UTI99, your little slogan has added zero to this debate – and tends strongly towards being offensive to decent people for having the effrontery to want value for money.
Personally, I would like fans and customers coming through the gates.
Bizarrely, it appears that, in your mind, the two ideas cannot be complementary. Indeed, you seem to find them mutually exclusive.
Surely, bums on (clean) seats is the only measure of any worth, here.
Judging fans/paying customers would be risible were it not such a critical issue.
