hey Big Red hope all is well and the win yesterday sure felt good.
I always enjoy our back and forth and I will try to explain a little better. 43 years ago means I was 15 years old...omg jeans, tshirt and flannel shirt time was the uni lol
I am not gonna look up turnstile attendance figures for that 17-0 win over the St Louis Crudinals (memory tells me 50K and I might be wrong) that windy December day however the TV pictures panning the stadium that day showed a good 30,000 empty seats or more....perhaps 15-20,000 tix were burned and don't forget people just stayed away in protest. it was perhaps, the very first pro sports crowd protest arranged weeks before by a group of disgruntled fans. The plane with the banner flew over and it was arguably the nadir of this franchises time.
have a good one and I hope I made you smile remembering the misery of the 1970's from our beloved NYG's
Hang in there fans. as you can see by the words of Big Red and myself, and others I will add...things will get better. they have no choice but to get better
