NewarkDevil5 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I notice that Colorado, a team that was on par with us as far as dominating the past 15 years, has dropped down lower than us on the attendance list. This was a team that hung a banner celebrating their record for most sellouts in a row not too terribly long ago. I wonder if that arsehole Denver reporter who had such foul bile to spew about the Garden State during our Finals series against the Avalanche in '01 has anything to say now that Denver has shown their fairweather nature.

Beezer34 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I really am so fvcking sick and tired of hearing the whole attendance bullsh!t every fvcking year. For Chr!st sake, find something new! Times are tough, don't people realize that? When even the Yankees have season tickets still remaining, that should be a pretty clear message to these yahoo's to scratch the fvcking surface. Is that what now determines a "Strong Fanbase" -vs- a "Weak one"? How many corporate blowhards can fill up an arena... who go just for the comp food, and leave at the end of the 2nd period?? I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I'M NOT A SUIT! If I had the money, I'd go. My wife and I can afford ONE NIGHT a month out together. (without the baby) And those nights are the Optimum Rewards FREE Tuesday, dinner & a movie. (the Dante Hicks Special) OFF THE TOP OF MY FVCKING HEAD... I can name about 50 people that I know, that are in the same fvcking boat. These are my friends, family, co-workers, inlaws, teammates, etc. whom are ALL Devil fans... ALL would love to go more often... and ALL can't afford it. These @ssholes really crack me up. I broke my promise by writing this..... since I swore I wouldn't put this much time into responding to their imbecilic like cries. Because that is the exact reaction that these attention whores crave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is the exact reaction that these attention whores crave. Seriously. Whoever makes it to games is loud as hell. The cheap seats are always full. We don't miss a game on TV. Out board is epic (but all of us are here, so we fvcked that up for his rankings). We know the players. Just cause there are a lot of rich people who kinda like the Rags doesn't mean we're worse fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I remember last year when this numbnuts posted his rankings with the Devils in last. The members of this board (myself included) pretty much firebombed his silly little blog. It's nice to know that our complaining led to a jump of eight places.

LaCava83 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just cause there are a lot of rich people who kinda like the Rags doesn't mean we're worse fans. Well having your arena on top of one of the busiest train stations in the world would Def help pack the place but most people there are there for corporate reasons not for their love of the team or the game.

devlman Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 What's kind of funny about that is, we physically can't average what the top 14 teams average - our arena holds less people than the top 14 teams in the league average per game. I'm a little surprised we only ranked at 89.4% capacity for the year - I could have sworn we had more sellouts than the year before and many more games that we 1,000 or less people from selling out. Guess I'm selectively forgetting about some of the lower attendance figures. Hey, 90% of capacity is still a fantastic number for our team to achieve. It ranks lower around the league becuase league-wide attendance is great. That shouldnt minimize the Devils' attendance accomplishments though.
