City has bigger reach with casuals in Melbourne as it’s a sporting day/night out in the city, WU don’t have that. If anything City get the crowds they do because they play in the city, reacon they would draw much worse in the suburbs whichever direction they went in.

Precisely why I never understood the argument from so many that South Melbourne is no good for the league because their home ground is too close to the CBD (precisely why it was the very best option!) No one living a decent part of Melbourne is going to travel out to Geelong, Ballarat or, heaven bid, Tarneit, for a night out. But they would have travelled to South Melbourne, from all over Melbourne.

Given -you are champions -won first round game -that stadium is in your “heartland” a full house. I would expect it to be sold out...

The reality is that the league needs to broaden its geographic footprint, which is what WU or Team 11 offered far more value on than another inner city club.
MV and MC both are reported to have objected to a 3rd club in Melbourne, however if there was anyone they likely would have preferred it was WU, as SMFC was a far larger threat at just cutting into their supporter bases.
Even though MV in particular has a good footprint in the West and Geelong region, there are barriers to entry for a number of fans to get involved playing 95% of matches in Inner city Melbourne.
Unlocking more support in Geelong and Ballarat would bring additional value for the league, which will be further boosted by the significant growth in the western suburbs that is occurring. The concept is strong, but the execution is key.

For one of our matches at Leichardt last season (against the Mariners) the announced attendance was something similar (~12k) only for the club to clarify later that week that the ticket scanners hadn't functioned properly and there had probably been at least another 3-4k in the ground. This makes sense - Leichardt doesn't have proper ticket turnstiles and the count is based on individual ground staff scanning tickets from their phones, so it doesn't strike me as all that reliable.
Frankly, I expect the same happened tonight, because Leichardt was absolutely packed. There can't have been more than a few hundred empty seats in the grandstands, and I have no idea how the hill could've fit another 7k people (it looked 80% full at minimum).
Anyway, whatever the figure, it was a cracking atmosphere. If the public transport and parking options weren't so dire it would be a perfect home ground.

Was going to say before that it looked packed, but honestly thought the atmosphere seemed flat watching it on TV for a ground where fans aren’t that far from the field.
Something about Sydney FC though that I struggle to get is how great their results have been over the last few years but how utterly disinterested I become watching them.
Tonight was another game they rode their luck but somehow got the result, followed by claims they can do better. Just seems quite often they are flat but get a result.

Melbourne is very centralised and if there is shit transport and nothing to do which is the case when you go further out west absolutely fuck all are going to go. Team 11 would have been a better area to target if they were going to do it.

No bullshit the dude tried to scan my membership 3/4 times, gave up and just let me in. I can't imagine I was the only one..

WU are the first i havent been to..of all those teams i mentioned the WU crowd was the lowest of the 4..2 of those clubs dont exist anymore and 1 has been repackaged. Its going to take something pretty miraculous to make this work.

WU's debut home game was even smaller than two new NSL sides that crashed and burned in very quick succession.

Its going to take something pretty miraculous to make this work. That's cool to hear you went to them games. I've tried doing a google images search of how they configured the pitch as these grounds, how the game looked from the stands etc? There really is limited information on Collingwood Warriors in particular on google so any info or stories you have on them would be much appreciated. From memory their first crowd was really well attended in 96/97 but from book i read that the neutrals were put off by the Heidelberg supporters or something along the lines of this... Could you give me an insight on what it was like? Happy to get a PM if it goes off topic here.

