I don’t think anyone in their right mind can consider a 12k crowd, which is 14k less than the corresponding fixture last year, acceptable.
Sure expect a decrease, but 14k is not ok.
It was a sharke season last season, but 25k attended the Wrexham game and the Nix were unbeatable this season playing their new biggest rival who were top of the league and who also brought a good number of supporters down,
I’m sure the owners don’t believe it is acceptable so no need to defend it.

Yes, the attendance was abysmal really. Its a new campaign, started the season off pretty well and the weather was good too. I expected 20k.
The economy is not helping and many families are struggling so that will be a big reason. I've followed AL for almost all its existence but I can't quite pinpoint why crowds fluctuate so massively.
When you look at most, if not all clubs, even Victory now, in the first 5-10 years many got 15k + average attendance. Now its a good 5k less and dropping (Same will happen to AFC by the way) There's a lot going against domestic football in this part of the world sadly.
