His incompetence has affected the bottom line as far as attendance, since the fans hate him and feel hopeless, no one is going to the games. Just by firing Shmuck ticket sales will increase.

Just by firing Shmuck ticket sales will increase. Since well over half the building is corporate at this point, I'm not sure ticket sales will increase a lot (definitely some). But concessions, parking, merchandise sales, etc. will go up quite a lot if people are given a reason to tune back in/attend again. I wonder how many Risto jerseys have been sold, aside from those bought for the sole purpose of burning them in effigy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Laughton? He's sadly actually one of our better players, but are you gonna walk around wearing a Laughton jersey? Not picking on him specifically, but it's to the point that the team is so bad that their jersey sales, among other merchandise, has to be at Office Depot stock levels in terms of desirability. It's not the ticket sales because way too many are comped at this point. It's the people actually going to the building and being inspired to buy stuff. And walking around with a 1978 Bob Kelly jersey or a 1997 John Leclerc jersey isn't exactly being the brand ambassador that inspires others to be attracted to the team. That's never the reason someone buys or wears jerseys, but it's equal to or more important than the purchase price for the reason they sell them.

I thought i jixed him and having bought one since.... Nice story, though, on a lot of levels. This is kind of why I don't ever buy jerseys. I'm comfortable and I'm also not a penny pincher, but the thought of spending that kind of money to have someone else's name on my shoulders only for them to be traded weeks afterward.... Yeah, I don't buy jerseys. Maybe a blank one with just logo, but that's been years. The last time I had a named jersey I was in high school. My parents got me a Hextall jersey for Christmas 1986, the year they lost to Edmonton the second time. I don't think there's anything wrong with buying jerseys in principle and I'll not trying to insult or criticize those who do. These are simply "I/me" statements. I would think, though, that the Flyers are currently bleeding a ton of money on jersey (especially) and other merchandise sales, because I would think for many (not all) of those who do buy them, it takes a certain amount of passion and high interest. I don't think this team in general --and I wonder what specific players -- inspires either. Maybe that's just me so that's why the question. I do think that's where they're bleeding money more than ticket sales. The ticket sales seem to be there, even if only corporate purchases for comp reasons, but the merchandise sales have to be flatlined. I don't know that, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Flyer fan should be extradited to the Hague for war crimes. Maybe it was just a Risto fan, which I suppose is possible. It would be risky for me to wear a Risto jersey as I would inevitably be engulfed in flames as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's never the reason someone buys or wears jerseys, but it's equal to or more important than the purchase price for the reason they sell them. Right now based on their improving play I think Konecny is gonna start to sell some jerseys and potentially Tippet and York, these guys have some skill and have shown some finesse. If Forrester and Brink become goal scorers on an NHL level they could bring some enthusiasm back. I think Gauthier might turn out to be our best selling jersey in a long time, he seems to be developing much quicker than anyone we have drafted in a long time and might be an immediate impact player for the Flyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
