Did you notice that first you were surprised that the 'Runners have such high numbers, then wonder why they haven't caught on? Are you on crack?

Actually, I never stated any surprise that the Road Runners had "such high numbers." Rather, I posted that I was surprised the numbers werent higher. As I stated before, in the only two games I've made it out to thus far, there was no walkup, and a lot of the STH's did not show up.
As I suggested, ticket prices were part of the problem, IMO, as the Road Runners were pushing their fans as far away as they could.
I poorly worded that statement. I wasnt trying to imply that Edmonton mattered, because in the context of the best support out of 150 or so minor and major-junior hockey cities in North America, Edmonton doesnt warrant any more mention than Lowell or Kingston or Fresno. I didn't mean to get your hopes up.
I made the comment because Edmontonians seem to always spoil themselves whenever Calgary is mentioned in major national and international media, yet Edmonton is not.
