907 for the w league derby at ABD Stadium last night how much would they have got at aami park? 

Not enough to cover the costs of hiring the stadium.

BR v WU - 8,582

Looks like the new regime has "saved" the league again...

Thought it would be much less given the weather event an hour and a half before. I was one of many lined up along the gateway waiting for it to clear. Just goes to show how good the Lang Park pitch is it looked like it hadn't rained at all. Meanwhile down the road, Doomben night races were abandoned after race 3. Disappointing as probably would have hit over 10k which would be some achievement with the way we are playing at the moment. 

There was a pretty big freakish storm that hit 1 hour before kick off.

I was thinking of staying home but I decided to go.

12,023 in melbourne

Dear oh dear oh dear....

Ok, so what was it this time ? "Weather event" ? Transport strike? Cash registers not working at Myer...?

Well, Victory not doing well this season, playing the Nix, not really that bad a crowd

Rd 10 v Nix last season got 20k...

10,256 at Kogarah.

SFC on a good run and at a friendly time spot could only get 10k is crud.

Correct, shite crowd, no trains running doesn't help either.

Glory v WSW:  6177

In season 3, every single team except MV experienced a bigger average attendance. They didnt all finish first either

Yet in this thread a lot of comments are "x team is on top so their crowds should be good, x team is not first so their fans are exempt from attending"

The reason why the BBL (and to some extent the WBBL) is so successful is because fans enjoy the actual sport. Its about going to the game with your mates or family and having a good day out

12k for MV is terrible regardless of table position. And this excuse masks the real issue which is a decline in interest right across the board

The league needs to be looking at emulating a season 3 where fan bases are improving top to bottom because there is genuine interest in the league itself. It's as plain as day an open league with big teams will have a bigger impact right across the league compared to the current model

What a train wreck this season is becoming.

Thanks new ffa...

It will be interesting to see if MV average attendance this season drops below season 6 where attendance was 15,058 average.

Two things worth noting about Glory:
1.  Coming off an excellent season, so would not expect a drop off
2.  their attendances were actually better in the NSL, which is extraordinary.

The tribalism and buzz that season 3 had was incredible.
When Sydney FC came to town in Melbourne it’s was the must see event in Victoria which is why 50,000 turned up that night.

The atmospheres the games generated were fresh and not really seen in the public eye before which drew new fans in droves.

Bang in line with my prediction. 3rd day of over 40 ffs
What's does anyone expect?
TBH I reckon that "summer soccer" is shot as another idea

Say it again... 3rd day in a row over 40.

36 at the kick off. I wouldn't go. 

Time to start talking about moving to the winter. 

We seem to have been squashed in by competing codes which is creating headaches at every turn.

Would we be able to move our season to winter? Unlikely, as RL and AFL dominate the landscape, even down to ground availability.

What will happen in 2022 if we make the World Cup? Will the season be paused? 

Easy. Tickets were $10 back then...now they at least $35.

Weather was no excuse at Perth, it was played at 6:45, once the sun started going down it cooled right down and was actually quite nice. Now why the fuck are our next two home games at 4:30? 

I don't understand how people keep forgetting this key issue. 

I remember going to Sydney United and Marconi Stallions home games every weekend and being able to afford it. I wasn't even a fan of either club but lived in the area and loved going. 

I was only around 12 years old and watched every home game of both clubs plus Fairfield Bulls home games in the Super League. The only way I'd miss a home game of either club was if they played on the same day.

Good luck these days if at that age your parents can afford for you to attend so many games. 

Ticket prices shouldn't be anywhere near what the other codes cost, yet in some cases we have more expensive tickets, it's a fucking joke when trying to grow the popularity of the game. 

That would be a valid point if the attendances havent been consistently poor all season

This forum tends to analyse each game individually and then reel off reasons why it was lower than the imaginary figure it should have been. Yet we see similar attendances for clubs week after week, and in past seasons. We also dont see attendances in other summer codes halve due to the heat

WSW v WU - 8k
Nix v SFC - 7k
City v Victory - 13k
Glory v Jets - 6k
CCM v AUFC - 6k

Crazy for tickets to be more expensive than BBL and NBL.

13k..?

Please no

I guess. Too much end of days premonition for any perceived attendance. It is important to look at factors that impact attendance. This is not England with generational connections and endless streams of marketing. Weather, times, transport, importance of contest and rivalry or lack of all are factors whether people will attend games. Just want to see improvements in strategies to ensure clubs stay viable and the game can organically grow. It will take time hopefully we have the right people in charge.
