Playoffs are a different story, obviously. But a mid-season game in the middle of a cold snap? Nah.

I think that is exactly the issue. I know I've turned down tickets and frankly when you have people on this board turning down free tickets it's a problem. And for a fair number of people who have to give away tickets it's a hassle.
The atmosphere is so bad. It's astounding to me that the league seems to care so little for its fans. Like why are there no supporters clubs? Why have we had two lockouts with next to nothing for the fans coming out of them? I look at the Premiership and things those clubs do for their fans and its miles ahead of what we have here. The just take it for granted that we should build them arenas and fill it up 41 times a season.
