Yes, the main attraction or so they thought were the RBB.
Their strength was also their weakness. Once they left or were banned interest waned. Popovic's brand of football hardly inspired the fans also.

Sounds   to   me  like    Fickle  sydney- sider    fans    that  Sydneyfc1987   was   talking   about

I didn't.  

Anyone who knows Sydney knows what a fickle bunch Sydneysiders are.

I said at the time it wouldn't last and low and behold it didn't.  Besides, Sydney were getting bigger attendees at the time anyway yet somehow that was ignored.

i genuinely can't believe how far WSW have fallen.

i thought they'd be the biggest sporting club in NSW by now. 

I didn't.

Can't expect a club without that many fans to attract a full house at AAMI .. who would go to see them play? VIctory members or WU? Or are you expecting NPL fans to rock up? Melbourne doesn't really have a culture of going to a sport event just for the spectacle of it (exceptions are Grand Prix, AFLGrand final, Melbourne Cup, Australian Open ... maybe why we are the sporting capital) you go watch your club play ... mostly.

Every other state that has hosted a final has manged to sell out no problems, and they don't have big week on week support either.

BTW we are talking 50,000 + attendances.

If Wanderers had continued on their growth trajectory, they may have been matching them by now.

Early success, brand new purpose-built stadium, passionate fans, represent the local community ----- and now about 5k turning up to home games.

If CCM V Newcastle can attract 37000 in Sydney then surely the so called ( laughingly ) sporting capital of the world can get 28-29000 to AAMI.

More of a protest crowd, Richmond play at the MCG, the MCG based teams hate playing home games at Marvel stadium. Also appears to be more of a Melbourne thing, Aussie rules crowds interstate have been back to normal, the Vic state government petrified the community last year and everyone is still reeling from that. The AFL has the media saturation to get going though, it just automatically bounces back, we don’t have that luxury.

I think it's the AFL capital of the world, not the sporting capital.
Yes AFL, where it's the biggest sport in the world in Melbourne. Always reminds me of that Guardian journalist who pined 'like seagulls fighting over a chip'

Its not ideal but 15-20k would still come across well on tv.  I cant imagine less turning up, the nsl grand finals in Melb would get that many so no reason this shouldnt.

My gut feel is City will lose in the semi though.

It's funny that the sort of posters that love to say we make excuses for the a league are now making excuses for AFL.

Not really, it’s not like 18k is the norm for them, if that became the weekly attendance different story.

A week after securing the premiership, just 3k fans turned out to 'honour' Melb City at home.

the fact that we're talking about City MAYBE getting half-capacity at its own ground for a grand final, shows you how dire things are.

I think it's a shame. City have played some really nice free scoring football this year. I was wrong about them.

Grand finals are still big events, see no reason why 15-20k wouldnt turn up to a City grand final at AAMI.

Agree with this, pretty confident City would attract a crowd in that range for a grand final at AAMI.
