Super Larry -
I didn't mean to to impugn that fine franchise in Montreal. What I was getting at were the other "local" owners of Toronto sports franchises...specifically the Leafs. As others have alluded, that's where the arrogance is (and I say that as a big-time Leafs fan).
Ref Raptors low attendance so far this year...I think the fans are in a "show me" kind of mood. If the Raps have a good road trip on the west coast (for example going 3-3) then I think you will see the fans coming back.
I was a season ticket holder for the 02-03 season but let them lapse, which given the performance last year was a good move on my part. A buddy of mine bought a 20 game pack this year and I took four games of that. My first game is on Nov 21st vs SA, and if they keep playing like they have in the first three games they are going to be fun to watch.
