If we are wanting to grow the game I think the onus still is with the clubs to a point. Sure Mainland are responsible for advertising the brand to a larger extend. Clubs really need to get buy in from their local communities to increase crowd numbers, when I was playing there consistently were decent crowds at most games, albeit Southern league era however if you have strong community engagement with a family environment where families can enjoy an afternoon out then that will only help. Clubs working closer with the junior branch to increase their support in home games will help also
