I think if the owners were told at the start of the season that outside the derby’s and the opening game of their season, they would average 14k crowds, they would have bitten your hand off.

Crowds will decrease next season, that is a sure thing as the novelty factor wears off and also as AFC eventually dont top the league any more,
.
While I would like a 15k stadium, I suspect outside the derby and final games, 12.5 would be enough longer term for Australian opposition. 

I mean the one constant on this forum is the talk of the Nix needing a boutique 12k stadium.
