Hi paul. Thought we might continue the discussion on our own Forum rather than the Steelers guestbook.
I think you'll find that the Nynex will only be half full again this weekend. The last two games have benefited from the half term holidays.
It's back to school this week so I reckon 10000ish and no more. Even so if we remember that there is usually a midweek game with a minimum of 5000 that's still a decent income to run a team on.
If Ogdens really wanted to turn the screw they would get their merchandising act together.
In any event I reckon the loss is probably only a paper loss because it won't take into account the food or the extra barrelage at the Arches.
Apologies to everyone else. (This started as a discussion on the steelers site about the fact they're penniless again and nobody is making a profit).
