Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 10 hours ago, Jay Magic said: Yep. Not many stick around during the down times. In soccer/football in England my home team is Queens Park Rangers and we was at the top league then we went down 2 divisions but the fans stuck with it through the ups and downs. It's just different. Loyal etc etc If we were an elite basketball team for 10 years Boston would still fill up Amway. It's less to do with how good we are and more to do with immigration patterns. An extremely large chunk of Florida's population is made up of people born in New England or people who's parents were born in New England. So there's an extremely large contingent of Celtics fans in the area. Now where most magic fans pick a handful of games to go to each year, the Celtic fans only have one or two chances a year to watch their team live so they come out in force. Team success is what makes local kids choose the heat over us. It didn't really impact the Celtics games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing other fans sing louder at your own arena/stadium is very unusual for me to see/hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ll always have that during Boston games. The lack of enthusiasm, fans, other games, no one cares because nothing is being done to change it.

It's just different culture to English soccer/football. Even when the product is not too good for my team the following doesn't change. I'm sure it will get better definitely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
