As we see on here, a large proportion of our fan-base is weirdos with strange, insular understandings of the world. No surprise that a new format put them off a bit.
Hopefully word will spread that it was a really good laugh and more people will go next year. The pricing was about right.
I think they could consider starting it earlier next year - first game at 14:00, last game at 17:00. I know quite a few people who already had evening plans and so didn't go but would've done if it had finished earlier.