+x+x+x+xThey are a third Melbourne team playing an hour and a half from their base. The whole thing has been more successful than I expected. Your first sentence states that you didnt expect them to be successful at all. So you are saying they have been more successful than not successful at all. This isnt a good thing. Choosing expansion teams is a multi million dollar exercise that can shape the future of the league. The usual forum "not bad considering" doesnt come into the equation GWS was a shameless cash grab. The AFL managed to get $250m added to the TV deal for their 2 teams, plus they had venues upgraded for them. And while GWS will now always feature in the top half of the table (like the Storm), the AFL can argue the payoff was worth it The FFA managed to get $5m for their 2 teams, and one of them now has to build a $150m venue at their own expense. There also isnt a long term plan to keep WU in the top half of the table, only a 2 year plan. We also know that venue changes are usually disruptive to support, so even if WU establish themselves as a force over the next 2 years, the support will be lost when they move WU have been a disaster. It was the "Homer Simpson selling his shares for $25" of expansion clubs No, I thought they could be a disaster until they get their home stadium built at which point I think they could be a model team for the a-league. Western Melbourne seems like a big enough area that is growing and has no other professional sporting teams based there to the best of my knowledge. 7k in Geelong is a very similar number to what the CCM are getting, which is fine. Long term outlook but if they can grow on the back of a team playing good football, then I am happy with that. The active area is also surprisingly good. I am want pro/rel and teams like Melbourne Knights but I dont see why people have to death ride a club that is making a decent go of it. I am confused. Your rationale for a team in Western Melbourne is basically the same as the AFLs rationale for a team in Western Sydney. Large growing population, relatively light on for sports teams. The difference is, the money the AFL got for the expansion teams means they can afford to pay for these teams for a very long time. You expect a more enthusiastic and genuine supporter base for West Melbourne than GWS, based on what? Why would someone deciding to support an expansion team in Melbourne be more 'genuine' than a fan of an expansion team in Sydney? What is a more genuine fan anyway? People routinely scoff at claimed crowd figures for GWS, I have seen claims (no idea of there basis), that the actual WU crowd was under 4000, and that over 60% of the tickets were given away, so a repeat of the GWS playbook. If by genuine fans, you mean consistent, died in the wool supporters, the only thing that brings that is time, and GWS has a head start. At the moment, I would consider GWS fans more 'genuine` - whatever that means. At the moment, WU is GWS lite, with a lot less certainty around its long term future. Yes, my point was to show how the AFL identified an area and backed it with long term vision. While we dont have the millions of dollars and huge media backing of the GWS, we do have an area that at least has an established football following. We would be more like the AFL setting up in Tassy than Western Sydney, where there was no AFL community to speak of, now there would be on the back of GWS. That's all I meant, sorry if I upset you.

Wow look at all those excuses, you might as well throw the weather into it too.
there is a difference between an excuse and a fact. and the fact is that in Melbourne Heart's first season, Victory's fan base was split into 2. That is undeniable and was one of the major complaints we had about them at the time (that they weren't bringing new fans to the game). after that, we had steady growth until we reached a peak of a 27,000 average when we won the double in 2014-15. Since then we've had a steady decline to a 20,000 average that coincided with the all-round decline of the HAL. +xYup. Never understood why Victory fans would tolerate playing at this shithole. Many of us don't. there were numerous posts on the Victory pages over the weekend asking why we continue to play games there. We all acknowledge the contracts in place and the money the club makes from Marvel. But I'm of the opinion this is gonna have a long-term negative effect for the club in that people will stop going. If Friday nights game was at AAMI, I am certain we would have pulled a few thousand more through the gate.

The club has stated however they are open to the possibility of a match at Bankwest. I'm all for it. No way, that's a shocking idea. Go back to the SCG if you have to but not Bankwest. Why not? It's not the Wanderers' stadium. Technically it is, and i am well against this idea. Why are they getting two home derbies two years in a row ? If our home is Kogarah, then that is where we play it then.

It's not the Wanderers' stadium. Its not SFCs either and they don't belong in there. Sydney should head to Campbelltown. What's next Wellington playing home games at Bankwest?.
Wellington Phoenix FC

SCG, Leichardt, Kogarah and now Bankwest! :PBefore Macarthur join you lot should be shoring up all that so called support you've got out west/ south west. Or have you finally decided to come clean and admit you're East Sydney FC. As for Bankwest, won't happen. Guarantee we would have something in our users agreement which prevent you lot playing home games there. Enjoy ANZ :D

When we played in the old Parra Stadium, the derbies were electric because it was full to the brim with 20K. A no brainer really.
