It is a big problem. I think we are becoming the Knights! Sky Stadium just isn't sustainable.  
While it is definitely too big, it might be sustainable (that is, we could attract enough fans to at least break even each season) if we weren't such losers.

In our 18 year history, putting aside that we have never won a Championship, Cup or Premiership:

- We have finished top 3 just twice
- We have only finished better than 6th just five times (6th being mid table mediocrity in a league that has only had 12 teams for 4 seasons and 13 teams for one season. "Making the finals" sounds like a good season and management will declare it to be one but it really isn't)
- We have never finished better than 6th for two consecutive seasons 
- We have finished in the bottom half of the table in 11/18 seasons

And to top it all of we have won just two of our last 14 games in Wellington. 

Our loser owners/bosses will lament that the fans don't turn out. I could accept that if we had Melbourne City levels of success, a team that consistently does well but haven't been able to attract a fan base commensurate with that success. But the team simply has never delivered anywhere near the level of success which is needed to build a healthy fan base.
