For those dissing Edmonton's U-20 WC 2007 attendance

[Canucko]

1) one day only had 1 game with 2 small countries without big immigrant populations, one day had thousands walk away because of the massive ticketing screwup, and one day had major thunderstorms run through all day and still drew 30,000

2) they spread tickets on upper and lower decks instead of selling the lower deck out, however most tickets were on the west side (which was the same side as the tv cameras therefore showing an empty stadium)

3) People in Alberta actually work (..... edited by Moderator due to offensive content. Canucko has been given a warning).

4) The attendance in edmonton was second most of all places, mostly is in line with Montreal and would have been more if things would have been more ideal. Plus Montreal had USA and BRAZIL!

3) People in Alberta actually work at work (as in dont or cant leave work early), and completely different from french work ethic. Ive lived in both Alberta and Quebec and there is a big difference. On a Friday afternoon you wont see anyone at work in Quebec and in pubs/restaurants instead, but Alberta theyre generally still at work.

I have worked in 3 provinces ALB QUE ONT, they all have the same work ethic, to suggest Albertans have a better work ethic is a reach.
Bottom line, Edmontonians are front runners, When your teams win great support when they suck as the Oilers did for a while , there where thousands of empty seat at Northlands. Fact
