Round 5 Attendances

2

Toughest start for south since 1985, if we go down this weekend entering uncharted territory.

3

Yep same for Subi. Both sides have to win. Here we are about to play only Round 6 and the season is already on the line. Not looking good.

4

If we lose this weekend it will be our worst start since 1965 when we lost the first 6 games.

5

It’s a matter of which team will play bad and win with the team to loose looking at the spoon at this early stage ??? I know it’s a long season but there’s a lot of ground to make up for the team that get’s rolled.

These attendance figures are considerably lower than last year. The question is, what are we going to do about it?

Interesting Peel has picked up the most,that could grow more next year with the full host club deal.

But that wont even come close to making up for the decline in the big clubs
concerning giants like SD WP and SF have dropped so much, the derbies will be hit hard further impacting I expect.

Hard to believe claremonts figures are dropping even more despite success.

I think this is a tragetory that will be very hard to arrest now, perhaps a break away league - to avoid the host club deal???

Interesting attendance figures, Subi v Cl attracting only 50 less than so called supporter powerhouses like Swans & Souths and thats with the Subi game on a wet friday night up against the Dockers and the Wildcats, if the game was played with out those factors could have doubled the numbers quite easily.

the ammos starting last week would hit a few clubs, i know the Basso ammo boys frequent the bar area in the outer and it was very sparse last week compared to other weeks..
