Cheeta Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Someone's cranky this morning. Lobbing in skuds like that... Me, I like the 9-0-2 lifetime record bit. That's funny. Might explain the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[}] I must admit, I too find the crowds a bit on the low side. Still very respectable, but with the excitement that Kerfoot is generating regarding quality players being signed, stadium and training ground expansion, great season-ticket sales, etc...I thought the crowds would be over 5000 per match.

DarnCherry Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 A few things factored in to this. 1) It was Calgary, and Calgary is not a big draw. 2) A rainstorm hit Vancouver an hour before the match. It didn't last long, nor did it even reach Burnaby but I know it did scare some fans a way. 3) Vancouver doesn't paper their crowds some, ahem, other teams do.
