Yeah, that will be the case for a few parties. While it may turn those people away, it isn't contributing to the issue that Shermanator is looking to address. Many people who are not bothered with the name/association and are genuinely interested simply aren’t showing up in a consistent fashion. If Foothills can convert these people’s interest into a continual investment of their time and money, they can place the club in a strong position where they are Calgary’s defacto club. Newcastle is a rarity in English football as it is a one club city and I’m assuming Newcastle United had similar issues when they became professional.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, has the club stated/indicated that attendance is an issue at this point?
