"you've pissed off the most loyal fans in the league"
Have they...???
Or are they just a losing franchise that the glory hunters and wanna-be-seen people bailed on...???
Fact of the matter is "the most loyal SUPPORTERS" section was basically full (on TV it looked that way)...
The RPB South East Corner looked full...
The NEE section looked full...
The corner sections looked occupied...
The empty sections on the tube were 106-107-108-109 - aka the prawnies and expensive seats...
So, have MLSE driven the SUPPORTERS away...? No...
They have driven away the glory hunters and corporate crowd...
The day we know that MLSE has "driven away loyal supporters" is the day that its sunny, 75 degrees, and the middle of BMO is packed, and the south-end is empty...
Last night's attendance made the point that no matter how bad the team is, how much shit goes on, the supporters will still show up - and with that, MLSE knows they are 3-4 wins in a row away from the corps coming back and using their SSH's...
Last nights crowd might have sent exactly the wrong message that some people on here have wanted to get across...
They keep "pimping the atmosphere"... Well, last night, with 10,000 people there - the "atmosphere people" were still there - so if anyone occupied one of those empty seats, they still got what MLSE was pimping...
Carts...
