Yep, I even think 9000 is low considering it was our first final of sorts. Even though it was just the preseason cup. Can't see midweek cup games doing much better.
Just thought it was a good yardstick to use, wasn't suggesting it meant we would get good crowds.
Having said that, it would have been good to have them in NZ. I also don't think we should have to 'pay a price' to be involved in the competition. I can also understand the travel issue of a state side...but only if the same applies to Perth.
