I can see 1 reason why we get more fans now, while the attendace for PO is still the same as for league games.
What if the season ticket holders number changes ?
The way I understood a long time ago (but that was before the fan survey) this number was changing trough the season, but the number you see is the one at the start of the season.
Maybe this number gets a big boost if your team reaches the POs. Since both teams reach the POs, both get a boost, which results in a significant difference in attendance during the POs...
Now that I start thinking about that posibility. I think to remember that last 2 seasons indeed PO attendance was higher, but also the games in the new season took over those numbers, meaning the league games of the new season will not get back to the number of spectators from before the POs... (except maybe in the first 2 games...)
Let's all keep an eye on this? Let's watch what attendances we will get after the POs in the new season.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
