[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 516097, member: 282"] Winnipeg has not given the Thrashers better fan support than they got in Atlanta. They get about 15k fans per game now, even though they lead their division. Atlanta fans attended well for years at about that level for crummy teams, but after watching the Spirit group rent players for a year and trade them away near playoff time, fans had a game boycott in the last year to get ownership off their butts. Ownership got off their butts and sold to Winnipeg, since they had no intention of fielding a good hockey team. Hawks attendance is brutally low, even a few years ago when Milsap, Horford, and Korver were playing awesome basketball. That’s a shame. They deserved better support then. I think the Hawks ownership is trying to fix up the franchise. They may not get many fans until they win, though The Braves have drawn better than you’d expect for having Liberty Media as their owners. They’ve done great the last few seasons, even before making the playoffs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
