Slightly different tack.
I keep banging on about 2009/10 because that season was fantastic for a whole range of reasons. The British strike force being one for me (featuring the unknown pom Tim Brown).
Crouds for both play-offs were healthy.
How do we (or can we) replicate similar conditions to repeat the experience and generate crouds?
What stands out in 09/10 compared with our other forays into the finals is a word that Ernie doesn't like, momentum. The 'Nix in 09/10 finished the season with 3 wins (6 wins in the final 8 games) while in 11/12, where we equalled the points tally and position of 09/10, we finished the season with DLL and resulted in a similar turnout as last nights game in the home final against Sydney (which we won). This season we beat our previous best seasons of 09/10 and 11/12 (using points per game) but our momentum leading up to the finals was poor.
We still had our 2nd highest average attendance at Westpac stadium during the regular season.
