 EG> The Expos AVERAGED 28,000 during their best years so don't tell me that  
EG> the damn hockey team.
Their BEST years when?  The Expos have made the playoffs once in their 
30-year history (the strike shortned season of '82) and then they still got 
less then great crowds.  That DAMN hockey team get all the sponsors (it own 
by Molson posibly the biggest beer company in the world) no one really cares 
about the Expos', especially when hockey season rolls around.  The a joke 
that goes, if you want to get some peace a quiet in Montreal go watch the 
Expos at the Big O, an awful baseball stadium.  People in Montreal want a 
winner and they have one in the Expos the second best winning percentage in 
the 90s (next to the Braves), and yet in the warm summer days they can't draw 
a decent crowd, it is a sad thing but management is doing all it can with no 
real sponsor and a cheap president/co-owner Claude Brochu, he started the 
problem.  They leavce in 5 years I wish they could stay, I one of there only 
loyal fans.
