Interestingly, WSL had attendances increase something like 250% after hosting (and winning) the Euros. 

Maybe Australia won't have the same boost because they didn't win the WC, but they really did have a fudgeload of people attend the games. Convert even a small percentage into ALW regulars and you'll have a similar increase I'd say. 

But it's also up to the clubs because frankly a lot have them have been piss poor with promotion in the past. Better promotion, better and less hard-to-access grounds, better broadcaster coverage and better kickoff times. 
Yes going to be interesting to see what push the ALW gets. The timing of the season start is pretty good being soon after this WC. I see the clubs have been pushing the free attendance for kids under 16. Also alot of the clubs have not really been announcing players recruitment much yet. So they might be waiting till after WWC so they can generate some hype.
But more importantly for us. what is NZF got in mind to take advantage of the expected surge in interest. Potentially an announcement of a ALW team in Auckland. NZ National league is soon to get underway. But its at grassroots level where they need to be focusing on to most take advantage to support the womens game into the future.
