I noticed that when I watched Eagles play Riders a couple of weeks ago. It looked as if they only had half the stand (the one visible from the camera view) open and even then seats weren't filled. It was a Saturday night game, so maybe that played a part but I was still a little shocked.
It just reinforces how hard it can be to sell tickets for BBL games at the moment, even at a fantastic club like Riders. It can be easy to take our crowds at Newcastle for granted, but a lot of work goes in to filling that arena every other Friday.
I do worry for Sheffield when you see they're going to have a capacity of 2,500. At the moment they can't even fill Ponds Forge, with some very sparse looking crowds. I'd say they're between 500-850 at the moment.
