Don't particularly blame them. When we hosted a cup game at Montclair, the crowd was significantly diminished compared to what it would have been at RBA. There's a lot to be said about not encouraging (their or our) FO with a high attendance at a different arena, in addition to the transport challenges in both cases.
That's because our front office showed how little they gave a shit about the open cup last year when we gave up our home field advantage to save some money.
