Comments on: Nets Fans Among Least Supportive in League http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/04/25/nets-fans-among-least-supportive-in-league/ A die-hard New Jersey Nets fan hosts this popular fan-based podcast and accompanying blog Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:36:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: David http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/04/25/nets-fans-among-least-supportive-in-league/#comment-55 David Mon, 05 May 2008 18:44:39 +0000 http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/04/25/nets-fans-among-least-supportive-in-league/#comment-55 Well, I agree that the access to the arena might be an issue, but I would not consider it as the main one. You see, Giants also play at the Meadowlands but they've got a great crowd behind them. And why??? Because they play well and they don't dissapoint...But the Nets had a really dissapointing season and no wonder that the attendanc was that low...although people should aware that bigger crowd could contribute to more successful season...so, low attendance surely contributed to worse season...and since I expect that the Nets will be better next season the attendance should also rise because the access isn't that horrible that the fans can't come and support the team...if the majority of the fans think so, then I consider it as disloyalty...and during my stay in NYC this March I went to NJN vs. PHX game and were really kinda surprised in negative way e.g. if I just emphasise the moment of adressing the starters...Suns got many chants from the crowd, and then the Nets barely heard a chant during the process of adressing the starting lineup...That's a SHAME!!! So, Nets Fans Do Not Blame Just The Team For The Season...It Is Also You Who, Responsible For The Bad Season...

It's a miracle they sold as many tix as they did! And I'm a season ticket holder. Ultimately they will wind up in Newark. They will be treading water until they do, which at last count was at least two seasons. Expect even worse attendance. OK, so you have:

I can't wait till they move to Brooklyn. I’m not surprised. there aren’t many “die-hard nets fans” out there anymore, especially since Kidd is gone. I can’t wait till they move to Brooklyn.
