Attendance Comparision

[flyers2011]

means nothing but here is a comparsion to last season and this season.

Team 2014-15 2015-16 difference
Leamington 612 858 Plus 246 per game
London 730 584 Minus 146 per game
Lasalle 714 668 Minus 46 per game
Chatham 772 805 Plus 33 per game
St Thomas 555 553 Minus 2 per game
Sarnia 1245 1277 Plus 32 per game
Strathroy 464 349 Minus 115 per game...2013-14 the Rockets were averaging 600 plus a game.
St. Marys 275 332 Plus 57 per game
Lambton 235 210 Minus 25 per game
Total 622 626

biggest changes would be a HUGE increase in Leamington, but the one I cant figure out is London, they have a much better team this season and there attendance is down 146 people per game. Strathroy is understandable the team isn't good. Interesting to compare though.

Sarnia has a very loyal fan base.

The officiating has become a joke. Why would the casual fan come out just to see crazy penalties?

It's a joke in more than just the GOJ. Bad officiating comes with all sports at all levels.

London is a mystery, good team decent local talent. They had a lot of fan interest in Justin Murray last year and would have thought DiCicco and Vinogradov would have given them some mileage at the attendance gate. It just doesn't seem like the fan base is as engaged with this team as some in the past,

Strathroy is not a surprise at all, and I suspect those attendance figures are padded. I have been to quite a few games and saw some very tiny crowds that somehow added up to 300+ on pointstreak. The fan base is not engaged with this team at all as is evident when nearby team fans regularly out number the home fans at WMMC. It also doesn't help that they have only racked up 3 wins in 2016, all at the hands of the last place Lambton Shores Predators.

I can explain London for you. Last year they had a deal on season's tickets that it worked out to be about $2.00 per game. I heard that it increased their season ticket sales. This year, they didn't have such deal, so season ticket sales went down.
