They showed it numerous times..it was as sparse as the on camera  side. The only out i'd give them is if they had a large corporate turnout..which i highly doubt.

How would you know how many were on the off camera side?

Can anyone keep a straight face and say they believe that figure? neither wing or behind goals had more than 1,000 ppl across those 4 open sections, how can it be 5K? They’ve added at least an extra thousand here.

Melbourne City 4-3 Western Sydney - crowd 5,149 

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly there are people that still believe the way things are going is fine and think the expansion teams will be our saviour 

They are in decline badly because the people have seen through them.

The tide is turning. It's been slow but it's an inevitable outcome, and also very necessary.

The NSL never had an average of 1800 or anywhere near that low.

Now it's falling down like a house of cards.  Less and less people buying into the ponzi scheme.

On the positive side atleast this number is going down just like attendances. I remember there used to be so many on this forum that couldn't see any wrong in the FFA and the Lowy family.

If there is anyone out there today that disagrees with this, then clearly they're shit fans who have zero idea on how to make football grow in Australia. 

Wow. Can't believe we are that shits that we are being compared to a folded, mismanaged league that died 15 years ago. 

How have we gone from 'football is coming', most participated sport by a country mile, world cup qualification back to back to back to back to back to this.

Fuck, the A-League and the FFA must be extremely shit at their jobs.

But significantly under where the A League used to be. How is that not a backwards step?

Or was the NSL such a benchmark league that just trying to match it is seen as a feat in itself?

Slightly over the NSL low average of 1,800. Doomed.

LOL

18,136.

Melbourne Victory v Phoenix yesterday over 18k.

WHO?

If the actual crowd numbers were being reported, some teams would already be nearing those types of numbers.

Once we get to the NSL lows of 1800 averages then we start worrying.

Listening to some Celine Dion.

Both surely. I maintain ticket prices at all games are a major factor. 

Lol. What a disgraceful attendance. Probably inflated also. Would of been 5k.

Is it the clubs that need to do more or the ffa?

A lot of teams need to be doing more.

At this rate, it looks like we are headed for sub 10K

Not bad for a league that some think is at the best standard it’s ever been.

It's unfortunate but Nix do need to be doing more to justify its position in an Australian competition. 

If you don't like it, fuck off

CCM get 4k and Melb City get 6k and no one gives a hoot!, Yet when Nix get 6k its down right unjustifiable. Two face knuts on here.

#MCYvPER 6,055

Don't sell yourselves short, fella.

Melb city vs Perth 6k

Only victory, Brisbane and Sydney average a higher attendance over 10k

That made up for WSW
