USL Professional Clubs for 2004

Dipsy Selolwane is my hero.


I'm curious... what are the average attendance figures for A-League teams?


I don't see how any of them could be anything remotely resembling profitable with the player salaries and travel costs and whatnot.


And the PDL and A-League seem to give off a "fly-by-night" first impression.

 

Here are the numbers from kenntomash website

I've heard Rochester have been in the black despite the terrible stadium deal they currently have. I wouldn't be surprised if Charleston finally saw some profit this year. I know they have been close in the past.

There are a few well run A-league Operation. Rochester, Charleston, Richmond. Virgina Beach has found a committed owner and turned around that club in less than a year They should be doing well in the next couple years. Minnesota has always seems to be well run.

Cincinatti on the other hand seems to be run by a schister and has left many players without paychecks.
