This pretty much sums it up about Raider fans..pitiful!!
Since the Raiders returned to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995, 43 of their 71 home games have been blacked out in their television market. Under league rules, a game that isn't sold out 72 hours before kickoff isn't televised. http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercuryne...ts/7529286.htm |

Lets face it if their own games are not sold out......... If they can not even get behinde the team when they are winning left and right when they suck like this year
?? I dont know there are a few really good raiders fans out there perhaps its that most of them are in jail right now or hoodlems that cant afford even cheap seats. Broncos have one of the longest streeks of sold out games in NFL. true there are some games that thousands dont show up but that I think is mainly all the scalpers buying 30 tickets a pop just to try and sell them. (I have personal feelings on that but that would be a different thread) |

One thing that sets Bronco fans apart is their team loyalty. Thinking about that now I guess that sets the Raider fans apart too

I wouldn't pay those prices either...Al Davis and the city of Oakland are the ones you should be blaming.

The Raiders have become a victim of the image they themselves worked for decades to cultivate. True, 20 years ago they had a bad boy mentality on the field but those days are long gone. Now, with just that as an image they attract all the losers, gangsters, criminals, and low lifes to their cause. Would you want to take your family to a Raider game? If I had children I wouldn’t want them anywhere near that group of fans even if I did support that team.

Have the Raiders cultivated an outlaw image over the years? Yes Does their fan base reflect this mentality? Yes Does this hurt attendance? Of course Why is Raider fan so notorious? I’m sure that Charger fan that got shanked in stands or the Bills fan that got beaten unconscious and urinated upon in the restroom agree with the stereotype. |

The city and A$ are jobbing the fans. Now why Miami can't sell out, after making the playoffs, then taking for one lousy year with a meldown, and then getting Saban AND Cedric .............. those fans suck.
