Couldn't agree more Tonya.

It is, nevertheless, interesting to compare attendences - noting it's numbers through the turnstiles not relative %s that pay the bills. Another factor to bear in mind is the proximity of other teams. WSW travelling supporters probably add 1,500 to 2,000 to attendences at their away games at the Jets and Mariners and significantly more at SFC. The Melbourne derbies add huge numbers of "away" supporters to normal attendence numbers.

Which all makes me hope even more that one day we do get a second A-League franchise in NZ - I could very quickly see that becoming the "hottest ticket in town".
