coldmachine Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 At a guess how many Leafs fans would be expected for this game?I'm travelling all the way from Belfast for the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I'd imagine there will be a handful or so, there's always a couple Leafs fans at Devils-Leafs games. I wouldn't go into the realm of hundreds, but maybe in the double digits somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldmachine Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 Maybe I'm too used to soccer over here, where we can get 20,000 opposition fans at a game with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to a Devils-Flyers game....of the 19,040, about 15,000 will be Flyers fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you don't give them seats to sit on from what I understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewarkDevil5 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) There are only 19040 seats in the Devils' arena. And at Flyers games I'd say its about 50-50. 10,000 or so Devils fans and 9,040 Flyers fans Edited October 7, 2003 by NewarkDevil5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldmachine Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 point....All our Stadiums are "All seater".Is it just the culture in N.America that fans aren't as "fanatical".Even when we play in Europe or anywhere else the Premiership Soccer clubs can bring 10s of thousands.It just seems very strange to me.

Nieuwy25 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I think maybe it's that we have so many BIG sports to choose from - football, baseball, basketball, college sports. Unfortunately, hockey is farther down the list than we'd like it to be. College football and basketball probably come as close to drawing a lot of fans from both teams - college alumni are more fanatical about their teams than most pro fans.

NewarkDevil5 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 No, there are more Devils fans its just Flyers fans are far and away louder and more obnoxious than Devils fans. Orange also stands out better than Red does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
