Yeah that injury was definitely a bummer but that’s BB…. Cyborgs still got clobbered in the 3rd quarter.. now not even sure if I can even make a playoff spot, really good quality teams this season… don’t think the Cyborgs have the horses to compete in the division at this point…. Skill levels are not on par with other teams and the continual drain on the finances and lack of funds might mean a sell off if we don’t make the playoffs…. If the new BB Team ownership makes any changes I hope it’s with the financial aspect… even with a winning record and moderately priced seats I can’t fill the arena, the fan base needs to be adjusted as well especially for long team players, the loyalty of the fan base should be better win or lose… oh well that’s my rant for today… good win for your team and looks as though you will probably represent our division in the finals …

I’m with the Mad Scientist on fan attendance. I see some teams in our league pack in 18,000-plus fans every home game regardless of their place in the standings. And if my team loses a game to one of the best teams in the league, the fans boycott the next game. And god-forbid you lose to a rival or a TV game. Do you guys who fill your arenas every game have a secret you want to share? Please?! DM

I'm not the guy to ask. I went on a building spree when I first started playing years ago and have way too many seats. There are several things that go into attendance and you guys are right that one loss (even to a rival) costs too much fan support. The only thing I've picked up on is that when you promote you need to ride that wave of fan support. Even if you're not competitive, the fans will still show up for a good portion of the season.

I've also heard that your opponent's record effects attendance, but I haven't seen that officially and not sure how to prove that, even anecdotally, as attendance seems to fluctuate so much.

If I had a nickel for every 3 point loss this season, I'd have 4 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened 4 times.

It's going to be a crazy last 2 games for the Big 8. #2 through #5 are all within 1 game of each other and all play each other to end the season. The real winner of this is Archers of Loafcross as they get to save their enthusiasm and watch their competition fight amongst each other.

Game 21
#5 Dark Matter @ #2 Missouri City Sounders
#3 Slashing Draongs @ #4 Cyborgs

Game 22
#2 Missouri City Sounders @ #4 Cyborgs
#3 Slashing Dragons @ #5 Dark Matter

Assuming all the games are pretty close, with their PD advantage, Sounders has all but locked in a spot for the playoffs. For the rest of us, winning at least 1 of our last 2 games will go along way towards getting us in the playoffs. So the real question is, will anyone dare to CT to guarantee a playoff spot?

We can now reopen the discussion on burning enthusiasm during meaningless games in the regular season.
