20 years to recover from.
Even then we will have missed on all those years of what could have been.

At least we have been decent for the last 25 years. I wish it translated into a bunch more hard core fans but if we had a down turn I think you'd see how many jump off the bandwagon.
When you really only have a core 45K die hard fans, you need to keep them and be good enough to bring in the fair weather $$ to rachet things up
