Had nothing to do with that. I watched highlights and the fans where there for the bulk of the game but left early. Had more to do with thinking that SA fans are loyal and its a single sport town like us, so I fully expected in the first game for them to stick around until; the clock ticked to zero and give a nice cheer. But I think its expected down there now, so ....
Unfortuantely, I think the match up and odds have a lot to do with it. Not saying it's right, but that's what it feels like.
