Re: Just getting them out of the way: Do we have to do this in every single thread? See, it was funny in Week 7. Now it's just kinda annoying. Especially when someone posts like this, and another poster comes along and quotes them and adds something that they left out (like "well rain was forecasted for the evening hours"), with a little winky face. A little ironic, considering the comedy lies (at least, it did at one point) in the predictability of others.
Re: Re: Just getting them out of the way: Yes. Still is. Speak for yourself. Move San Jose! Why do the Fire play at Naperville?!? (no smilie for you)

I think the MetroStars-Crew attendance of 10,602 was outstanding considering the weather: Clear, 90f/32cWdE8m13k,26%H, Clear (from MLSnet's match report).
Re: Re: Re: Re: Attendance: Week 20 1.) I'm NOT from Rochester (Free tip: NEVER assume anything) 2.) I though it was going to be a Saturday game (and the Metros YTD average was just around 20K)
Discrepancies GreatZar, why are there differences between your figures and MLSNet.com figures? Where are you getting yours? Just askin' is all. Who was it who said (can't remember if it was before the crash or not) "I shudder to think of what a Wednesday night in Naperville will be like"? Well, 10,444 made for a very nice atmosphere in Naperville last night, thank you very much, and considering what most Wednesday nights do in this league, it wasn't a bad number at all. Oh, and not only is it still funny, even if it wasn't, it performs a valuable public service by keeping some of the drivel to a minimum.

Re: Discrepancies The numbers shown at http://www.mlsnet.com/schedules/ are different than inside the two game summaries http://www.mlsnet.com/games/02/0327clbmet.html and http://www.mlsnet.com/games/02/0704chicol.html and the guys at MLSNet can't add when it comes to Colorado's attendance for the summary at http://www.mlsnet.com/statistics/league.html

Krafty wants out MOve New England to Boston and let them play in Fenway Park. I can guarentee 20000+ every game. Besides.... I will bet you tons of money that the Krafts get out of soccer at the end of this season or next.
Re: Krafty wants out Umm dildo, the Krafts own the team and the stadium the Revs currently play in. The get almost 20K a game now with no rent.
Hey, Sweep, I was there -- not until the last 5 minutes of the 1st, thanks to NJ Transit's lack of busses vs. the normal rush hour. A lot of us were hung up on 41st. St. waiting... and waiting... for a bus. I actually heard a grown man say, "this wouldn't happen for a Jets game." From now on, unless I can skip work, I'm ruling out weeknight aggravation. I can watch our bums lose on TV -- and get Shepp's scalding comments as well. Better beer at home, too.
Re: Re: Re: Just getting them out of the way: Normally I, like everybody else, let all the wild typos and misspellings fly by with no comment, because there's no point. But come on, "harlious" is not even close. At least make an effort!
