Keegan Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Wasn't it clear coming into the season that Ottawa was pretty average? I think 4 years ago the current squad they have now would be great in NASL which is maybe why some people have higher expectations, but this is NASL 2.0 just as MLS is 2.0 and pushing many talents down to the lower ranks, not to mention the stars/internationals some of the NASL clubs have brought in. It's great that young Canadians can get minutes at this level, which is comparable to MLS 1.0 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think that assessment is correct. It's going fast right now, you'd expect guys like Heinemann and Wiedeman would perform better, but the level continues to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protega Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think the scheduling will be an issue for attendance - lots of Saturday 3:00 pm games scheduled. I would think evening games would draw better and I know that personally, I've already missed a couple of games because of the timing. I was actually thinking that they would be drawing large crowds with their Fury Fanatics program (where kids 14 and under are able to attend for free; pretty much every major local youth club in Ottawa has signed on, with the exception of one that refuses to). But the most they've drawn so far was 5,100, which is about what they got all of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sébastien Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Though I wish there were more people at Lansdowne for the game against Edmonton, I wasn't surprised to see the place close to empty. A cold weeknight, plus the Senators playing what could have been their last game of the season. However, the game against the Strikers is a bit more worrisome. I wasn't in town, so I don't know what the weather was like, but considering the Sens weren't playing that day and there wasn't any other major event in town... Hopefully it picks up. What would most people consider a good average attendance for this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and White Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 More seriously, a bump from the 4,669 last season. 6,000 should be the target at least, but we've never hit 6,000 except for the big TD opener or the Rangers friendly. 6000 is a good target in my opinion. It's realistic, but mainly if the club is well-promoted in the community. I would be happy with 4-5k, but not thrilled. Anything less than 4k is worrying. A factor to consider is that Ottawa is a fickle sports town. If the team starts winning, attendance should benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm thinking more on the lower end of that. If there was 5,000 for the home opener, on what was a very nice day (other than a bit chilly), I feel like it will be hard to crack that number as an average. However, hopefully the WWC can help promote the sport in general. Combine that with a good stretch by the team at the right time, and who knows...

Kurt-MTL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just not good enough over two legs; felt Ottawa was pretty wasteful with some of their chances but full credit to Edmonton who took advantage of their opportunities (and probably could have had more if not for Peiser). At least they came out and battled in the 2nd leg after that disastrous finish in the first game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and White Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Like all Fury strikers, it seems his finishing isn't where it should be. There are a number who can create chances, but burying them is a problem the team needs to solve if this season will have any semblance of success.
