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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I remember the commentators would hype the RBB and openly state the were a big part of the attendances as opposed to the game itself. Whether that ended up true or not I’m not sure but if it was that’s not sustainable long term, ultimately you need people to fall in love with the club itself, if people were just going for the rbb led atmosphere it ends up being more of a social event, these things rarely last.

You're half right.

The game itself (in terms of the quality on show) is immaterial to the vast majority of football fans in most leagues around the world.

I don't know about that... Based on that you would have to say that EPL followed by LaLigua are the two best quality leagues in the world and baring maybe 8-9 clubs in UK and 3 in Spain, there are leagues that I would  rate as more skilfull, more even and more entertaining as a spectacle.... Popularity is fickle  man ... Those billions of Asian kids wearing Messi and Mo Salah shirts barely watch the highlights, let alone the other teams in the league.

8k tonight at melbourne city 

Seemed like more, but decent turn out. 

Still have a long way to go to build a stronger base, but the move to the South East and success on the park do create some exciting opportunities. 

ACL participation confirmed for 2022, first A League silver wear and some very exciting football displayed this season is a great achievement by PK, the players and everyone at the club.

What would happen to the Sydney teams attendance if Liverpool FC were to join the A-league ? And if they built a stadium in Liverpool (Sydney's southwest) what would their crowd attendance be ? The pool of Int-player's that they could attract to the A-league would be insane ! Well this is actually a big possibility , There was plans submitted and approved at the start of covid-19 . A new stadium , sports center , hotel and aquatic center were on the plans ! Any thoughts ??

So an ALeague club that consistently recorded the lowest crowd figures has now the highest. Just how’s to show what being mainstream does.

I mean 22K this week, 24K last week. Not even an NSL FINAL achieved this consecutively. No monoethnic club can even dream to achieve this in the ALeague with their limited insular supporter base.

Now, it's not uncommon for all Football codes with an International flavour, in Football & Rugby League in both play in the national Australian league & in Rugby they play each other at a state/regional area  levels with teams from 3 countries, including New Zealand.
It's only AFL (biggest sport in the world in Melbourne) that have no connection in New Zealand  due to it's non existence outside of Australia.
These attendances the Phoneix get, do include A-League teams from Australia, so I see the connection.
As for Monoethnic culture, yes this team is a New Zealand team in the Australian A-League, seeking support from Kiwis.
Now is Sth Melbourne was a Greek club in the top tier of Australian football, I would understand that, but you are not. You are just a monoculture club in another country, which is perfectly fine, but those in powers do not want this is the top tier of football. You should be complaining to them not us, we  just bored with your agenda.
