status, beating Waterford of Ireland and the New York Apollo s, yet local audience and profits remain limited despite onfield success. Bertos cites financial support and early losses as factors in the club’s slow local embrace amid a soccer-soft market.
