let's not forget that the last 2 seasons we've finished last and 2nd to last so there's been no late season surge as playoff hype builds. Will be interesting to see the crowd numbers at the end of this season if our current form can be maintained. It's also important to note the difference between mean and median crowds. A few big outliers in previous seasons (for instance the post LA Galaxy game) have skewed the mean crowd figure I'd guess?
That was in season 1, which has been largely ignored in these discussions due to novelty factor plus games like that Adelaide one and first game ever being outliers.
We should get good crowds toward the end of the season if we keep our league position up, however having the Hutt rec games reasonably late is unfortunate.
