I'd guess that first season crowds will be lower than the nix's, but if they have any siccess, particularly over the nix then the second season will be a masive improvement. It wouldnt surpise me that by season three they'll have regular crowds of 10-12k

Think the opposite. With a big marketing budget, some highest profile visa signings, and just the novelty of ALM football back in the 09 after 17 years the crowds will be big. Comfortably larger than what the Nix currently get at the ROF. That's season 1. After that who knows, but like any shiny new toy some of the casual interest will drop off.

I remember in 1990s when the Warriors were launched, and their first game at Mt Smart in front of a full house hosting glamour outfit at the time the Broncos. They had the army doing stuff under the lights, with helicopters etc. The Warriors had some high profile signings their first season. Dean Bell. Andy Platt & Dennis Betts from the UK. I can see some similarlities season 1, no expense spared on signings and marketing glitz.
