So what?!

I'm tired of always having to explain why the Xplosion turnouts are so low on average(no matter the intention)! Why can't posters just look at the fact that we made the playoffs and leave it to ownership to worry about the turnouts and figure out ways to fix it!! I would rather talk about the X!! I wish people would just respect that! Geez, we have the All-Star game next season and a good team this year! Focus on the playoffs!!

You MIGHT have the all-star game... but that is subject to change... No league is gonna want to have an All-star game in a city relying on visiting teams to bring in 100+ fans just to reach 1000 in attendance.

You don't have to explain anything... not every X comment is directed to you. It seems you take it upon yourself to explain turnouts. #'s are accurate.. there is no distorting facts...posters want the team to succeed (in as much as the X/Miners will make natural rivals), but without paying fans how long can the franchise continue?

I have always pointed out X positives also. DeGroat is a top ten league player for certain... Knox is a great coach... however, the X assistant coach is classless... White, McCrommon, Glass, and the other players are solid and can help with the chase for the championship. I wish them luck against Minot as winning in Minot will be tough.

just remember if the all-star game is moved you only have the X fans (or lack thereof) for the change in venue.

The Sunkings have hosted the allstar game twice in the last 4 yrs and both years the AS game barely outdrew the yearly avg. In fact this year we have surpassed the AS game attendance a few times. Lets face it Boys these guys are only ALLstars to CBA fans ,no one else has heard of them. As far as out of towners coming in, that doesnt happen. Maybe if a guy was from Seattle a relative or two come over. What do you think people travel to theallstar game to watch an exhibition of 4th rate basketball players. Come on. OK fans are judging their teams success strictly by their on the court performance. They drew 1500 to a playoff game. That doesnt pay the bills.
And beleive me if the Beloved Steelers (one of the most popular football teams in the USA)drew 600 fans, what would Marshall and Marvin Phillips draw. The CBA isnt going to play the allstar game in front of 782 fans.
