John Fay, Cincinnati Enquirer on XM

Noting Reds off to a great start but this hasn't been reflected in fan attendance. Fay says he's surprised by this lack of support while fans seem to be happy with new management. Hoping for a better turnout at this weekend's D-back series. Agrees that Griffey probably shouldn't pay attention to controversy stoked up on sports talk radio; he got a great ovation when he came to bat last night.

  • Don't be surprised by the attendance numbers. It's pretty widely accepted that big jumps in attendance usually don't happen until the year after an improvement on the field, mostly from a big bump in the season-ticket base.

    It doesn't help that on the homestand prior to the current one (when they got swept by the Phillies), it rained three consecutive days during the day.

  • Yes, I've heard that about attendance...helps to remember all the
    rainy weather some teams have had to
    deal with. It's more important to have
    committed, decisive ownership & management which, just from what
    I've heard, the Reds may now be
    experiencing.
