BS Crowds!

12/29/2003

19977 spectators had come to Dave Sumner-Raider Field this cloudy day.

7/26/2004

18913 spectators had come to Dave Sumner-Raider Field this cloudy day.


What's the difference? More people showed up to see an 0-5 NC Raider team two seasons ago than my 3-0-1 (W-L-D) squad this season.

Oddly enough, just three weeks earlier, I had a near sellout. Since then, I lost in the cup, tied a league match, and won a league match.

Whisky, Tango...

Time to fire off some HATE ht mail.

...Foxtrot?!?

I agree...my squad, fresh on the heels of a 4-0 drubbing of the #3 team at their place, can only get 22k people in the middle of a 4 game winning streak? Sure, they were one of the bottom feeders, but I haven't lost since Cup round 2...

My crowds have been pretty crappy recently as well. Granted, I am not on a winning streak, but ... it's still been pretty sorry.

I think we found a weakness in HT6.6 :mad:

If you combined those last two crowds I previously would have considered it a bad turnout (about 18x the size of my supporter club and 25k short of a sell out).

for once...and god helpme...i agree with AD.

The cup loss was to a lower division club. You then drew with a club that had 0 point in the league at the time. You came back with a road win against a team that was around the bottom of the serie next. This week's game was against the cellar-dweller.

Your near-sellout against the Skkunks came during a good stretch and against one of the better team in the league.

[Havok]

its by far the stupidest change they've made so far..... and thats pretty bad considering how stupid the new ratings are.

i don't care if they think its some "Smart Formula".... fans just don't 'Not go" to sports games if there team takes 1 tough loss. Name one freaking team that has 20k fans 1 week.... then 60k the next week.

Its f-ing retarded and it needs to be fix'ed.

Agreed!

I smell logic, daedalus. It still seems a bit fishy that 30,000 fans or so decide, "ah, screw it."

[damnMikeBrown]

Me no likey the new system either.

REVOLUTION!!

[saintjo]

im leary about loosing my cup match against a team 2 levels higher than me this week because i have a home league match next sunday. it could kill my attendence.
i agree that new formula is a bit too touchy. now, getting blown out in the cup to a team 3 levels below you should hurt your fans attitudes. and even then, i cant see it destroying your fans attitudes. getting blown out to a team 3 levels higher than you should have little, if any affect, on your fans attitude. fans should be expected that i get blown out by a MLS team.

The fans just didn't react well to your most recent promotion:

Limburger Cheese Day

I would suggest talking with your marketing department.

[nickfox45]

i agree with havok, this makes no sense. i was bad last season, and sold out, im just as bad now, whats the difference?

That's the last time I listen to anyone from your staff.

[Raven Hawk]

I don't know what you're problem was, my marketing ploy seemed to work to the tune of over 77,000 spectators:

Liverwurst Day
The first 2000 fans to enter the stadium recieve one slice of free liverwurst.*

LOL, i can picture 2000 people wandering around a soccer stadium with a beer in one hand an a sloppy slice of liverwurst in the other bare hand. Just smiling and chomping away :)

[sterlingice]

I wish we could do promotions. :(

SI

I'm in D.V and lost to a D.II team in the cup in the 6th round of PKs. Managed a sellout of 42 500 seats in that match, but only 24 902 showed up to watch me beat the first place team in my series 3-0 four days later. :(

Just what does this say about Gargoyle fans, though. :) They're a special bunch, but I gotta love 'em. :D

You were in 7th place in your series. The poor attendance was not a result of the cup loss.

I say we all write congress to get them to change this...

Sounds like it should be followed up with:

"...I'd marry yous."
