As others have said, we've had a series of three bad ownership group in
a row. In addition, we've had the threat of a moving team over our heads
for nearly a decade now. Fans don't want to build ties with a team that
might take off (which of course increases the likliehood of the team
leaving).

And present non-ownership.

AJ, if you hang around here long enough you'll get the details.
Suffice it to say, we all thought Claude Brochu was a bad owner and
Jeffrey Loria was the saviour of the team until we got to know Loria a
little better -- took two months, if that -- to the point where
"ownership" by Major League Baseball has actually seemed like an
improvement. A very slight improvement.

Sorry Johnny but the Expos have had below league average attendance going
back to 1984. That is despite some good teams in the 1990's, especially
1994.
