Thanks for that St Charles.
Think the longest running winless streak in Superbowl history were Tampa Bay back in the 1970s? and have won the tournament twice since then. I've been at games when the home side have been dreadful but the many fans take it in their stride and are not baying for blood. Even at Hereford this year after games that have not gone well there are confrontations between fans and players especially after the Gloucester game when realistically our play off chances had gone. Something to do with British football and something Ron Gordon will have to get used to if he is in for the long haul.
I can see what you are saying about the populations but my experience tells me that the New York Jets still get a fantastic crowd on gameday whereas Hibs have seen their crowds dwindle this season very quickly when the chips are down. ( all relative to their catchment areas) The chips have been down for the Jets for a long time now!! ......................there's always next season lol.
Baseball is always an odd one as they play so many games especially in one week that often the crowds are not huge till the play offs loom. I've been in the Orioles and Braves games when the stadia are less that half full. However attendances will obviously go up as the games get more important. However the "gameday" experience is still what many American fans enjoy whether their teams
I think it's this "experience" that Ron Gordon is trying to introduce to Hibs fans and has probably struggled to understand why it's not been embraced by the fans and why they get so vociferous when things aren't going right on the field.
Agree about your comments on relegation / promotion and the vast sums of money on offer to poor teams for TV and broadcasting rights etc..........the money on offer for Scottish football is so low it doesn't help the teams much outside the two uglies in Glasgow.
