Second Team:
Canada Purple Haze BC
I promoted this season to Canada Div III
I made it to the final
QF attendance 8684 - SF attendance 9039
I added a few seats for the final
Lost game 1 on the road by 20
Tonight's attendance for final game #2 = 7466
Seriously, If your team was in the league final tonight in the same situation
after attending victories in the first 2 rounds
You wouldn't show up...Right?
Good thing Mavs fans stuck with their team!!!!!!

You know that is the first time I have heard someone say that but it is so true. Day traders that are buying and selling dozens of players every season are punished, but a normal team that sells it's draft picks and tries to upgrade one or two positions during the season (especially if they have to list their player a couple of times to get a fair price) are punished just as much. I have never had even three balls and I haven't sold a single player for two months!

I am in almost the same situation. I promoted this season to D.III and I am in the finals (I have HCA).

I have to agree, attendence in the finals should not be linked to the previous game's results. My fan survey is awful after solidly winning my first home game and losing the away game by--gasp--seven!!

Show me a league in ANY SPORT where attendance in the finals goes down because the team lost an away fixture.
