I am also on hiatus on griping about attendance, we have 3 games left, hopefully 4, the time to right the ship this year has passed. I was optimistic early on about the team and the fanbase, the team has been greatly improved, the casual fanbase has let me down.CardiacKid wrote:It has been depressing for some time. The time for action (never mind actually expressing concern) should have been weeks ago when it was glaringly obvious to everyone on this forum the excellent form of the team isn't enough to get people in BC Place.SammyGreene wrote:But apparently not concerned enough to make any changes to the business side of the operations or make any significant changes to the 2017 ticket pricing except a small increase for premium seats.NEWS1130SPORTS #BCLions have only sold 18,000 tickets for the Blue Bombers game tomorrow night. Owner David Braley admits he's concerned.
So potentially one of the smallest crowds of the season tomorrow night for one of the biggest games. It's getting depressing going to BC Place and seeing so many empty seats game after game.
Personally, I have written off the attendance improving this year. I would be ecstatic to be shown otherwise but it has gone far beyond the tipping point for this current operational regime to rectify.
Who knows the last couple games of the year with playoff implications could provide an uptick but we will have a 20,000 attendance average this year so Braley better wake up and either sell or clean house and bring in fresh blood and ideas in the office this off-season.
For now I just hope the team does well in the crucial final weeks and going to focus on the positive.
