14K at the Mariners game in ChCh also a nice boost to the Nix's home crowd average.
It should be highest figure next season with 2 home derbies and possibly a game at the new ChCh stadium in about 12 mths.
Super Rugby and NPC rugby crowds have also had big falls the last 10-20 years. It ain't a uniquely football issue.
Though AFL & NRL crowds are still very strong in Aussie, and obviously the Warriors despite still not winning anything of note, have had growing crowds the last 2-3 years. Some lessons in there
Though a bit oranges and apples. NRL clubs get $20M+ a year from their governing body. A League clubs $530K. One code can market the hell out of their game, the other can't
