My family attended our first Express game last night against Halifax. We had a great time. Keep doing what you are doing.
This can be a challenging market (I know from experience in my line of work). Patience, a winning team on the court and treating the fans the correct way is the recipe for success.
We plan on returning to our second game before season's end.

The Express has been getting exactly what the doctor ordered; good tidings of community support and words of encouragement.
The attendance of Friday's game was just under 600 people, about a 25% increase from their last game.
