I would put the blame on large crowds of visiting members. It can't just be the team they cheer for. When you put in 10,000 rival people the drunken idiots come with them. No other team gets large numbers of visiting people to the same extent. If you read the article in the paper the 2nd worst team at McMahn is Edmonton. No suprise the second most number of visiting team fans happen when edmonton is playing.
This doesn't forgive indviduals but I hope that it explains the the idiots per capita isn't really higher amoungst rider fans.
